Everything Caravan & Camping was launched at this year’s European caravan and camping show—Caravan Salon at Dusseldorf, Germany 26 August – 4 September.
The platform is Europe’s new online marketplace targeting the growing outdoor, caravan, motorhome, and camping market estimated to be worth $50 billion.
The market saw growth in recent years due to the pandemic.

“Europe had nearly 300,000 motorhome and caravan sales last year alone, and we know Germany has had good early year results, that’s why we believe this is the right time for us to expand our Australian operations into Europe,” said Everything Caravan & Camping CEO and co-founder Paul Widdis.
“We are proud to be launching our new web site with co-founder, Kathrin Bischof, who heads our European operations at the Caravan Salon, a worldwide recognised show for our industry.”
“The advantage for European based businesses is that our Marketplacer platform gives individual manufacturers and suppliers the ability to upload details of their product offerings to the site and provide real-time views of stock availability. Customers can quickly locate the products they need and place orders for delivery,” Widdis said.
“With more Europeans choosing to holiday domestically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe the prospects for the outdoor, caravan, motorhome and camping sector remained very strong.”
Widdis said the platform will help customers who are keen to support their local European businesses but who may not be aware that some exist.
“It’s all about helping people to find and purchase the products they need to enhance their outdoor experiences and lifestyle.”
“With our technology platform we can provide Europeans with the latest caravan, camping and motorhome products and services.”
Site co-founder Kathrin Bischof said it was an exciting time for the industry as the pandemic is coming to an end.
“The caravan, motorhome and camping industry throughout Europe is very strong and as consumers return to the great outdoors in large numbers our Everything Caravan & Camping site is at their fingertips to get hold of the latest quality products on the market,” she said.
“We have a love of the outdoors, just as our consumers do, and we want to help them get the best holiday experience possible with our online products.”
