Vast choice and latest trends
The hallmark of Düsseldorf is the vast choice offered in as many halls as ever – the line-up – ranging from mini caravans with a berth and stove for small budgets to luxury motorhomes – boasts everything that makes the pulse of caravanning fans race. CARAVAN SALON is where nearly all renowned national and international manufacturers launch the latest generation of motorhomes and caravans. After the number of exhibitors was lower in the last two years due to the pandemic, the exhibition area is larger than ever this year with 16 halls. As usual, there is an interactive hall plan to help you find your way around.
Vehicle trends continue to include a growing selection of panel van models. Furthermore, due to the supply bottlenecks at Fiat, many manufacturers are relying on alternative base vehicles such as the Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter or the VW Crafter. The topic of e-mobility, which was already present last year, will also play an increasing role.

“Abenteuer Selbstausbau” / Adventure DIY
CARAVAN SALON is also extraordinarily well positioned in the accessories, technical equipment and detachable parts segments. No other event for caravanning worldwide offers experts as well as end users a wider, more comprehensive and international line-up of products. Correspondingly, the special show “Abenteuer Selbstausbau” will be staged on the outdoor spaces between Halls 5 and 9 for the first time. Here several self-fitted recreational vehicles can be “inspected” and put through their paces. Various daily talks for beginners, advanced and professional DIY practitioners cover such themes as module installation, layout planning, electrical installations, lightweight construction materials, water supply, workshop and material science, interior, costs and time consumed.
ALPINE
Emotion in MobilityThe fact that ALPINE's philosophy "Emotion in Mobility" and the motto of the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf "connected through passion" are a perfect match can be seen in the lively reception that ALPINE's continuously expanded product range receives every year in Düsseldorf.
In hall 14 stand A28 and on the outdoor area between halls 12-13 ALPINE presents a range of new products for the popular leisure vehicles from Ford, Fiat, Volkswagen and Mercedes. The presentation will focus on the new sound solutions for the Ford Transit, VW T6 & T6.1, VW Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter W907/910 and Fiat Ducato as well as the new vehicle-specific navigation solutions from ALPINE.
Especially for the current facelift of the Fiat Ducato 8 (from 2021), ALPINE now has a range of new navigation devices on offer, including a new swivelling and tilting navigation solution as a "world premiere", which will be on show for the first time at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. Based on the ALPINE Halo11 and ALPINE Halo9 infotainment systems, this takes the flexible and clear display of maps, camera displays and functions to a new level and will once again delight many motorhome enthusiasts.
In terms of sound solutions, Alpine is expanding its successful "Alpine Adventure Audio" product range with newly developed sound systems for motorhomes and recreational vehicles based on the Ford Transit and VW Crafter / MAG TGE. All Adventure Audio systems can be installed via plug and play.
In the first upgrade level, the sound upgrade consists of a 2-way loudspeaker system that brings the sound image to a completely new level and, with the high-quality stainless steel cover of the tweeters, also visually enhances the interior of the vehicle. Further upgrade levels include a subwoofer and a digital amplifier with vehicle-specific sound settings for an even more dynamic and precise sound experience.
At the joint stand of ALPINE and alphatronics you will find the Motorhomecouch (Reisemobilcouch) again this year. There, our mascot Alpy will be waiting for a photo with you or together with your dog.
Equipment & Outdoor as well as Travel & Nature
Hall 3 focuses on the themes Equipment & Outdoor as well as Travel & Nature. The Equipment & Outdoor segment presents suppliers of tents, folding caravans, caravanning and camping accessories as well as outdoor wear and gear. In the Travel & Nature segment visitors can find the complete range of caravanning and camping tourism – here the most attractive campsites and pitches, the most attractive regions and most versatile leisure activities are all on show. The “centrepiece” of Hall 3 is the “Travel & Nature CONNECTED” stage with a versatile and informative mix of entertainment and presentations. The interactive agenda mixes face-to-face with digital appearances – interested parties can also join online and ask questions via a chat function.
Caravan Center
The passion for caravanning extends even beyond the exhibition halls bringing many visitors to the popular Caravan Center at Messe parking lot P1 (large parking lot P1). This Europe’s largest RV park boasting some 3,500 serviced and unserviced pitches during CARAVAN SALON caters to just about every wish. Due to the high demand these pitches are quickly snapped up and so should be reserved via the Ticketshop early on. Reservations are only accepted online at www.caravan-salon.com and by visitors to CARAVAN SALON.
