Motorhome as real home: demand shifts toward quality of life

According to dealer Dürrwang Mörlein in Dortmund, buyers increasingly see motorhomes not as holiday vehicles but as actual residences. Instead of asking about bed count and storage, customers now inquire about kitchen equipment, workspace, and standing height. Manufacturers like Hymer are adapting floor plans and technical systems for year-round use, including better insulation and energy efficiency. In the used motorhome market, it is crucial to check for moisture damage, the gas system, and maintenance history, as these factors are vital for long-term living.

The town of Torgelow in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district plans to redesign an island in the Uecker river to attract more water tourists and motorhome travelers. The approximately two-hectare island will partly become a caravan site and partly a park, with a bridge planned for access. The town council will decide on the project in September. Torgelow already has a motorhome parking area used by tourists heading to the Baltic Sea and Usedom.

At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf (August 28 – September 6, 2026), German company Eifelland will present the electric Nissan Interstar-e van designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts. The 6.31-meter model differs from standard vans by lacking a traditional dinette and fixed bathroom, instead featuring modular seats on rails, a spacious kitchen on the left, a permanent bed above a large storage area, and a dry toilet. Options include up to five seats, a pop-up roof (from 2027), and a shower. Fresh water capacity is 20 liters; no water heater is installed.
