The VARIOmobil Fahrzeugbau GmbH was founded in 1981 and is now one of the established premium manufacturers of bespoke luxury motorhomes in Germany.

For more than four decades, our manufacturing workshop in Bohmte has been crafting bespoke motorhomes and exclusive special-purpose vehicles with artisanal precision. Our position at the forefront of high-end motorhome manufacturing is the result of continuous development, technical expertise, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.

A VARIOmobil is a fully bespoke luxury motorhome crafted in Germany – not a mass-produced vehicle, but a one-of-a-kind home on wheels.

The VARIOmobil Fahrzeugbau GmbH stands for 100% custom-made craftsmanship and German engineering in the premium motorhome sector: individual floor plans, a high level of in-house production, exclusive fittings, and advanced technical solutions on 7.5–26 t truck and bus chassis.

Each vehicle is created as a personal high-end project – from initial planning and engineering to interior build-out and final handover, all from a single source. The result is a truly unique motorhome, precisely tailored to your requirements and never built in exactly the same form again.

At present, our team consists of just over 60 employees. Each and every one of them is an integral part of our products. It is only through their passion for craftsmanship that we are able to consistently deliver the highest level of quality.

We offer apprenticeships in the following professions:

  • Body and Vehicle Construction Mechanic [m/f/d]
  • Cabinet Maker [m/f/d]
  • Vehicle Painter [m/f/d]
  • Electrical Technician [m/f/d]
  • Office Management Specialist [m/f/d]

Apply now – preferably in combination with an internship.

Of course! In addition to our current job openings, you are welcome to send us an unsolicited application at bewerbung@vario-mobil.com. You can find more information about your career opportunities at VARIOmobil here.

In addition to our website, we are active on various social media channels. You will also find current brochures, price lists, and informational materials in our download section.

We offer four models that differ fundamentally in the overall design and construction of the motorhome.

  • VARIO Star
  • VARIO Perfect
  • VARIO Alkoven
  • VARIO Signature

The VARIO Star is the entry-level model within the VARIOmobil family in terms of size. However, the high quality is a standard that runs consistently through all models.

  • Fully integrated GRP body with proprietary designer front
  • Laminated transition from driver’s cab to body (monocoque)
  • Slim body width of 2.33 m
  • Low overall height of 3.40 m (incl. satellite antenna)
  • 7.5 t – 8.8 t on MB Atego or MAN TGL chassis
  • Length from 8 m – 9 m

The VARIO Perfect is the flagship of our company.

  • Fully integrated GRP body with proprietary designer front
  • Laminated transition from driver’s cab to body (monocoque)
  • Wide-body design with an overall width of 2.50 m
  • Continuous flat floor design with an overall height ranging from 3.55 m to 4.00 m
  • 7.5t to 26t three axles
  • Length range: 7.50m to 12.00m
  • Garage capacity: Smart to Mercedes-AMG GT or Porsche Turbo (configuration-dependent)
  • Up to 4 slide-outs

The VARIO Alkoven retains its original driver’s cab and is extended by an additional sleeping area above the cab – the alcove. This creates the characteristic motorhome silhouette.

  • Offers up to three separate sleeping areas with 4–8 fixed beds
  • Wide-body design with an overall width of 2.50 m
  • In-house GRP side spoilers for an optimal transition from cab to body
  • Continuous flat floor – overall height up to 4.00 m
  • 7.5t to 26t three axles
  • Length range: 7.50m to 12.00m
  • Garage capacity: Smart to Mercedes-AMG GT or Porsche Turbo (configuration-dependent)
  • Up to 4 slide-outs

The VARIO Signature represents the semi-integrated version of the VARIOmobil range. It combines the benefits of the fully integrated VARIO Perfect with the original front design of the Mercedes-Benz Actros.

  • The living body is connected to and integrated with the XXL driver’s cab.
  • In-house GRP side spoilers for an optimal transition from cab to body
  • Second seating row - co-pilot experience for four
  • Drop-down bed above the cockpit
  • Sleeping areas for 4-6 beds
  • 2- or 3-axle Mercedes-Benz Actros (18t / 26t)
  • Length from 10.50 m to 12.00 m
  • Garage capacity: Smart to Mercedes-AMG GT or Porsche Turbo (configuration-dependent)
  • Up to 4 slide-outs

The permissible exterior dimensions of a VARIOmobil are governed by the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). Typical dimensions are within the following range:

  • Height from 3.40 m to 4.00 m
  • Width from 2.33 m to 2.55 m
  • Length from 7.50 m to 12.00 m

This depends on the model built and therefore also on the chassis used. It is essential that no axle loads are exceeded. For this reason, the chassis must always be dimensioned accordingly to ensure sufficient payload capacity. In the lightest configuration, we use an 8.8 t chassis that is derated to 7.5 t. In the heaviest configuration, a 26 t three-axle chassis is used. All vehicles operate within this range.

To operate a VARIOmobil registered with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 7.49 t, a minimum of a C1 driving licence is required. Drivers who obtained their licence before 1999 may rely on the former German Class 3 licence, which permits vehicles up to 7.5 t permissible gross vehicle weight.

For vehicles exceeding 7.5 t permissible gross vehicle weight, a Category C driving licence is mandatory.

A standard Category B licence is not sufficient under any circumstances.

Prices start at approximately €655,000 and increase depending on equipment, size, and level of customization. Every VARIOmobil is a bespoke handcrafted product with no upper price limit.

The delivery time of a motorhome depends on several factors. First, there is the procurement time for the chassis. In addition, our extensive in-house production depth requires considerable time to plan and build your VARIOmobil exclusively for you. Furthermore, previously placed orders must be completed first. For this reason, you should expect an approximate delivery time of around 1.5 years. Please feel free to contact us so that we can provide you with the most up-to-date information.

Used VARIOmobil vehicles can be purchased on the secondary market. From time to time, we also offer pre-owned motorhomes from our own production for sale. However, a small number of available vehicles meets a large number of interested buyers, which means they are usually sold very quickly. Another factor is that many of our satisfied customers have been driving their VARIOmobil for 30 years or more and have no intention of selling it. With an annual production of approximately 15 motorhomes, high demand meets a very limited supply.

Unfortunately, this is not possible at our factory.

You are welcome to arrange an appointment with us at any time and visit our factory in Bohmte. In a relaxed and informal atmosphere, you can view our VARIOmobil models in the showroom and receive personal consultation.

Alternatively, we exhibit every year at the end of August at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. As the world’s largest trade fair for motorhomes and caravanning, it offers the perfect opportunity to explore the latest models and visit us at our stand.

A VARIOmobil can be ordered exclusively through our manufactory, VARIOmobil Fahrzeugbau GmbH, located in 49163 Bohmte. We do not operate multiple locations, nor do we work with distributors or dealers. Orders are placed directly with us at our factory, as this is the only way to ensure optimal customer support from the very beginning.

We use chassis from Mercedes-Benz (Atego / Actros) as well as from MAN (TGL / TGM / TGS). Which chassis is best suited to a particular motorhome ultimately depends on your individual requirements and preferences. In any case, we are happy to advise you in detail on all available options.

The chassis is delivered directly from the manufacturer as a platform chassis on a low-loader trailer.

Depending on the motorhome model, the driver’s cab is completely removed. The chassis is then individually modified: for customer-specific wheelbase adjustments, it is cut in the center and realigned. At the rear, it is shortened if required to integrate a frame drop, for example to accommodate a passenger car garage.

In addition, a robust, high-rigidity tubular steel space frame is mounted and welded onto the chassis. This forms the structural foundation for the heated double floor, which integrates the technical systems, tanks, and generously sized storage compartments.

Only the chassis is supplied by the manufacturer. All other components are manufactured at our factory in Bohmte. This includes:

  • In-house metal fabrication workshop
    • for chassis modifications and construction of the tubular space frame
    • production of ramps for the vehicle garage
  • In-house body construction
    • Vacuum pressing of floor, roof and side walls
    • Lamination of front sections, bumpers, etc.
  • In-house paint shop
    • Sealing and protection of the vehicle against external environmental influences
    • Painting of the body in any desired colour combination
  • In-house carpentry workshop
    • Complete furniture production from a single source
  • In-house electrical and heating department
    • Installation of the complete electrical system including all components
    • Installation of pneumatic and hydraulic systems for chassis, slide-outs, stabilisers and vehicle garage
    • Installation of the complete water system including heating
    • Development and production of proprietary air-conditioning systems
  • In-house final assembly
    • Assembly, inspection and comprehensive testing of all components

The entire body structure of the vehicle is manufactured from GRP (glass-reinforced plastic). All walls consist of vacuum-pressed GRP sandwich panels, which are bonded and integrated with our in-house laminated GRP front section in a monocoque-style construction.

In combination with the tubular space frame mounted on the chassis, this results in an exceptionally stable and torsion-resistant overall structure.

You can completely dispense with the use of gas in your motorhome. A combination of a Scheer diesel heating system, sufficient battery capacity and solar charging enables the use of an induction cooktop and a compressor refrigerator. This reduces dependence on an additional energy source.

We offer comprehensive service at our factory in Bohmte. Simply bring your motorhome to us, and we will take care of it. With our all-inclusive service package, your VARIOmobil remains fully operational and ready for use at all times.

If service work on the chassis is required, this can of course also be carried out at the authorised service centre of the respective chassis manufacturer.

We believe that comprehensive support for your VARIOmobil from a single source – namely ours – helps to maintain the vehicle’s high quality, allowing you to enjoy your travels with complete peace of mind.

We recommend an annual service inspection at our facility. Depending on the vehicle components, this includes the TÜV inspection as well as gas system and leak tests. This ensures both safety and roadworthiness.

 

Repairs and modifications are carried out in full by our service team. Please contact us to arrange an appointment.

Even if you do not own a VARIOmobil, you are welcome to benefit from the comprehensive service offered at our facility. Our decades of experience with other brands as well ensure professional support in accordance with VARIO standards.

We are happy to accept motorhomes as trade-ins, including vehicles from other manufacturers. For specific enquiries, please contact us directly.

We do not only build motorhomes. Over the years, we have successfully established a second core business in the field of commercial special-purpose vehicles. Whether you require a box body, a fully integrated business vehicle or a semi-trailer for your company, we offer tailored solutions to meet your needs. In addition to its practical benefits, a VARIO business vehicle can serve as a powerful marketing tool for customer acquisition and retention.
  • Outside broadcast vehicles for Hessischer Rundfunk
  • Bridge inspection vehicles for the Lower Saxony State Logistics Centre
  • Mobile bank branches for Sparkasse and Raiffeisenbank, including ATMs
  • Occupational medical examination vehicles for the Construction Employers’ Liability Insurance Association (BG Bau)
  • Conference vehicles for the German Navy
  • And many more

Individual ideas are always welcome. If your request is not covered in our FAQ section, please feel free to contact us – where others stop, our prototype engineering is just getting started.
