A Brief History
Carthago was founded in 1979 by Karl-Heinz Schuler in Ravensburg, Germany, initially converting VW buses with a small team of just ten employees.
Key milestones include:
- 1998 – launch of the first M-Liner, Carthago’s pioneering premium liner on a Mercedes base.
- Early 2000s – shift from VW conversions to exclusive production on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Iveco chassis.
- 2004 – debut of the chic range at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon.
- Today – headquarters in Aulendorf, known as “Carthago City,” where cutting-edge manufacturing meets meticulous German craftsmanship.
Carthago continues to grow as one of Europe’s leading motorhome manufacturers. Their blend of classic design and constant innovation keeps demand strong, with recent highlights such as the C-Tourer 145 RB LE attracting keen interest.
