IMTEST tested five motorhomes suitable for four people, including models from Hymerⓘ, Knaus, Forster, Sunlight, and Etrusco. The tested motorhomes range in price from 46,000 to 127,000 euros. In 2024, 96,392 leisure vehicles were newly registered in Germany, an increase of 9.1% compared to the previous year. In the first quarter of 2025, new registrations fell by 12.9% year-on-year, mainly due to delayed commercial registrations.

Caravan vs. Motorhome Test: Which Vehicle Wins?

The Weser Kurier tested a Fendt Tendenza 550 SG caravan and a Hymer Yellowstone 601 motorhome. The caravan offered more comfort and lower cost: base price €35,880, sleeping for four, length 7.72 m. The motorhome, based on a Fiat Ducato, starts at €78,000, is easier to drive but less spacious. The choice depends on travel style: stationary camping favors the caravan, mobile trips favor the motorhome.

GPS tracking leads police to motorhome thief in Luebeck

On August 7, 2026, a motorhome was stolen from Willy-Brandt-Allee in Luebeck. The owner used a GPS tracking system to locate the vehicle, and police found it and a suspect on Isaac-Newton-Strasse. The 49-year-old suspect was inside the motorhome and showed signs of drug and alcohol use, leading to a blood test. The next day, a court issued an arrest warrant for aggravated theft but suspended it, releasing the suspect.
