Lots of leisure time fun at one glance: the caravan sector at CMT <strong>2014</strong> has grown by<br />

an entire exhibition hall. For visitors this means even more first-hand information.<br />

year was painfully felt by the German<br />

manufacturers of motorhomes and<br />

caravans. Despite all this, the German<br />

Caravan Industry Association (CIVD)<br />

was slightly optimistic in the last<br />

quarter of 2013. “We were finally able<br />

to record continuous growth figures<br />

in a difficult economic environment, in<br />

Hans-Karl Sternberg. The German recreational<br />

vehicle sector had already<br />

reported good third quarter figures.<br />

The contributory factor here was mainly<br />

cent compared with the previous year.<br />

The number of caravans sold rose<br />

by 1.3 per cent in August compared<br />

to the same month the previous year.<br />

and the Best Marque <strong>2014</strong> will be<br />

opinion of Kai Feyerabend, Managing<br />

Director and publisher of promobil<br />

and CARAVANING, it is the “most<br />
