Held in early September, Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2025 is the world’s largest caravan and motorhome exhibition, showcasing the latest trends and developments in mobile travel across hundreds of thousands of square meters. The event is a special milestone in the industry every year, as it is here that manufacturers, suppliers and users can encounter the innovations that will shape the future for the first time. Autóflex-KNOTT Kft. also visited the event to experience the new products first-hand, find inspiration and gain new ideas.
Innovation in the caravan industry
At this year’s exhibition, technological development and sustainability went hand in hand. Digital systems played an increasingly important role: many motorhomes and caravans now come with functions that can be controlled via smartphone. Lighting, air conditioning, energy consumption – all can be controlled from a single app, making caravanning more convenient than ever before.
Self-sufficient solutions have also become a central theme. With the help of state-of-the-art solar panel systems, energy storage devices, and water treatment technologies, users can stay away from civilization for longer periods of time. Traveling close to nature is thus increasingly about independence, freedom, and sustainability.
New shapes and experiences
One of the exciting trends at Caravan Salon was the rise of compact models. These smaller but versatile motorhomes offer a solution for urban transport and weekend getaways. In addition, models have appeared in the premium segment that have elevated mobile travel to a level of luxury: spacious interiors, high-quality materials, and sophisticated design have made the experience even more enjoyable.
The themed zones also offered visitors a special experience. The world of DIY builders, stands presenting travel destinations, an inspiring nature area, and a community camping atmosphere all contributed to making the exhibition not just a professional event, but a real festival of experiences.
Professional inspiration and experiences
For our colleagues representing Autóflex-KNOTT Kft., it was particularly valuable to see first-hand the trends that will define the caravan and trailer market in the coming years. We were impressed by the innovations not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of design and usability.
The personal encounters, direct experiences, and professional discussions provided us with a wealth of ideas. Our colleagues are returning home filled with inspiration and enriched with new perspectives, ready to put these experiences to use in their daily work and in their collaboration with our partners.
Summary
Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2025 proved that the future of mobility is all about freedom, sustainability, and comfort. Smart technologies, self-sufficient systems, compact and luxury models alike show that the caravan industry is constantly evolving, taking the travel experience to new heights.
For the team at Autóflex-KNOTT Kft., this exhibition was not only a professional event, but also a real source of inspiration, from which we can draw ideas and directions in the long term. We are confident that the experience gained here will help us offer even better solutions to our partners in the future.
