The fair occupies a substantial footprint, spanning a gross area of 13,500 square meters. It hosts a curated selection of middle and upper-class models from leading European brands, giving attendees a hands-on glimpse of design, engineering, and craftsmanship. In addition to brand-new arrivals, the venue features semi-new and rental caravans to suit a range of budgets and travel goals. An area dedicated exclusively to camping caravanning showcases a comprehensive suite of amenities and services that appeal to enthusiasts who value a lifestyle in close touch with nature.
Organizers anticipate strong turnout with projections of more than 100 exhibitors and around 16,000 visitors across the weekend. The fairgrounds are expected to experience high foot traffic as families, hobbyists, and professionals explore the latest vehicles and gear, while exhibitors take advantage of networking opportunities and live demonstrations that bring the caravan world to life.
Throughout the weekend, the venue will serve as a hub for hands-on demonstrations, product launches, and expert-led sessions that help visitors compare features, performance, and value. The event aims to be both a marketplace and an information portal for buyers, sellers, and curious travelers alike, reinforcing the caravan community as a vibrant, shared culture with practical, real-world appeal.
