We're celebrating 40 years of la strada

Founded in 1986 in Hesse, la strada Fahrzeugbau GmbH can now look back on four decades of progress ...

What began in 1986 as an idea conceived by two motorhome enthusiasts is now a leading name in the compact premium motorhome segment. For four decades, la strada has been developing and manufacturing high-quality campervans in Hesse that stand for reliability, well-thought-out designs, and precision craftsmanship.

With around 50 employees, three model series, and a Europe-wide network of contractual partners, la strada remains true to its mission even after 40 years: to build motorhomes that provide people with long-term safety and reliability. The anniversary is an opportunity to look back—and at the same time to look ahead with new ideas such as smart caravanning.

The most recent example: The la strada AVANTI Edition 40, our gas-free anniversary model, which was honored with a Plus X Award for innovation, design, and high quality. 

We would like to thank the people who have joined us on this journey: the la strada team, whose skill, experience, and passion continually help us advance our premium motorhomes; our partners across Europe, who reliably support us; and, above all, the dedicated la strada owners who are traveling the world’s roads in their campervans.
