Original source: »kfz-betrieb«

In Brief

German manufacturers produced about 99,000 motorhomes and caravans in 2025, a 17% decline year-on-year. Causes cited include temporary overproduction and high dealer inventories, though one source points to high inflation and falling demand.

According to industry sources, production of motorhomes and caravans in Germany fell by approximately 17% in 2025 to around 99,000 units. The decline is attributed to a temporary market glut and high inventory levels at dealerships.

However, one source cites high inflation and reduced consumer demand as the cause, reporting a 15% drop. Despite the production decrease, demand for new and used vehicles remains strong.
