More than 1,000 vehicles from around 20 manufacturers, including Hymer, Fendt, Hobby and Dethleffs, will be on display, along with a camper van exhibition featuring Pössl, Globecar, Roadcar and Sunlight. Discounts and special conditions in the accessories shop, valid only on site, and an entertainment programme are announced.

Pössl Group, the market leader in camper vans in Germany, offers a wide range of models under various brands, making selection challenging. The article organizes information on key series: D-Line (classic campers on Dethleffs chassis), H-Line (high-top models), Summit (modern bestsellers with a swivel bathroom wall), and subsidiary brands Globecar (Pössl equivalents), Roadcar (budget options), and Clever Vans (unconventional layouts for families).

The Pössl Group has introduced the Globecar Globescout Vario, a 6-meter camper van based on the Fiat Ducato with a GRP roof extension, offering 2.45 m of interior headroom. Available from May 2026 starting at €63,999, it provides four berths without a pop-up roof, making it suitable for winter camping.

The Globecar Summit 600 is a six-meter campervan featuring a swivel bathroom and a base price starting at €52,999. It offers up to five sleeping places and a classic layout.

There are currently no reported recalls or known defects for the 2026 Globecar camper van model. The vehicle features a 140 hp diesel engine, an automatic transmission, and a gross vehicle weight of 3.5 tons. The manufacturer offers a 10-year watertightness warranty subject to annual inspections.

A customer filed a complaint against INDIE CAMPERS due to a faulty caravan and a delayed handover. The rented travel trailer had broken curtains, malfunctioning heating, gas system, and refrigerator, and half of the paid chemical tablets were missing. The handover was delayed by an hour, preventing proper inspection, and upon return, the customer was charged for mirror damage allegedly not covered by the premium insurance.

The German company Reisemobile Brumberg has added Sterckeman travel trailers to its rental fleet. The fleet, located on a 5500+ sq m site, also includes motorhomes from Pössl, Globecar, and other brands. Booking is available online, with more favorable rates offered outside the peak season.

The new VANTourer 600 Ds camper van was presented at the CMT 2026 show in Stuttgart. Its 'less is more' concept features a 5.99-meter length, a traditional gas system, a functional kitchen, and a transformable lounge bed at the rear. The base price is set at 52,990 euros, positioning it below many competitors in this segment.
