Carthago Reisemobilbau GmbH

Founded in 1979 in Ravensburg, Germany, Carthago Reisemobilbau GmbH develops and manufactures premium motorhomes for the European leisure-vehicle market. The company’s range spans fully integrated A-Class and semi-integrated coachbuilt vehicles, with model families including the C1-tourer, C2-tourer, chic c-line, chic e-line, chic s-plus and liner-for-two.

Carthago combines vehicle engineering, interior design, cabinetry, visualization and production within its motorhome-development process. Its pre-development work uses digital workflows including Rhino 3D surface modeling and real-time Enscape rendering to create photorealistic visualizations and virtual-reality prototypes. The company also provides vehicle configuration, customer consultation, factory customer care, maintenance, crash repair and genuine-parts logistics.

Construction and design

Its proprietary Premium DNA emphasizes lightweight, wood-free body construction with dual-sided aluminium sandwich walls. Other supported engineering features include hail-resistant GRP roofs, rot-proof GRP underfloors, thermal-bridge-free construction, an integrated climate-storage double floor and AL-KO low-frame chassis integration. Interior concepts pair ergonomic living layouts with high-end joinery and yacht-inspired design.

Manufacturing network

The business moved its headquarters and primary German manufacturing activity to Carthago City in Aulendorf during 2012–2013. This campus combines executive and administrative functions, pre-development, customer service, a showroom and production of flagship luxury series.

Carthago’s manufacturing network also includes Slovenian production operations in Odranci and Ormož. Odranci is the group’s volume-production hub for core motorhome series, while the Ormož facility opened in 2023 to produce campervan lines. Vehicles are distributed through a network of more than 250 certified dealerships across Europe and international markets.

The company operates within the Carthago Group, which also includes the distinct Malibu brand and Slovenian manufacturing entity CARTHAGO proizvodnja avtodomov d.o.o.
