At the Abenteuer&Allrad 2026 there are fresh faces again. The new exhibitors are, as always, a colourful mix. There’s clever camper tech, roof tents, living boxes, off-road tyres, cooking equipment and even off-road tours for people who don’t need an off-roader at all. Here you’ll find out who’s new this year.
4×4 Exploring GmbH: Stand T05
4×4 Exploring has been running guided tours worldwide for 26 years and offers a course programme for off-road fans and world travellers. The Swiss company also imports the carbon winches from Australia: IP68 waterproof, a lifetime warranty on the gearbox, five years on the electrics, and the lightest in their class. The recovery gear in the shop is first-rate too. The breaking loads are based on the specifications for ground pull from the forestry sector. The ready-made recovery sets in particular give winch beginners confidence.
At the fair, 4×4 Exploring shows its latest offering: a travel vehicle on a pick-up base with bodywork from the Australian specialist TLX. The Swiss are the general dealer for the DACH region and supply for all common pick-up models. The canopy shrugs off 600 kilos of roof load but stays light. So axle loads and gross weight cause no trouble with the overlander concept. Lead time: four months after delivery of the base vehicle, many bodies are available from stock. At the stand is the HILUX GR2 as a fully equipped travel off-roader, a concept they’ve tested together with TLX on demanding routes.

Adventure Trailer: Stand C12
Adventure Trailer sells and hires out off-road trailers and is a licensed authorised dealer of the CRAWLER brand. Anyone who wants to try a trailer first can also hire one here. They bring three vehicles to the fair.
The TRC 458i is an off-road caravan with an aluminium body. The ground clearance is high, the suspension is independent. Up to four people sleep under the pop-top roof, cooking is done inside or out. The permitted gross weight is 1,800 kilos. The ALP 560 combines a retro look with modern off-road technology in a light aluminium construction. The large rear opening makes it flexible: bikes or motorcycles simply come along. And the CMP 190 is a pick-up cabin for expedition vehicles. Despite the compact dimensions it offers sleeping space and an outdoor kitchen, plus a pop-top roof. The cabin stays light and fully off-road-capable.

AirPathSolutions: Stand M23
AirPathSolutions builds electric air valves for the duct systems of auxiliary heaters. With them you direct the warm or cold air exactly to where you need it in the camper right now. It’s controlled via switch or rotary dial, with the rotary dial even infinitely variable. No more Bowden cables, no jamming linkage.
Three variants are in the range: SWITCH, SPLIT and FLEX. With the FLEX you split the heat infinitely across two areas, for example bathroom and interior, or you use part to heat the boiler. The SPLIT is suited to setups like “in winter, partly heat the rear garage too, in summer fully into the interior”. And the SWITCH redirects the hot air completely, for instance from the interior to the outside or into the cab when you want to push the cold out in winter. Practical for ventilation in summer too, because you can target the circulation at individual areas.

Auto-Form Sonderfahrzeuge: Stand ZL04
Auto-Form has built special vehicles in the emergency-services sector since 1974, that is, ambulances, fire and emergency vehicles. That includes its own sandwich-panel production, with which they’ve long supplied other industries too, from ambulance makers to motorhome builders. Now the company is launching its own travel line, the Auto-Form ExplorerLine, and celebrates its fair premiere at the Abenteuer & Allrad with it.
The approach behind it is clever, because what works in everyday ambulance use easily holds up in the expedition vehicle too. The boxes and bodies are crash-test-certified, plus profiles, doors, windows, locks and seals straight from special-vehicle construction. So components that take a real beating daily in emergency vehicles and still stay sealed. The equipment is modular and can be configured. New or used vehicles are converted, and on request there’s mobile service on site.
Alongside that, Auto-Form presents a light mobile lighting system based on a cabled lighting drone. It’s dimmable and delivers up to 13,000 lumens, plenty of light for everything that comes up in the evening at camp or during a repair on the road. Originally developed for rescue operations, but just as usable for a night-time recovery off-road or simply for proper brightness at the pitch.

Butternut Box: Stand T20
Dog food at an off-road fair? Yes, and it makes more sense than you’d think at first glance. After all, many of us travel with a dog. And in the camper, food is a bit of a thing: dry food is practical, but it’s also not what you’d put on your own plate.
Butternut Box offers freshly cooked dog food from meat and vegetables in food quality. Gently cooked, flash-frozen and portioned to size, it comes straight to your home. It’s delivered in a flexible subscription that you can adjust at any time. The whole thing was founded by two friends, Kev and Dave, after they noticed how much better Dave’s dog did on freshly cooked food. By now they’re a certified B Corp and donate a meal to a dog in need for every new subscription. At stand T20 you’ll find out how the subscription works and what recipes there are.
You’ll find more info on the homepage: https://www.butternutbox.com/de
Camper Jarvis (Jarvis Labs GmbH): Stand M23
Twelve switches on the wall, none labelled, and you just want to turn on the light. Sound familiar? Rico Tank knows it too, he’s done his own conversion three times. So in Konstanz on Lake Constance, together with co-founder Arindam Mahanta, he developed a wireless control system that replaces all the switch madness with a single rotary knob.
The SmartKnob with an AMOLED display and LED ring is the central control unit for the whole van. Behind it is a whole ecosystem of modules. Ampy distributes the power across six channels with electronic fuses. Volty automatically recognises over 500 energy devices on the market, from Victron through Votronic to Ective. Fluidy takes care of the water, measures to within one percent, detects leaks and switches off the pump before it runs dry. Heaty controls the heating, Thermy takes over air conditioning and fridge, Lighty regulates the lighting.
What’s exciting for travellers is the philosophy behind it. The system runs completely offline, no cloud obligation, no smartphone needed. The modules are installed decentrally, which saves cable and weight. The standby consumption is under 0.3 watts per module. In long self-sufficient phases that makes a measurable difference. Added to that is active protection against water damage and deep discharge.
The system has been in field testing since April 2024 and comes to market from the end of Q2/2026. At the Abenteuer & Allrad, Camper Jarvis is on a shared stand together with PureFlexx Camper, FlowCamper, PerfectVan, Xtremobility and AirPathSolutions.

Camper Schmiede GmbH: Stand T02
Since 2020 the Camper Schmiede has built individual conversions for panel vans and expedition vehicles, complete or in parts, depending on what you need.
What makes the company special is the line-up of the team, because here vehicle engineers, master car mechanics, master metalworkers and master joiners work together under one roof. That means, from the first sketch to the finished conversion, everything comes from a single source. No external trades, no coordination loops between three firms passing the responsibility back and forth. So they develop and build their projects holistically, from the design to the last screw in the interior.
At the fair they present a current Unimog project, together with FAS and RKF Bleses. The exciting part: you can experience the two conversion variants in advance with VR goggles. So you put on the goggles and stand in the middle of the living space before the first piece of wood is even cut. Anyone who’s ever had a travel vehicle converted knows that’s worth its weight in gold. Because plans on paper are one thing, the feeling of space in the finished Mog is another.
Alongside that they present the Soul Float, a free-floating hillside lounge. It sounds like a gimmick at first, but it’s exactly what the Camper Schmiede stands for. Creative ideas, technically cleanly thought-out and solidly executed by hand.
You’ll find more info on the homepage: https://www.camper-schmiede.de
Carryboy Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG: Stand ZK06
Carryboy from Krefeld has specialised in pick-up accessories since 2006. Hardtops, load-bed covers and chassis conversions for the usual suspects: Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, VW Amarok, Nissan Navara. Plus all the extras like tool boxes, car safes and tubs. And for some time now the family firm has been extending its portfolio with off-road products like living boxes, roof tents and pick-up fitted kitchens.
What Carryboy does differently is the service approach, because here you’re not simply waved off after the purchase. Customers get an active after-sales service in which Carryboy calls after the purchase and asks whether everything fits. On top of that there’s a ten-year spare-parts guarantee, which is pretty unique in the industry.
At the fair they show a combination of several products. At the centre is a load-bed pickup, fitted with the Nomad hardtop, a camping kitchen, a pop-top roof tent and various lights. Alongside there’s a small selection of load-bed covers and a few small parts to handle. Just right for anyone who wants to convert their pick-up into a travel vehicle without putting the really big living box on top straight away.
You’ll find more info on the homepage: https://www.carryboy.de
E1NFACH UG: Stand F08
E1NFACH too has made it its mission to considerably simplify the electrics in the camper. With the E1NS there’s a control centre that brings light, water, fridge, heating and sensors together in one app. Added to that are automations, LTE, GPS and remote functions. So you have the whole van practically in your trouser pocket, whether you’re at the pitch or sitting in the office.
What distinguishes E1NFACH from classic panels is the approach behind it, because here no smart-home solution is stuffed into the van. Hardware and software are developed specially for mobile use, with a focus on easy retrofitting and everyday operation. So exactly what counts in the self-sufficient travel vehicle, where the tech simply has to work, even when the next service point is two thousand kilometres away.
The system is aimed at self-builders, van lifers and professional vehicle builders. At the fair you can look at the whole thing live and go through with the developers how the E1NS can be integrated into your build.
You’ll find more info on the homepage: https://www.e1nfach.de
FjällVila: Stand F04
November, rain, three degrees. Most roof tents are no fun any more then. FjällVila builds for exactly these conditions, because the tents are designed for Scandinavian conditions. Rugged, durable and with fully blackout materials, so that even up in the far north in June at three in the morning you can still sleep and aren’t hauled out of bed by the midnight sun.
At the fair they show their hardcover and hybrid roof tents, including the UppVärme and UppTäcka collections. So anyone who plans to unpack their roof tent not just in high summer but also in the shoulder months or in the middle of winter should drop by here.
You’ll find more info on the homepage: https://fjallvila.nl/
FOOTBAAG: Stand ZK18
FOOTBAAG has taken on one of the most annoying problems in the camper: the slipping duvet and cold feet at night. The sleeping system combines the advantages of a duvet and a sleeping bag, specially cut for the often narrow and short sleeping areas in motorhomes. An integrated foot pocket keeps the feet warm, and thanks to the well-thought-out shape the duvet stays where it belongs. It sounds banal at first, but it’s exactly one of those small problems that can really get on your nerves on a multi-week tour.
The whole thing is made in a workshop in the Black Forest, with natural materials like lyocell and organic cotton. That gives you a pleasant sleeping climate and a durable product, which matters in continuous use on trips. Especially practical: the FOOTBAAG manages without a separate cover, is completely washable and can go in the dryer.
More on that at: https://footbaag.de
Freedom-Customnice: Stand Q04
Flo from Freedom-Customnice has known the Abenteuer & Allrad for years. So far, though, only as a visitor. This year he’s there for the first time with his own stand, and that’s a nice circle closing.
Since 2018 Flo has been kitting out VW buses, above all with self-sufficiency tech, heaters, solar systems and pop-top roofs. As a partner of TigerExped, Terranger and Reimo he fits their complete range, plus products from Wattstunde as well as wheels and suspension from Twin-Monotube-Project. So anyone who wants to convert their T5, T6 or T6.1 towards a motorhome is in the right place here.
At the fair Flo shows his own furniture concept called “Bruno”, built into the new VW Transporter with 4Motion drive. The concept has a few features you don’t see every day. A permanently installed Kildwick separating toilet with a specially developed exhaust-air system, for example. Plus a fridge drawer and, as Flo himself says, lots of loving detail work.
You’ll find everything else on the homepage: https://www.freedombullis.de/
GN Espace: Stand ZD12
GN Espace builds cooking appliances originally developed for yachts and offshore use. Marine quality, then, built for movement, vibration and rough conditions. And those exact properties are at least as much in demand in the expedition vehicle as on the high seas.
At the A&A the English company shows its range in Germany for the first time. Included are smart induction hobs, compact combi ovens and multifunction cooking systems, all electric and designed for the cramped conditions in the vehicle. So anyone considering throwing out the gas system completely, or not fitting one in the first place, will find an interesting playground here.
The highlight at the stand is the Alize Gastro Grill, according to the manufacturer the world’s first electric grill with IPX5 certification. In plain terms: it’s allowed out in the open, even when the weather doesn’t play along. A real alternative to the gas plate if your expedition vehicle relies on electricity instead of flame.
For everyone who wants to read up more deeply, there’s the info in German too: https://www.gn-espace.com/de
Infanta 4×4 Europe: Stand F02
Infanta 4×4 has built off-road vehicles in South Africa for over 25 years, and for three years there’s been an official Europe representation in Germany. They bring two product lines to the fair.
The Inkunzi is a monocoque cabin of fibreglass for single-cab pick-ups like the Toyota Land Cruiser 79, the Hilux or the Isuzu D-Max. The cabin is permanently installed and decoupled from the chassis via spring packs, so that nothing tears even in the toughest terrain. The concept is consistently outdoor, because the kitchen, shower and most functional areas deliberately sit outside. Anyone who keeps the interior minimal and prefers to spend life outside anyway will find exactly the right philosophy here. Practical side effect: the compact construction fits in a 20-foot container, which noticeably reduces the shipping price.
Added to that are the Enkulu trailers, three models of aluminium with 32 millimetre insulation on a galvanised steel chassis. Rugged, light and fitted with slide-out concepts that, in this form, have so far been rare to find on the European market. Plus pop-top roofs, self-made carbon flaps and well-thought-out interior solutions that make astonishingly much living space out of little volume.
Thorsten Dumpe from the Europe representation says: “Our vehicles are not only extremely functional, they also look damned sexy.” We can’t confirm that yet, but we’ll definitely take a look.
Anyone who wants to go deeper: https://www.infanta4x4.de
Land Lover Tours: Stand T32
Land Lover Tours offers guided self-drive tours through Australia, in the classic Land Rover Defender. So the guests are at the wheel themselves, in a small group of a maximum of three vehicles, while the route planning, organisation, catering and on-site support are taken over completely. Anyone who’s ever toyed with the thought of driving through the Outback but hasn’t quite dared to take on self-organisation, permits, water management and breakdown help in the wilderness, gets a relaxed way to experience the whole thing anyway.
To start, there are two tours in the programme. Beach, Bush & Beyond is the more compact variant with ten days and around 1,000 kilometres, a mix of coast, bushland and national parks. Colours of Australia goes deeper in, about two weeks and 3,000 kilometres, from red dust over blue water to remote tracks. From two vehicles and four people, individual private tours can also be booked, tailored to themes like photography, wildlife or particularly a lot of off-road.
At the fair, André and Karin are in Bad Kissingen for the first time and look forward to anyone who drops by.
A small note: the website only goes live on 28 May 2026. So anyone who wants to take a look before the fair has to be a little patient.
It’s worth a look from 28 May: https://www.landlovertours.com
Maxxis International: Stand ZD03
Maxxis is at the Abenteuer & Allrad for the first time, and we’re looking forward to it. We’ve been running the tyres ourselves for a while, the RAZR AT on our Hilux and the Creepy Crawler on the 90 Defender. Both have proven themselves in everyday off-road use, so we can say first-hand that a stop at the stand is worth it.
The focus is on the RAZR AT-S, an all-terrain tyre with an M+S symbol, also available with a C marking for campers and vans. The sizes 255/55 R18C and 235/65 R16C are designed for heavy vehicles and so are exactly what’s on the requirement list of a fully loaded motorhome.
Alongside, Maxxis shows the extreme tyres Trepador, Creepy Crawler and Mudzilla, the candidates for everyone who’s more likely to be found off-road than on the motorway.
Under the sister brand CST there are additionally the Sahara AT2, the Sahara MT2 and the Mud King to see. ATV and quad riders get their money’s worth too, the matching tyres are at the stand as well. In total Maxxis carries over 5,000 different items, most of them available from stock and at the dealer within 12 to 24 hours.
It’s worth a look: https://www.maxxis.de
NEOMOTUS: Stand T34
In North America, vertical bike racks have been standard for years; in Europe the design hasn’t caught on so far. NEOMOTUS wants to change that and shows its Vertical Bike Racks, the MOTUS VR4 and the MOTUS VR5, at the fair for the first time. The idea came about in 2023 as part of a bachelor’s thesis, and since then it’s become a pretty serious product.
The decisive step for the European market came in 2024 with a bolted joint connection designed for extremely high loads. NEOMOTUS has applied for a European patent for it this year. It was tested to DIN 75303 and additionally in real off-road use over thousands of kilometres, fully loaded. Exactly what you want from a carrier that dangles at the rear while you race over washboard tracks.
The team is especially proud of the crash test with a 120-kilo payload. According to NEOMOTUS, no bike rack with four e-bikes has passed it so far. If that’s true, it’s quite something. Definitely take a look at it for yourself at the stand.
Why you transport bikes vertically at all and what advantages that brings, NEOMOTUS explains in its Tech Talk on the website. At stand T34 you can have the system shown to you live.
You’ll find more info on the homepage: https://www.neomotus.de
NORIQA GmbH: Stand F08
NORIQA plans and builds expedition vehicles, world-travel vehicles and self-sufficient travel vehicles. Not, however, as a classic conversion workshop, but as a systemic project partner. That means: NORIQA accompanies you from the first vehicle decision to the finished overall technical solution. Which base vehicle, which concepts, which energy supply, which bodies, all from a single source.
The focus is on rugged and durable vehicle concepts, maximum self-sufficiency and practicality as well as intelligent energy and vehicle technology. A focus of their own is highly functional sub-frame constructions for expedition vehicles and long-distance motorhomes. So exactly what’s gladly underestimated in the build, but decisively determines stability and longevity.
At the stand, NORIQA also shows sustainable insulation concepts with spray cork and sheep’s wool, an exciting alternative to classic materials. Anyone who’s ever wondered how the ecology side actually looks in the expedition vehicle will find interesting answers here.
On the shared stand are also E1NFACH UG with their E1NS control centre, IDN Service GmbH with interface solutions for BUS systems and battery-direct GmbH with the SNETTBOX as a scalable battery system. A good stop, then, if you want to work through modern vehicle technology compactly once.
The website is still under construction, but you’ll get a first impression all the same: https://noriqa.de
Perfect Van GmbH: Stand M23
Some may know Perfect Van already from the CMT. The company has made practical camping products for years, like sink extensions, washing-up inserts and its own separating toilet. At the start of 2026 the new Perfect Indie separating toilet was presented in Stuttgart, and since May 2026 the mobile version is available. It comes in two heights, 45 or 38 centimetres, with a 7 or 5 litre urine tank. Practical for self-builders who want to do without emptying via the service flap.
The actual highlight, though, stands next to it: the Perfect FOX. A concept van meant to serve as the basis for an exclusive small series. FOX stands for “Freedom on X”. The vehicle is at the same time the rolling test station for their own products, because what really works in everyday life only shows in real use. Developed from practice, built for practice.
You’ll find all the rest here: https://www.perfect-van.de
Punii Adventure GmbH: Relax & Connect Area
Punii has a founding story that not every roof tent manufacturer can show. Founder Eva was an exchange student in New Zealand in 2004 and got to know the culture of the Māori there. “Puni” means tent or camp in the Māori language, so a place of rest and arrival. Years later, a roof tent brand of its own grew out of that, started in 2025 with the Moenga folding-roof-tent series.
Punii brings two new products to the fair. The toa S is a hardshell roof tent with an ABS shell and a seven-centimetre-thick memory foam mattress. Trying it out is expressly encouraged, because with a roof tent the mattress decides everything that comes after. If you don’t have a bad back after a night, it was the right tent.
Added to that is the Komaru 270, a free-standing 270-degree awning with integrated LED lighting. Practical, because it stands free and you don’t depend on trees or walls during set-up.
You’ll find more info here: https://www.punii.de
Schobert Touren: Stand T21
Off-road tours for ordinary production SUVs, that’s the idea of Schobert Touren. That’s rather unusual, because most guided off-road tours assume that you roll up with a kitted-out off-roader. At Schobert Touren you need no recovery gear, no snorkel and no lift. Dacia Duster, Suzuki Vitara, VW Tiguan, anything with all-wheel drive can come along. Just right, then, for beginners who want to get a taste of the off-road experience without digging deep into their pockets straight away.
The tours go through Croatia and Bosnia, past lost places, waterfalls and caves. In Bosnia there are even wild horses to see. People stay overnight together on campsites, which incidentally helps the atmosphere, because a group of participants quickly turns into a small travel community on a tour like this.
At the stand they’re raffling off a complete tour, so definitely drop by and fill in your ticket.
You’ll find all the rest here: https://www.schobert-touren.de
Snettbox (battery-direct GmbH): Stand F08
Snettbox is a new lithium-ion battery system from battery-direct GmbH, and the clincher lies in the plug-and-play approach. The box can be used as a direct replacement for lead, gel or AGM batteries, without you having to do much conversion in the vehicle. The existing wiring stays in, the chargers stay in, the technology simply carries on working. So anyone who doesn’t want to take apart half the build for a lithium upgrade has an elegant solution here.
The system is designed as multi-voltage and supports 12 to 48 volts at capacities between 125 and 1,000 amp-hours. It can be expanded at any time, because up to eight batteries communicate with each other via CAN. Thanks to plug connections with 16-square-millimetre cables, the classic cross-wiring with thick lines is no longer needed. You can even distribute the individual boxes at different points in the vehicle, because the cable lengths don’t have to be identical.
The Snettbox has a real advantage over LiFePO4 on the topic of state of charge. With classic lithium iron phosphate batteries, the voltage values lie very close together across the whole charge range. A reading of 13.2 volts can therefore mean 75 or 95 percent charge, you’re basically guessing. With the Snettbox you read the state of charge directly off the voltage. On long tours, when you want to know exactly how far you’ll still get, that’s really practical.
A Snettbox weighs 11.5 kilos at dimensions of 250 by 165 by 200 millimetres and works reliably down to -25 degrees, so it’s interesting for winter campers too. It’s compatible with Victron, Votronic and Mastervolt, plus there’s an app of its own. The 12V version starts at 1,290 euros.
On the shared stand F08, Snettbox is together with NORIQA, E1NFACH and IDN Service GmbH.

Thitronik GmbH: Stand M38
Thitronik builds security technology for motorhomes, made in Germany. The modular system can be put together as needed, because not everyone wants everything, but most want at least something. At the centre is the wireless alarm system WiPro III safe.lock. It protects the vehicle’s outer shell via wireless magnetic contacts on the openings, so you can sleep inside without having to deactivate the alarm. With the safe.lock variant the alarm arms directly with locking and unlocking via the vehicle key.
Added to that is the Pro-finder tracking system with geofencing. If your vehicle leaves a radius of 900 metres around the last location, you get a message on your phone. Up to ten mobile phones can be notified, and if you’ve additionally fitted a cut-off device, the engine can even be immobilised remotely in the event of theft.
On the subject of gas, the G.A.S.-pro III is a chapter of its own. The warner was the test winner in the gas-warner test of Reisemobil International in February 2025 and protects against knockout gases, propane, butane and carbon monoxide. It comes in two variants, plus you can retrofit an additional sensor for the respective other gas group. With that you’ve got everything covered at once, from leaky gas lines to knockout-gas attacks.
Also new in the range are the wireless smoke detector T.S.A. and the wireless water detector 868. The smoke detector is especially sensible if you charge e-bikes in the rear garage, and the water detector goes off before a small leak at the fresh-water tank becomes water damage throughout the whole build.

TMAT Europe: Stand M18
A drawer system on the load bed isn’t an option for everyone, often too expensive, too heavy or simply too bulky for what you actually need. TMAT offers a modular alternative from the USA here, now available in Europe for the first time.
The principle is simple and clever at the same time. Interlocking panels and strips form a smooth floor on the load bed onto which heavy equipment can simply be pushed. Adjustable and fixed blockers hold everything in place for the drive. No drilling, no tools, fitted in five minutes and out again just as fast. With that, the whole thing is also an exciting alternative to expensive bed slides and bulky storage boxes.
The system is intended for pick-ups, vans, UTVs and campers. At the stand is a RAM 1500 with a complete build, so you can see and try out live how it feels in practice. Plus the whole product range to see, that is, panels, strips, blockers, wheel cribs and accessories. Dave van der Rol, as the official Europe distributor, is at the stand in person and answers your questions.
Anyone who wants to go deeper: https://www.tmat.eu
TUFA GmbH: Stand T31
TUFA GmbH has run off-road driver training since 1974 and is thus among the pioneers in the scene. Founded by Martin Breuninger out of a passion for off-road vehicles and long-distance travel, run as a family business. On their own training ground they’ve taught since 2007, and anything with all-wheel drive: off-road vehicles, travel and expedition motorhomes, campers, commercial vehicles and emergency vehicles.
What makes TUFA special is the mix of their own ground and long-standing experience with the big players in the industry. As a recognised partner they work, among others, with the Mercedes-Benz Driving Events and the Hymer Driving Xperience, plus further partners from the travel and expedition sector. So the team of certified instructors not only knows how to drive, but also how to pass it on.
So anyone who’s ever considered really getting to know their own motorhome or off-road vehicle before the big tour is in good hands here. Because off-road driving is something you’d better learn on a protected training ground than somewhere between Morocco and Kyrgyzstan. At the fair stand you can have the current courses and dates shown to you.
It’s worth a look: https://www.mb-offroad.com
Vannado: Stand ZD22
Birch burl veneer in a camper. Ever heard of it? Neither had we until now. Vannado builds premium campervans on a MAN and Mercedes base and really lays it on in the interior. The birch burl veneer is rare, worked by hand, and the structure of the wood takes the leading role in the interior. That’s quite a statement against the eternal oak look you see in most premium campers.
They bring the current Karakorum 4×4 to the fair. The setup for outdoors is consistently designed for long tours into remote corners. Bilstein lift, Black Rhino Arsenal wheels with Loder tyres, plus homologated Lazer front headlights and Strands LED spots. The whole thing is complemented by expedition gear and modular cargo solutions, so exactly what you need beyond tarmac roads.
Each vehicle starts with one of the base models and is then configured to the customer’s wishes via their own layout and equipment catalogues. From the off-grid setup for weeks in the wilderness to the Europe tour with upmarket equipment, the scope is wide. Anyone who travels year-round and still values comfort and looks should take a look at the Karakorum from the inside.
More on that at: https://www.vannado.com
ZEISS: Stand M34
ZEISS is at the Abenteuer & Allrad for the first time, and the concept behind it is clever. Hunting optics meet overlanding, because the requirements overlap more than you’d think at first glance. Anyone who sits at camp early in the morning watching what’s about in the undergrowth, or who wants to judge from two kilometres away whether the track up ahead is still driveable, needs exactly the optics ZEISS has built for hunters for decades.
The SFL binoculars are the travel variant. Light, compact, they fit in the glovebox or in the daypack without you noticing. At the same time they deliver enough light intensity to still see properly at dusk. So exactly when the animals come out and you don’t really fancy handling heavy glass any more.
The Conquest HDX series is the more rugged sister. For daily use in the hunting ground, on the yard or out in the mountains, when the glass takes a knock too. High detail resolution, good contrast in changing light, a real all-round optic.
New in the range is the ZEISS Apia spotting scope for long distances. Compact, weatherproof and with high magnification, so you can judge from a safe distance whether a spot is suitable as camp or a route is still bearable.
ZEISS also shows the Secacam trail cameras, which send pictures directly to your phone via app. For example, if you want to know who’s creeping past camp while you’re out, or if you’re out in the hunting ground yourself. At the stand you can take everything in your hands and look through it.
