Production
Different trends in the production of motorhomes and caravans
Highest production ever recorded with around 89,000 motor caravans produced. Caravan production adjusted in line with demand with a decline of 17.4%.
- After the production focus on caravans in 2022, triggered by a lack of motor caravan chassis, the demand-based adjustment takes place in 2023
- Manufacturers react to the Europe-wide decline in caravan registrations and increase in dealer stocks
- Caravan production falls back to 2016 level with around 44,900 units
- A billion in sales is maintained due to price increases despite decline in production

- Highest production ever recorded with around 89,000 motor caravans produced
- Record from 2021 (82,000) is thus significantly exceeded
- This record was made possible by the diversification of base vehicle suppliers and improved chassis availability
- New registrations did not grow in line with production, inventory was built up accordingly
