In Brief
Demand for motorhomes in Germany is rising: 900,000 insured units in 2024. Motorhomes dominate caravans despite prices over 120,000 euros.
The popularity of motorhomes in Germany continues to grow: according to GDV, 900,000 units were insured in 2024. The decision to buy or rent depends on financial factors, including price, insurance, and depreciation.
Motorhomes (Reisemobile) are significantly more popular than caravans (Wohnwagen), although the latter are cheaper to buy and maintain. The average price of a motorhome exceeds 120,000 euros, while a caravan costs around 30,000 euros. The main reasons are ease of use (no special driving license required, easier parking) and a psychological factor: many people are afraid of towing a trailer.
The market is responding: at the Caravan Salon, 166 motorhome brands are presented versus 20 caravan brands, and some manufacturers have raised caravan prices by up to 30% without technical innovations.

Even when all devices in a motorhome are switched off in the evening, the auxiliary battery can lose a significant amount of charge overnight. This is often caused by consumers that continue to operate in the background, such as control units, refrigerators, alarm systems, routers, and charging electronics. While a single device may draw little power, the combined consumption can add up over time, especially during longer stationary periods. Campers are advised to check battery levels before and after standing time and to measure parasitic drain if unexpected losses occur.
The ADAC's PiNCAMP portal has listed the 100 most popular campsites in Europe, including three in East Bavaria. One of them is Campingpark Nabburg in the Schwandorf district. Nearly 40 of the listed sites are in Germany.
At the Caravan Salon 2026, KEC Motors presented its first Sprinter conversion. The Mountaineer Grand Expedition features an unusual layout: instead of a traditional dinette, there is an L-shaped bench with a pull-out extension and a folding table. The equipment includes a bidirectional drawer in the kitchen, a sliding toilet compartment, a transverse bed measuring 1.95 × 1.80 m, a 400 Ah LiFePO₄ battery, a 240 Wp solar panel, an off-grid air conditioner, diesel heating, and underfloor heating. The vehicle has a 10 cm raised suspension, a 5.5-tonne winch, and a roof hatch. Base price: from €185,000.
According to the ADAC PiNCAMP portal, Schleswig-Holstein ranks first in popularity among German campers, ahead of Bavaria. Ten campsites from the state made it into the top 100 in Europe, with three in the top ten. The Wulfener Hals park on Fehmarn leads the ranking. In 2025, Schleswig-Holstein recorded about 5.5 million overnight stays at campsites, up 2% year-on-year.
