In Brief

Bürstner is ending caravan production to focus on motorhomes and camper vans. At Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, it will show new models, including the Signature series from €94,000.

Bürstner has announced it will completely stop producing caravans, focusing instead on motorhomes and camper vans. At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf (August 28 – September 6), the company will present new models.

Among the highlights is the Signature series based on the Mercedes Sprinter with Alko chassis, priced from €94,000, as well as the Habiton camper with a new transverse bed layout. Prices for the Papillon will be adjusted, and two new versions will be added to the B66 models.

The company from Kehl, which last year reduced its model range from 15 to three series, is now betting on motorhomes and campers. Caravan production will be paused, but Bürstner promises to present a new concept in two years.
