Camper of the Year 2026: these award-winning models set the standard
At the beginning of 2026, numerous motorhomes were once again awarded the prestigious title Camper of the Year. Not by a single organization, but by several authoritative bodies across Europe: specialist media, consumer organizations, and independent trade show juries. This results in a rich and nuanced view of the market. Below, you’ll find a clear overview of the main winners and what this recognition means for you as a motorhome buyer.
BÜRSTNER SIGNATURE SPT 7.0: the undisputed winner!
The Bürstner Signature takes home no fewer than two gold awards!
- Best semi-integrated motorhome over €80,000 – Mobicar
- Camper of the Year 2026 – ANWB & NKC
The Bürstner Signature stands for luxury and customization. The jury particularly praised its exceptional configurability, driving comfort thanks to the AL-KO chassis, and refined finish. Space is used to the fullest through flexible, movable furniture elements, an innovative bathroom concept, high-quality materials, and smart ergonomics.
This shows that buyers in the top segment increasingly prioritize customization and driving experience over sheer size or power.

KNAUS VAN TI: Semi-integrated motorhomes up to €75,000 – Promobil
The most competitive category of the Promobil awards saw a new winner in 2026. The Knaus Van TI claimed first place with an impressive increase of 15.3%.
This indicates that the Van TI performs particularly well among experienced motorhome users who carefully balance everyday usability, driving comfort, and price awareness.
ADRIA SONIC: Integrated motorhomes p to €95,000 – Promobil
In 2026, Adria pushed Weinsberg off the top spot with 25.2% of the votes. Its winterproof construction and well-thought-out layout clearly appealed to readers.
This highlights that reliability and year-round usability are becoming increasingly important, even outside the absolute luxury segment.
ITINEO JC740: Best integrated motorhome up to €100,000 – Mobicar
The Itineo JC740 was awarded as the best family-friendly integrated motorhome with an excellent price-quality ratio. The electrically adjustable twin beds and generous living space were decisive factors.
This shows that integrated motorhomes can be both accessible and family-oriented without sacrificing a sense of luxury.
NIESMANN+BISCHOFF ARTO & ISMOVE
The Niesmann + Bischoff Arto claimed first place in the category integrated motorhomes above €95,000, awarded by Promobil. As in 2025, the Arto remains the undisputed market leader in the highest segment, securing 21.5% of the votes.
Notably, the iSmove, from the same manufacturer, also earned a place on the podium.
This dual recognition confirms Niesmann + Bischoff’s status as a benchmark in the luxury motorhome segment. The brand succeeds in excelling both in the absolute top tier and in a more compact, lightweight approach to luxury — a rare combination.
NIESMANN+BISCHOFF FLAIR
In the absolute top class of liners, there has been no doubt for many years. In 2026, the Niesmann + Bischoff Flair was voted Best Liner for the eleventh (!!!) consecutive time by the readers of Promobil. With an impressive 42.4% of the votes, the model further extended its lead.
Eleven consecutive wins are exceptional in a constantly evolving market. They demonstrate that the Flair is not a follower of trends, but a true reference against which other liners are measured.
This recognition highlights that reliability, well-engineered technology and long-term quality remain decisive in the highest segment — and that the Flair has consistently embodied these values for more than a decade.

FRANKIA TOGETHER A680: Best overcab motorhome over €80,000 – Mobicar
Frankia is, and remains, the only brand to feature a rear lounge with a wraparound seating area, immediately setting it apart from other luxury brands. Thanks to the overcab bed, you enjoy a comfortable sleeping area that never compromises your living space.

WESTFALIA KIPLING: Best mini camper over €70,000 – Mobicar
As the very first mini camper with a fixed bed, the new Kipling was already an eye-catcher—and this award now confirms it once again. It shows that Westfalia remains a benchmark name, and that even in the smallest motorhomes, sleeping comfort is a top priority for many campers.

Vanomobil, dealer of quality brands in Europe
Anyone reviewing the Camper of the Year 2026 overview will quickly notice something striking: a significant number of these award-winning models can be found at Vanomobil. And that is no coincidence.
At Vanomobil, the range is not curated based on trends or short-lived hypes, but on long-term quality, reliability, and real-world usability. Brands and models that consistently score highly in reader polls and jury evaluations year after year perfectly reflect this philosophy.
Awards from Promobil, ANWB/NKC, and Mobicar are not used by Vanomobil as mere marketing tools, but as an additional quality check. They confirm what years of hands-on experience have already shown: well-designed, solidly built motorhomes tailored to real travelers make a difference in the long run.
That’s why Vanomobil showrooms feature a remarkable number of models that not only look good on paper but are also externally recognized by users and experts alike.
Which motorhome awards exist?
- Promobil (Germany): a major annual reader survey conducted by one of Europe’s most influential motorhome magazines.
- ANWB / NKC (Netherlands): professional jury awards focusing on innovation, build quality, and practical usability.
- Mobicar (Belgium): Belgium’s leading motorhome trade fair launches the very first edition of the Caravan & Motorhome of the Year Awards in 2026. A jury of specialized journalists from Vlaamse Kampeertoerist and Pasar selected the most inspiring and innovative leisure vehicles, after which consumers chose the winners.
Together, these awards provide a reliable and broadly supported assessment of the best motorhomes of the moment. While the title says a lot, it never tells the whole story. The true added value lies in how well a motorhome matches your travel style. At Vanomobil, you can not only view these award-winning models, but also compare them, experience them, and discuss them with advisors who know the market inside and out. This way, an award becomes not an endpoint, but the starting point for a well-considered choice.
