Overview
- The Caravan Salon, which opened on 28 August in Düsseldorf, occupies about 15 halls and an outdoor area across roughly 250,000 square metres with more than 830 exhibitors.
- For the first time the fair has a dedicated roof‑tent hall (Halle 7a), responding to steady consumer growth that manufacturers say now reaches families, couples and beginners.
- Exhibitors displayed a wide range of new items from low‑cost and compact roof tents to luxury prototypes such as a camper with a roof terrace and smart interior tech like a mirror that becomes a TV.
- Practical buying advice at the show warns that roof tents cost roughly €1,000–€8,000 and that buyers must check their vehicle’s dynamic and static roof‑load limits in the registration before fitting a tent.
- Organisers also expanded an Offroad zone and a StarterWelt for newcomers, underlining that the event maps both high‑end innovation and accessible entry points that could broaden the caravaning customer base.
