Stand types

Which stand type fits your presence at CARAVAN SALON?

Depending on vehicle size, product range, consultation intensity and desired brand impact, different stand formats may be suitable. We advise you on the solution that fits your space, budget, visitor routing, exhibit logistics and sales objectives.

Row stand

One open side. Cost-efficient for focused accessory, technology, outdoor or service offerings with clearly guided consultations.

Corner stand

Two open sides. Useful for greater visibility when vehicles, equipment variants, accessory walls or consultation islands need to be visible from several visitor routes.

End stand

Three open sides. Strong for brands with several vehicle models, theme areas or product lines that require an open, high-traffic presentation.

Block stand / Island

Four open sides, freestanding in the hall. Ideal for large branded environments, vehicle fleets, premium presentations, live demos, dealer meetings and intensive product consultation.

The trade fair

About CARAVAN SALON 2026

CARAVAN SALON 2026 will take place from 28 August to 6 September 2026 at Messe Düsseldorf. The event is regarded as the world’s largest trade fair for motorhomes and caravans and as the world-leading trade fair for mobile travel. 

The focus is on motorhomes, caravans, campervans, premium vehicles, Travel & Nature, Equipment & Outdoor as well as Technology & Components. The fair therefore covers vehicles, accessories, technical components, camping equipment, travel offers and outdoor experiences in a broad experiential environment. 

For exhibitors, this means that the stand must stage large exhibits safely, enable consultation processes for very different visitor groups and make products emotionally tangible. Robust stand areas, clear visitor routing, inviting consultation zones, vehicle logistics and a design that connects brand, product benefits and the feeling of travel are particularly important.

Sustainability

Exhibition stand construction that lives on after the event

Our clickwand system was developed in 2007 as a sustainable alternative to the throwaway culture in exhibition stand construction. The modular elements can be reused as often as required; they are stored after each use and can be flexibly re-deployed. With a lifespan of over 10 years, they combine sustainability, efficiency and long-term cost-effectiveness.

  • 80% less waste than with traditional timber stand construction
  • Re-use of walls, counters, lighting elements and decorations
  • Storage of your stand elements with us – ready to go for the next trade fair
  • Short routes from Cologne to Düsseldorf, modular stand planning and bundled exhibit logistics reduce transport effort and make on-site adjustments easier during build-up and the fair
