German company Roadsurfer, founded in 2016 with 25 Volkswagen vans in Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg, is celebrating its tenth anniversary. The fleet now numbers about 10,000 campers and motorhomes, with a network of roughly 100 locations in 16 countries, including the US and Canada. Since its founding, the service has hosted about 420,000 travelers.
The average booking length has grown to 110 days, which management says reflects a shift from spontaneous trips to annual planning. In 2025, 31% of customers traveled with children. North America was named the fastest-growing market, with about 120% growth in 2025. The company employs about 1,000 people.
The camper rental market is growing by 8–10% per year, creating demand for professional van conversions. For self-employed workers, this is an opportunity: 66% of customers are aged 25–44, but certification standards and seasonal demand must be considered.
