Record motorhome sales in Germany as caravans lose ground
Original source: MeinBezirk.at

In Brief

Germany saw 75,368 new motorhome registrations in 2025, an all-time high. Caravan sales dropped 13.4% to 18,766 units. The trend is linked to freedom and flexibility, though purchase prices start at €80,000.

In 2025, Germany recorded a historic high in motorhome demand with 75,368 new registrations, while new caravan sales fell 13.4% to 18,766 units. The shift from towable caravans to self-propelled motorhomes is observed across Europe.

The growing popularity of motorhomes extends beyond seasoned campers to former hotel holidaymakers. Bernhard Kübler founded Kübler Rent & Camp in 2025, citing freedom, proximity to nature and route flexibility as key advantages. However, purchase prices starting at €80,000 lead many to choose rental instead.

Dethleffs Trend I 7027: Unusual layout with electric drop-down bed

Dethleffs has introduced the Trend I 7027 with a non-standard layout: instead of a rear bedroom, there is a large U-shaped lounge, while sleeping accommodation consists of two longitudinal single beds in an electric drop-down bed at the front. The motorhome measures 7.40 m in length, 2.33 m in width, and 3.00 m in height. The base price is €97,999. The model will premiere at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026.
