Bürstner to stop caravan production from 2027

German manufacturer Bürstner announced it will suspend caravan production from the 2027 season. The company will focus on motorhomes and camper vans. The decision follows a decline in demand: in 2025, only 18,766 new caravans were registered in Germany, a 13.4% drop year-on-year. Service and spare parts for existing customers will remain available.

Bürstner, a subsidiary of the Hymer Group, will stop producing caravans (towed trailers) from the 2027 season.

The motorhome and caravan market in Germany has shifted from a boom to stabilization. In 2025, the states of Hesse, Lower Saxony, and Bremen recorded slowing growth, with new vehicle registrations under pressure while demand for used models remains stable. The caravan (travel trailer) market shows signs of saturation.
