Carado shows new 2026 motorhome range, layouts and interiors

German manufacturer, Carado, has launched its 2026 motorhome line-up with three all-new and updated models. 

Headlining the announcement are the new V347 and T328 models, along with a revised version of the popular T135.

Carado is an entry-level motorhome and campervan brand within the Erwin Hymer Group, owned by US-based giant, Thor Industries. The brand is positioned to offer practical, value-focused vehicles for newcomers and budget-conscious buyers.

New clever bed system in V347

The standout addition to the Carado range is the Carado V347, which introduces the innovative new Clever-Lift bed system as an option in addition to the two fixed singles in the rear. Mounted to the side wall in the front lounge, the fold-down bed can be lowered on struts to hover over the seating area, offering a space-saving sleeping solution without blocking the vehicle’s entrance. 

When not in use, the bed folds flat against the wall, preserving full standing height at the front of the vehicle. The lounge area can also be optionally converted into an extra bed, giving the V347 a total sleeping capacity of up to four.

Other features in the V347 include the Vario Bathroom, with pivoting shower wall, and a 137-litre fridge/freezer.

New model: T328

The T328 is based on the existing T338 floorplan but features updates. Key changes include a narrow-profile 137-litre refrigerator to save space, and the option to add a fifth travel seat – without increasing external dimensions or compromising bed length. 

Like other semi-integrated models in the range, the T328 is available with an optional drop-down bed above the lounge area.

Updated model: T135

The T135, a long-standing Carado model known for its compact dimensions and French bed layout, has been updated for 2026 with the addition of an optional drop-down bed for the first time. 

This upgrade allows the model to sleep up to four people, making it more versatile for families or groups without sacrificing manoeuvrability.

Connectivity on the road

Across the 2026 range, Carado is also introducing an optional mobile internet module, offering users a more stable connection while travelling. 

This feature is designed to support navigation, streaming, and remote work while on the road.

The 2026 updates will be rolled out across Europe in the coming months, with UK availability through authorised Carado dealers. Details of pricing and UK spec will be available later in the year.
