Westfalia (est. 1951) is a motorhome manufacturer, based in DE. RoamWorthy lists Westfalia motorhomes for sale from verified UK dealers.
Westfalia is a German manufacturer renowned for its precision-engineered campervans and motorhomes. Operating from North Rhine-Westphalia, the brand specialises in high-quality van conversions that maximise internal layout efficiency and ergonomic design. Their current UK line-up features popular models such as the Columbus, Amundsen, and the high-roof Club Joker, each built on reliable chassis including Fiat Ducato, Ford Transit, and Volkswagen Transporter.
Westfalia vehicles are distinguished by their automotive-grade finish, innovative storage solutions, and robust four-season capability, catering to travellers who require a versatile vehicle for both daily use and extended touring. With a focus on technical innovation and durable materials, Westfalia continues to set the benchmark for luxury van conversions across Europe and the UK leisure vehicle market.
The Westfalia story began in 1844 as a blacksmith shop, but the brand’s identity as a leisure vehicle pioneer was forged in 1951. Following a specific request from a British officer stationed in Germany to convert a Volkswagen T1 into a mobile living space, Westfalia developed the 'Camping Box'. This innovation birthed the modern campervan industry. By the 1960s and 70s, Westfalia became the official partner for Volkswagen’s iconic camper conversions, producing legendary models like the Joker.
Throughout its history, the company has expanded its engineering expertise to collaborate with various major automotive manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz for the Marco Polo and James Cook models. A significant milestone occurred in 2011 when Westfalia became part of the Rapido Group, a move that provided the financial stability and resources to Modernise its production facilities while maintaining its German engineering roots. Today, Westfalia remains a specialist manufacturer, operating from its Rheda-Wiedenbrück headquarters. It continues to evolve its product range, integrating modern smart-home technology and advanced insulation techniques into its classic conversion formats, ensuring its relevance in a competitive global market.
