• 1973: FRANKIA develops the first motorhomes based on Mercedes-Benz - a step that establishes the technological partnership with one of the most renowned chassis manufacturers.
• 1990: The French Pilote Group becomes a shareholder of FRANKIA. However, the company remains independent in terms of development, production and brand identity.
• 1992: Relocation to the newly built plant in Bernecker Straße in Marktschorgast - a significant step towards more capacity and modern production processes.
• 1995: As one of the pioneers in the industry, FRANKIA is introducing the double floor in its motorhomes - for more storage space, better insulation and optimum winter suitability.
• 2008: Opening of the new customer service center to raise service and customer care to an even higher level.

In 2020, FRANKIA celebrates its 60th anniversary with the exclusive special model „FRANKIA 1960“.

Specialization & brand philosophy

FRANKIA stands for uncompromising quality, well thought-out space solutions and genuine winter suitability - and has done so for decades.

One of FRANKIA's trademarks is the exceptionally high level of self-sufficiency of its vehicles. Large fresh water and waste water tanks, powerful lithium batteries, solar systems as standard and sophisticated heating systems ensure that you can travel completely independently for several days or even weeks, even away from campsites. The interior impresses with plenty of storage space, clever solutions such as variable rear beds or fold-down beds in the living area as well as high-quality materials that are processed by hand.

Frankia's brand philosophy is innovative floor plan solutions, well thought-out room concepts and living comfort. The focus is not only on comfort and durability, but above all on individual adaptability. Many models can be adapted to personal travel requirements on request.
