Düsseldorf. The recreational vehicle manufacturer Bürstner from Kehl in Germany will be presenting a groundbreaking new caravan model at Caravan Salon Düsseldorf: the TALIS. This #wohnfühlen home from home feel concept vehicle represents Bürstner's idea of the caravans of the future and sets new lifestyle, design and flexibility benchmarks. In keeping with the motto "Travel small, live large", the TALIS transfers the camper van feel to a caravan.

What does a fish have to do with a caravan?

Quite a lot, as far as the TALIS concept is concerned. The vehicle's exterior silhouette, reminiscent of a fish, was created after numerous optimisation run-throughs in design studio STUDIOSYN's virtual wind tunnel: the conic, pointed shape at the front parts the air aerodynamically; at the rear, the shape tapers from the side walls, which results in as little drag as possible and ensures that the towing vehicle's fuel consumption remains consistently low. The exterior shape of the TALIS combines perfect aerodynamics with a generous habitation size.

Bürstner Air-Xtension: Travel small, live large.

In the TALIS, this basic principle was developed further. Despite the compact exterior dimensions, the multifunctional Bürstner Air-Xtension System creates a feeling of spaciousness and increases the habitation size. The fixed rear transverse bed can also be turned into a generously-sized 200 x 170cm lengthwise bed by unfolding and inflating the Bürstner Air-Xtension System. This sleeping extension makes use of the latest generation of the Bürstner Air-Xtension System, already a familiar feature of the Lyseo TD Gallery.

Bürstner EasyFlex: Modular living creates a real camper van feel

  • EasyFlex kids' room - in the rear, a "kids' sleeping den" for two children has been created underneath the transverse bed; this can be used as a storage space or garage whilst on the move. The design of the area is suitably child-friendly, and it can be partitioned off with a curtain.
  • EasyFlex kitchen - a non-gas, dividable, portable kitchen module with a double induction hob that can be used outdoors in combination with the EasyFlex lounge (removable bench + table). This creates an additional, large living area. For an even more genuine camper van feel, the kitchen can therefore be carried outside in order to be able to cook outdoors and enjoy nature to the max.
  • EasyFlex boxes - clever, removable storage boxes: whilst on the move, they take the place of the usual top lockers; they can then be taken out when packing or shopping for more comfortable loading.
  • EasyFlex washroom with a twin chamber eco-toilet: the washroom features a storable twin chamber toilet that can be taken out as and when necessary. It works without chemicals, is self-sufficient, can be used as needed and is ecological.
  • Battery operated lights: can be positioned anywhere inside the vehicle.
  • Acoustic panels made of wood on the walls have a soundproofing effect.

"The TALIS is currently a #wohnfühlen home from home feel concept vehicle designed by Bürstner to illustrate how we see the caravan of the future. Electric towing vehicles, a low fuel consumption and light construction are becoming increasingly important. Almost any car can tow the TALIS, including electric cars," says Jens Kromer, chairman of the Bürstner GmbH & Co. KG management board. "With the TALIS, designed in collaboration with our design partner STUDIOSYN, we have given birth to an innovative caravan concept that represents the consistent further development of our #wohnfühlen home from home idea."

The TALIS will be shown to the international public for the first time at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. Have a look at its amazing innovative features and unique concept, and get ready to experience a new dimension of the camper van feel!
