Number of caravans in use
The number of registered caravans remained at a level of around 560,000 units until 2011. Up to this point, mainly replacement investments were made, so that new registrations and deletions of caravans balanced each other out. As interest in caravanning as a form of vacation grew, new customers joined the market, causing the stock of caravans to increase steadily by 1.5 to 3 percent annually. As of January 1, 2022, more than 756,000 caravans were registered with the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). That is 2.4 percent more than a year ago.
