leisure - Motorhome in high demand as in the Corona time

Despite the Corona-Pandemic, there is still high demand for Motorhomes. The industry association CIVD reported 45,344 new registrations in the first half of the year. This is 9.3% more than in the same period last year and only about 7% less than in the record year 2021.

Back then, many people bought recreational vehicles for their holidays in the open air due to the strict contact restrictions. The strong demand, combined with supply chain issues, led to empty stocks and high prices. However, the offer has significantly expanded since then, according to the association. Larger models are increasingly in demand.

On the other hand, the classic caravan with 12,549 new registrations in the first half of the year saw a 2% lower demand than the previous year. The record sales figures from the Corona period are far behind us.

  1. Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, the traffic in Frankfurt am Main's streets might have decreased, but the interest in Motorhomes has not, with the CIVD reporting a 9.3% increase in registrations in the first half of the year compared to 2020.
  2. Planning a leisure journey across Germany in a Motorhome has become more popular, due in part to the flexibility it provides in terms of social distancing, which is still important for many people during the Coronavirus period.
  3. Despite the high demand for Motorhomes in Frankfurt, some potential buyers might find the prices prohibitively high due to supply chain issues and the scarcity of vehicles, making it difficult to find a suitable vehicle in stock.
  4. If you're thinking of embarking on a long journey in a Motorhome, Frankfurt is a great starting point, offering plenty of opportunities for exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of Germany.
