Caravan Salon: Independent camping: Autarky is the trend in motorhomes
Up to the campsite? Not really, some caravanners say and would rather stay at a winery or farm. But sometimes it's difficult to recharge there. The industry is reacting.
The caravanning industry is responding to a growing demand for vehicles that can operate independently for longer periods. Daniel Onggowinarso from the Caravaning Industrie Verband (CIVD) says that more and more people, especially couples and friends, want to be able to park their caravans or motorhomes on farms, vineyards, or by the forest without needing to connect to utilities.
Manufacturers are meeting this demand by offering larger batteries, water storage, and solar panels, as seen at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. Examples of such vehicles include Hymer’s B-ML model, which costs at least €178,000 and features a large gas tank, improved battery system, and optimized toilet system.
