Frankia

Frankia has revised its Neo range, renaming the semi-integrated Neo MT as Cruiser and the integrated Neo MI as Liner. Both models are offered at 3.5 or 4.5 tonnes, measure 7 metres long and 2.24 metres wide, and have a standing height of 2 metres. Five interior trim lines are available: Sun, Ocean, Peach, Dune and Desert. The bathroom, with pull-out washbasin and toilet, is described by the manufacturer as the largest in its class. Prices start at around €105,000 for the Cruiser and €120,000 for the Liner.

German manufacturer Frankia is ending the production cycle of its F-Line model range with a Final Edition. The version for the fully integrated I 740 GD on a Fiat-AL-KO chassis includes an Alde water heater instead of Truma, a 320 Ah lithium iron polymer battery with two 110 W solar modules, a charge booster and an inverter. The vehicle measures 7.54 metres and accommodates up to four people. The rear garage, 1.24 metres high with a rear hatch that will be discontinued after this series, is accessible from three sides.

At Caravan Salon 2026, Frankia presented the Neo Liner 6.6 H, a compact motorhome based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes. Instead of a fixed bed, it features a 2×2-metre electric lift bed that fully covers the living area when lowered. The L-shaped kitchen has a wide worktop and cabinets comparable in volume to apartment furniture. The rear section houses a 1.2-metre-high garage for two bicycles, with a compact washroom nearby and a through storage compartment under the floor. Standard equipment includes diesel heating and a reversing camera. The price is €124,900. The manufacturer notes growing demand for specialised layouts.

Frankia has unveiled the Noctra Liner 8.3 L, a flagship motorhome measuring 8.45 metres and weighing 5.5 tonnes, built on a three-axle Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with Alko suspension. The model features a 150 hp four-cylinder engine paired with a 9-speed automatic, a 180-litre fresh water tank, a 150-litre waste water tank and a 92-litre fuel tank. The interior includes a lounge with two facing sofas, a kitchen with a compressor fridge and artificial stone worktop, a bathroom with a floor-level shower tray, and an optional drop-down bed increasing sleeping capacity to four. The base price starts at 164,000 euros.

At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, manufacturers presented models for the 2027 season. The Adria Compact 2027 keeps a width of 2.12 m but gains a revised layout, while the Frankia Neo 6.6 H at 6.6 m long and 2.24 m wide offers a choice of bed configurations and a large rear kitchen. The Hymer B-ML on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter base and the Westfalia Columbus Liner with a three-level layout and optional energy packages aim to increase off-grid autonomy. All-wheel-drive Hymer ML-T 570 CrossOver and Grand Canyon S 600 CrossOver, plus the Adria Supertwin 4x4, expand the off-road segment. The VANTourer 600 D with its Variobad 2.0 system and the Adria Matrix 2027 with an electric lifting bed demonstrate interior flexibility. Electrification advances more slowly: the Dethleffs c.core on a Volkswagen Crafter base explores lightweight construction and energy management, while the Niesmann+Bischoff iSmove 2027 can be equipped with up to 600 Ah of lithium batteries and 660 W of solar power.

Frankia, Hymer and Carthago have updated or launched new three-axle integrated motorhomes over eight meters long for the 2027 season. The Frankia Noctra Liner 8.3 L, Hymer B-Klasse Master Line I 880 and Carthago Chic E-Line I 61 XL LE differ in layout and equipment: Frankia emphasizes an open, modern living space, Hymer combines luxury with high self-sufficiency, and Carthago maintains its opulent Liner style with a focus on storage, comfort and digital technology.

Frankia expands the Noctra range with two fully integrated models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Noctra Liner 8.3 L at 164,000 euros and Noctra Liner 7.6 at 157,000 euros.

German manufacturer Frankia has added two integrated Liner models to its premium Noctra range for the 2027 model year. The Noctra Liner 7.6L measures 7.80 m, while the Noctra Liner 8.3L is built on a Mercedes chassis with a tandem rear axle and measures 8.45 m; both feature twin beds and a garage. Prices start at €157,900 for the 7.6L and €164,900 for the 8.3L with a 2.0-litre 150 hp engine and 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox.

At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Concorde unveiled the new Centurion class with a modern oak interior, a large bathroom with macerator toilet and digital headlights; prices start at approximately 800,000 euros. The company also switched from Mastervolt to Victron for electrical systems and invested 10 million euros in a new service centre for its 45th anniversary. Frankia introduced the 8.3-metre Noctra Liner with tandem axle and the 6.99-metre Neo Liner with face-to-face layout and electric lift bed for two, while Dethleffs showed the c.core concept with solar panels in the awning, the new Graneo on Mercedes Sprinter with a 5.5-tonne chassis and the affordable Just Van.

At Caravan Salon 2026 in Düsseldorf, six integrated motorhomes for the 2027 model year were presented with unconventional designs. Manufacturers from Spain, France, Italy and Germany are deliberately moving away from the classic white look to stand out in a saturated market. The new models include: Benimar Amphitryon A981 (from 79,990 euros, Fiat Ducato, 180 hp, length 5.98 m), Frankia Noctra Liner 7.6 L (from 157,900 euros, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, length 7.80 m), Mobilvetta K-Yacht Tekno Design (from 144,900 euros, Fiat Ducato, length 7.56 m), Mooveo INT-78 QBF Alko (from 88,867 euros, Fiat Ducato, length 7.89 m), Pilote Galaxy G740FGJ (from 87,900 euros, Fiat Ducato, length 7.59 m) and Roller Team Zefiro 287 (from 86,440 euros, Power Edition from 91,490 euros, Fiat Ducato, 140 hp, length 7.45 m).

German company Frankia has presented the Neo Liner 6.6 H motorhome based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The 6.62-metre motorhome is designed for two people and features a large L-shaped kitchen at the rear. The front lounge area includes an electric drop-down bed measuring 2 by 2 metres. The base specification uses a 1.95-litre diesel engine producing 150 hp and a 9-speed automatic transmission. The starting price on the German market is 124,900 euros.

German manufacturer Frankia from Oberhaid is radically restructuring its range: classic F-Line, Titan and Platin series are being discontinued, replaced by new models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The new Noctra Liner (from €157,900) and Neo Liner (from €124,900) are built on Sprinter, while the Together Edition anniversary model (from €119,900 for alcove, from €143,900 for integrated) and Final Edition F-Line/Titan (from €139,990) remain on Fiat Ducato. From 2027, all Frankia motorhomes will be front-wheel drive only, with rear-wheel drive dropped from the program.

At the Caravan Salon 2026 show in Düsseldorf, Frankia presented the Neo Liner 6.6 H, an integrated motorhome based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The model measures under 7 metres and has a gross vehicle weight of 3.5 tonnes, so it can be driven without a special licence. Its key feature is a longitudinal electric bed measuring 2×2 metres that, when lowered, completely occupies the lounge area with facing sofas. The manufacturer states the model is suitable only for couples with synchronised sleeping schedules. The kitchen has an L-shaped layout, and there is a 1.2-metre-high garage and a through-floor storage compartment. The price is 124,900 euros.

The second gathering of motorhome travellers, organised by the YouTube channel Un autre Voyage, took place from 28 to 30 August in Nant on the Larzac plateau. More than 30 crews from across France attended in motorhomes, campervans, 4x4s and vans. The publication interviewed five crews about their vehicle choices, from a self-converted Ford Transit to a heavy-duty Frankia motorhome. Interviewees also included owners of a Fuso 4x4 with a Skapade body, a Fiat Ducato L1H1 and a used Rapido motorhome priced under €30,000.

At the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf, Frankia presented its new Noctra Liner series, comprising the 7.6L and 8.3L models on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The flagship 8.3L is 8.45 meters long, 2.39 meters wide, and 3 meters high, with a twin rear axle and panoramic glazing. Standard equipment includes electric leveling, Alde diesel heating, wireless charging, and more. Pricing starts at €164,900.

At the Elmia Husvagn Husbil trade fair, opening September 9, Forsbergs Fritidscenter will showcase three Swedish premieres in booth A01:30: the new flagship Concorde Centurion 2027, Frankia's new top series Noctra Liner, and the adventure-oriented Yucon K-Peak. The full Niesmann+Bischoff lineup, including the Arto 84, will also be on display, along with maintenance lectures for motorhome owners.

French motorhomers Michel and Claudine, with over 40 years of experience, have purchased their eighth motorhome — a premium integrated Frankia on a heavy-duty chassis. After one year of use and 17,000 km, they said they chose this model because mid-range motorhomes are not built to last for long-term living, citing issues such as window leaks and broken curtains. The motorhome is under 8 meters long and equipped with two 80-liter LPG tanks, 450 watts of solar panels, and 320 amp-hours of lithium batteries. The owners use it 5–6 months per year, with trips planned to Portugal in September and Morocco in January.

A 2023 FRANKIA YUCON 6,0GD 4×4 motorhome with low mileage and full equipment is offered in Moscow. The 6-meter model sleeps two.
