CARAVAN SALON 2026 set to showcase the future of mobile travel

CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf, the world’s largest caravanning trade show, is set to return this year, promising another major showcase of the latest trends shaping the future of mobile travel.

Running from 28th August to 6th September 2026, the event will once again bring together hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors from across the globe, highlighting everything from caravans and campervans to off-grid technology and travel destinations. 

The 2026 show will place a strong emphasis on innovation and changing travel habits. New themed areas are being introduced to help visitors navigate the huge exhibition more easily, including dedicated sections for off-road touring and rooftop tents, both areas that continue to grow in popularity among adventure-focused travellers. 

The event will span 15 halls at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre and feature motorhomes, touring caravans, campervans, accessories, technology, detachable units and outdoor equipment, alongside travel inspiration and campsite information from across Europe.

Stefan Koschke, Director of CARAVAN SALON, said the appeal of caravanning continues to grow as travellers look for more freedom and flexibility in how they holiday.

“Caravanning is becoming increasingly popular,” he explained. “It offers flexible breaks, spontaneous short trips or long journeys – and the freedom to tailor your holiday to your own preferences.”

Rising travel costs and ongoing economic uncertainty are encouraging more people to seek holidays that allow greater control over spending, while still offering comfort and adventure.

The exhibition is also expected to highlight the continued rise of self-sufficient and off-grid travel, with growing interest in compact touring setups, rooftop tents and outdoor-focused accessories.

As caravanning continues to boom, CARAVAN SALON’s 65th edition is expected to build on the success of 2025, which attracted more than 270,000 visitors.

Ticket sales start on 11th June and can be purchased here.
