Rijswijk/Düsseldorf, August 28, 2025 – Trigano VDL is presenting numerous new models for the 2026 season at the Caravan Salon 2025 in Düsseldorf. Among them are the latest caravans from the Sterckeman and Caravelair brands, which will come with the E-Trailer system pre-installed as an optional feature. All new caravans from both brands will feature the E-Trailer Starter Package Plus, including a digital spirit level (E-Level), battery voltage display (E-Volt), and GPS tracking (E-Track&Trace). They will also be equipped with sensors for gas level monitoring (E-Gaslevel), water level monitoring (E-Waterlevel), tire pressure (E-Pressure), and a digital support load scale (E-Load).
