Production
Different trends in the production of motorhomes and caravans
Production results remain at a high level, supported by a comparatively stable first half of the year.
- After the production peak in 2022 due to a lack of motorcaravan chassis, a demand-based adjustment was made in 2023, which will continue in 2024
- Manufacturers continue to respond to the Europe-wide decline in caravan registrations and dealer stocks
- Production continues to fall to around 33,900 units in 2024
- Despite the decline, average prices per unit and ex works rise to over € 23,400 net; however, the billion-euro sales mark cannot be maintained
