August 8, 2011 - In the 2012 model year, Bürstner will be offering a total of 43 different floor plans in five caravan model series.
With a combined total of 27 different models, they exhibit the greatest variety in the product line-up. In the future all caravans will feature uniform Bürstner graphics with expressive colours and harmonious profiles, thus bolstering brand presence on the roads and campsites and leading to a marked recognition effect.
Up to four exterior colours
The Premio, Averso, Averso plus and Belcanto come in white with a hammered finish as standard. For the Averso, smooth metal panelling versions in white and silver are also available.

In addition to mint and silver in a hammered finish, the Averso plus is also available in the Jungle Edition with smooth metal panelling. The Belcanto can also be ordered in silver with a hammered finish as well as white or silver with smooth metal panelling. The basic Trecento model already features the opal paint option, although this caravan is also available in white with smooth metal panelling upon request.
Introducing twelve exclusive upholstery designs
Twelve exclusive upholstery designs are available to choose from in 2012, seven of which are new and give the interiors of Bürstner caravans an exclusive, cosy look and feel. The durable and soft upholstery theme Nova remains part of the range in the designs Amber, Rosso and Salsa, as do the leather options Strada and Eston.

The new “Geneva” upholstery is being offered as standard in the Premio model series, with “Coventry” setting new standards in the Averso and Averso plus. The Nova Amber option is standard in the Averso fifty. The Belcanto features the “Madeira” theme, while the Trecento is decked out in “Atlanta”.
All spruced up: the Premio
The designers and interior designers have devoted particular attention to the Premio. The product line-up features four new floor plans, thus rounding off the range in this model series. A practical change is the altered arrangement of the gas manifold, which has disappeared behind the cutlery drawer, yet can still be reached quickly and easily. The furniture design in a sen ash finish adorns the Premio even in the basic model, while all models feature the new awning light with LED technology for less energy consumption and better lighting. All Premio models from the new year now have a full 1.95 metres of interior headroom.

Moderately renovated: the Averso
Bürstner’s Averso product range now has a new interior look. The amaranth furniture finish creates a sense of cosiness, with new, solid handles and harmoniously shaped storage cabinet doors contributing to this as well. The 8-series Dometic refrigerators now have a curved door, while the new awning light with LED technology is now also part of the Averso’s standard features.

The benefits of extra space: the Averso plus
The plus in the Averso plus doesn’t refer to the length of the cabin, but to the extra berths on board. The idea of having a fold-down bed in a caravan was developed at Bürstner two years ago. It was designed for those campers who don’t necessarily need a large caravan, but are looking for a compact vehicle that offers a full-size, extra bed for two people – precisely what is found in the fold-down bed above the seating area, which can be lowered either manually or electrically (optional). In the Averso plus the amaranth furniture finish has replaced golden teak, with the curved door on the refrigerator and the LED awning lights being additional upgrades.

For the most sophisticated demands: Belcanto and Trecento
The two luxury caravans in the Bürstner model range are kicking off the new season with a few small changes. The Trecento’s new awning light and new standard exterior look in opal with smooth metal panelling are worth mentioning. Wooden slatted frames with an adjustable headboard for better reading comfort are now also available (except in floor plans with bunk beds). The wooden slatted frames are mounted into solid rubber supports. Both model series are available in eight different floor plans.

Better sleeping comfort in all caravans
In the 2012 season Bürstner is emphasising the use of cold-foam mattresses, since sleeping comfort continues to play an important role. This decision resulted from the initial evaluations of the customer advisory council, which Bürstner launched last year. Whether in an entry-level or luxury model, in the future all bunk beds will be equipped with high-quality foam mattresses, while top-quality cold-foam mattresses will guarantee comfort in fixed beds (option in the Premio). The single bed for two with a roll-up bed base is once again an option in all TL models. In just a matter of seconds, the roll-up bed base can be pulled out and the gap in the corridor closed with upholstered cushions. Two single beds can thus be transformed into a lavish berth measuring 2 x 2 m. Customers desiring this option must choose it when purchasing their Bürstner caravan as the single bed for two cannot be retrofitted.

Manoeuvring made easy: the Mover SE R
As an optional feature for the new model year, Bürstner has added an electrically operated manoeuvring system called Mover SE R to its range. Using a remote control, the caravan automatically rolls into the desired position simply and securely, even on low ground. The electric drive mechanism weighs 33 kilograms and can manoeuvre caravans weighing up to 2,000 kilograms. Installing the drive mechanism is simple, with no drilling into the drawbar required. The system can help to overcome inclines of up to 15% on campsites when used continuously, while 20% inclines – corresponding to the incline of wheel chocks – can be mastered when used for brief intervals. Bürstner offers the Mover SE R for the Averso, Averso plus, Belcanto and Trecento model series.
