Bürstner Motorhomes

If you’re looking for a leading innovator in developing German RVs with a similar standing to Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz with German automobiles, the name Bürstner stands out.

Bürstner's debut recreational vehicle, the Delfin caravan, quickly gained popularity among European caravanners. Its quality construction and innovative design details set it apart from competitors.

The original Delfin featured innovation, quality and ease of ownership — company hallmarks fully reinforced when Bürstner entered the motorhome sector in 1986. Not long after, Bürstner revolutionised motorhome design by releasing the world’s first semi-integrated model.

The innovations kept coming — with pioneering drop-down beds and double floors in motorhomes. More recently, there’s the space-expanding inflatable alcove above the cab of some models, and Bürstner became one of the first RV manufacturers to put a fully electric campervan into series production.

Bürstner isn’t a motorhome maker prepared to rest on its rich history or laurels. In this blog, we highlight nine reasons why Bürstner owners are so loyal and why the brand's reputation continues to be a magnet for those who aspire to own one.

While at first glance the Bürstner Lyseo TD 736 might resemble one of many universal European motorhomes from the outside, a closer look quickly reveals several points of difference and a range of unique features inside, Paul Owen of Motorhomes, Caravans and Destinations Magazine reports.

The Lyseo TD 690 G sits mid-pack for length in Bürstner’s glam-packed Harmony Line range, with three shorter models below it. Yet it’s still such a sweet thing to drive, despite the slight increase in longitudinal real estate, says Paul Owen.

How does Bürstner fit four beds, a liveable lounge, a large garage, and all the mod-cons into a motorhome measuring 7.49 metres long? Paul Owen samples the clever features of the Lyseo TD 727 G Harmony Line model.

Bürstner has built a reputation for innovation over its fifty year history — from the incredibly popular drop down bed to the space saving vario washroom.

Gaining a restful night’s sleep on the road is vital for being able to do what you want to do the next day. However, time spent preparing your bed in the evening, and then dismantling it before breakfast, can zap your energy levels before your day even begins.

German motorhome manufacturer Bürstner have always been a modern, sophisticated company with a desire to innovate — and by creating their drop down beds, they exceeded expectations.

In this article, we’ll explain the background behind Bürstner’s drop down bed while also outlining its groundbreaking design and substantial benefits.

It’s not often I get the time to conduct a long-term, in-depth review of a motorhome. But with the country open to travelling once again, my wife Jill and I managed to secure a Wilderness motorhome (a Bürstner Lyseo IT590) from Wilderness Motorhome Rentals and head away for a 19-day trip from Auckland to the South Island and back.

Bürstner’s Lyseo Harmony Line picked up another win at the 2020 German Innovation Awards - fitting recognition for a motorhome manufacturer whose innovation has led the pack for decades.
