Carado model year 2026

9 July, 2025 - Carado is launching the 2026 model year with intelligent innovations. In both the campervan and motorhome segments, the brand is presenting new floor plans and equipment options that make every day mobile living even more versatile and comfortable.  Whether a compact all-rounder or a family-friendly space miracle: the new portfolio offers even more options for different travel needs.


CV541 pro: A unique layout concept for the Carado campervan series
The highlight in the campervan segment is the new CV541 pro floor plan. While sharing the same dimensions as the CV540, the interior concept has been completely redesigned. Inspired by the principle of self-conversion, the CV541 pro combines high functionality with a modern, clearly structured design. The driving and living areas are separated. A bench toilet with a folding sink makes efficient use of the available space. A permanently installed staircase with integrated storage compartments leads to the sleeping area in the pop-top roof. The concept is complemented by a spacious seating area on a platform in the rear with storage space underneath, as well as a tall, space-saving wardrobe with a slim design. Also new to the campervan segment is the optionally available solar panel module (TBCF 100WS), which supports self-sufficient travel – except for models with a pop-top roof.

New floor plans also for motorhomes: More choice, more variants
Carado is also expanding its range of motorhomes. The focus is on the further developed T135 floor plan and the new T328 and V347 models – the latter featuring a market-first interior.

V347: Unique Selling Point: Clever-Lift Bed                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            With the V347, Carado introduces a particularly versatile floor plan: The side-mounted Clever-Lift bed sets new standards in the compact motorhome segment and offers particularly space-saving sleeping solutions. When folded, it sits discreetly against the wall; if necessary, it can be folded down and hovered above the seating area – without obstructing the vehicle's entry area. Another advantage: when folded, the standing height in the front of the vehicle is maintained, which is particularly beneficial for taller people and creates a pleasant feeling of space. An additional advantage for those traveling with several people is that the seating area can optionally be converted into an additional sleeping area. With this optional extra, the sleeping capacity can be expanded to four.


T328: Optimised Interior Layout and Additional Seat
With the T328, Carado is expanding its portfolio with a new floor plan based on the proven T338 – but with targeted optimisations in detail. The compact, integrated, narrower refrigerator offers a generous volume of 137 Liters despite its space-saving design, allowing for convenient storage. The adapted interior layout allows for the optional integration of a fifth seat – without changing the vehicle length or restricting the bed length. Like all Carado semi-integrated models, the T328 is also available with a fold-down bed as an option.


T135: Compact Classic with a New Upgrade
The popular floor plan with a French bed has been enhanced with a functional upgrade: For the first time, the model is available with an optional fold-down bed. This means the T135 now offers comfortable accommodation for up to four people. A real added value for anyone looking to combine compact exterior dimensions with additional interior versatility.


Conclusion: Design, technology, and comfort – for modern demands.
With the 2026 model year, Carado offers a well-thought-out further development of its portfolio. New floor plans, clever use of space, and updated classic models offer more options for different travel styles. The expanded floor plan portfolio is now complemented by enhanced connectivity: An optional mobile internet module for the vehicles provides a stable connection on the go, whether for navigation, streaming, or remote work.
