Bürstner halts caravan production after sales decline
Original source: Vi Bilägare

German manufacturer Bürstner will suspend caravan (travel trailer) production from the 2027 season, focusing entirely on motorhomes. The decision follows a prolonged drop in caravan demand while motorhome sales have risen sharply. The company may resume caravan production in the future but has set no timeline. Existing caravan owners will still receive service and spare parts.

The rush continues: new large motorhome facility

In response, dealer Hymer Center will open its ninth facility in the country, this time in Jönköping. The 12,000 sq m complex (main building 2,300 sq m) will include sales, service, workshop, and store for brands Hymer, Carado, and Eriba. The investment is 75 million Swedish kronor, with construction planned to start in 2027.

Caravan owners complain of discrimination compared to motorhomes

Caravan owners in Sweden are voicing frustration over what they see as preferential treatment for motorhomes. Anders Holmberg said he is tired of the 'coddling' of motorhomes, while caravans are increasingly banned from parking areas. He claims motorhomes can park for free in city centers, whereas caravans are forced to find spots outside towns. Industry representatives say the conflict is not widespread but acknowledge issues with restrictive signage.
