Changes brewing in the caravan industry
Original source: auto-medienportal.net

Changes are underway at the Erwin Hymer Group. After Bürstner announced it would cease caravan production in 2027, Dethleffs now also faces cuts. The company, considered the inventor of the caravan, is not exiting the trailer segment entirely but is discontinuing the Camper, Nomad, and Beduin Scandinavia lines. Dethleffs plans to return to the market in the 2028 model year with completely revamped models, a surprise given the comprehensive update of all three series in 2025.
