Bürstner at Caravan Salon: farewell to trailers, new motorhomes

At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf (August 28 – September 6), Bürstner will present new motorhome and camper models. The company from Kehl is completely phasing out production of caravans, focusing on self-propelled vehicles. According to one source, production of motorhomes will be completely stopped, but the company promises to present a new concept in two years; another source says Bürstner is ending production of caravans, not motorhomes.

New models include the Signature motorhome based on the Mercedes Sprinter (from €94,000), the Habiton camper with a new transverse bed layout (from €79,000), and an expanded line of budget Papillon models (from €44,000). Last year, the company radically renewed its model range.
