MORELO REISEMOBILE I PROFILE
From a MORELO Palace – a motorhome that promises both form and function – to the eye-catching design of a MORELO Grand Empire, the company has created a first-class portfolio of luxury motorhomes that seamlessly blends innovative engineering with high-end comfort, redefining the standard for premium travel experiences.
In response to the growing demand for its motorhomes, the company invested in a second production line in 2024 with the
potential of boosting MORELO’s annual production capacity from 500 to 800 units.
Keen to keep its homes moving with the times, MORELO has been busy incorporating some exciting new technological developments in parallel to its year 2025 model revamp.
Introducing MORELO Connect
As part of its portfolio-wide refresh, MORELO began exploring new ways to boost its mobile homes. Keen to make the entire experience of owning a motorhome as user -friendly as possible, the company began developing its own digital living space and energy management system that would later become known as MORELO Connect.
Designed to control the heating, cooling and lighting within the vehicle from within a 50-metre radius, MORELO Connect can be controlled by a central screen, a smart phone or even using voice command.
Once the idea had formed, MORELO dedicated half a year to developing the hardware and programming the entire system. Although a fairly straightforward process, the company was up against a time crunch.
“We aimed to integrate this new feature into our 2025 upgrades, but we recognised
the challenges involved in making it work,” revealed Mr Stadthalter. “Production for the 2025 line was scheduled to begin in June of last year, marking the point of no return. As a result, we had to digitise and integrate the new software into our designs before production commenced.”
In order to complete this process accurately and safely, MORELO dedicated a lot of working hours to validation and implementation.
With high demand for the new system, the company is already busy developing it even further, in hopes of expanding the user experience.
“We are now gearing up to introduce a new update that will enable users to control their Connect systems from entirely different countries,” said Mr Stadthalter. “This is a must-have for customers who want to arrive home to a warm motorhome or for those who often forget to switch the bathroom light off. Not only is this super convenient, but it is also a great sustainable solution too.”
At the same time, MORELO is also working to introduce remote-access maintenance to improve response times and minimise the amount of time consumers are off the road for repairs.
Green innovation
These new technological developments are just one of the many improvements that MORELO has implemented over the years. In 2024, the company also made a crucial adjustment to how it installs windshields.
Previously, Morelo had bypassed glueing the shields to the front of the vehicle, but by introducing adhesive to the process, the
company found that aerodynamics improved, road noise lessened and a reduction in fuel consumption was achieved.
“Although a small adjustment to our production process, the addition of glue had a positive impact on the vehicle’s overall efficiency,” explained Mr Stadthalter. “This is just one of many improvements we have made to enhance the sustainability of our builds.
“Also, solar panels have been on our radar for a while now, and we are actively working to optimise our roof to increase the possible number of solar panels and enhance the power of our panels. Originally white, we are now turning the roof black by mounting many solar panels.”
For the first time this year, customers will also be able to order a MORELO motorhome under 7.5 tons that is completely gas free, as is already possible for the Grand Empire series.
“The new gas-free option is a great new way for eco-conscious consumers to cut down on their emissions,” continued Mr Stadthalter. “We are so excited to bring this new option to the market and are very pleased with the reception it has received so far.”
A collaborative effort
All of MORELO’s improvements were made possible with the support of its suppliers and partners.
“We have been collaborating with our suppliers for years now; they understand our business and they are always willing to help out in any way they can,” said Mr Stadthalter.

“They also appreciate the opportunity to pioneer the market with new and exciting ideas. For example, we use Siemens and Bosch for all our cooling appliances because they are high quality and reliable. These devices are not specifically designed for the motorhome environment, but we have nonetheless succeeded in finding a way of integrating them throughout our product range always aspiring to ensure the best solutions for our customers.”
Over the years, MORELO has also relied on a number of distributors to help get its motorhomes into new markets. Currently,
when it comes to the UK, the company is working exclusively with Premium Motorhomes. This distributor has been very successful in marketing MORELO motorhomes, and MORELO is incredibly happy with the direction the partnership is headed in.
MORELO expects this collaboration to continue flourishing well into the future as it begins to shift focus to model year 2026.
“Of course, we are still fulfilling the transition to model 2025, with over 100 different layout options available, this will certainly take some time,” concluded Mr Stadthalter. “We are also looking to reintroduce a previously retired model to the market. All going well, this will be part of the 2026 model year.
“Since joining the company in 2016, I have witnessed the continuous innovation and development that define MORELO. Every day, we uphold our motto, ‘Welcome Home,’ striving to make every step of the journey seamless, while ensuring our customers feel like part of the MORELO family and are treated with the highest standards of comfort, quality and excellence.” n
