The combination of practical science and a passion for travel is rarely as tangible as at RV Tech. Under the overarching theme... RV Tech Research and Development We work closely with the Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences, bringing fresh impetus and sound know-how to the retrofitting of premium motorhomes.
RV Tech Research and Development: How science and practice merge
The RV Tech Research and Development is not an abstract concept, but a lived reality. Prof. Dr. Tim Nosper, himself an enthusiastic motorhome traveler and professor at Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences, promotes the direct exchange between research and campsites. Every component you encounter at RV Tech The process of finding [the right camper] involves a development process that combines scientific methodology with the requirements of experienced campers.
- Joint development projects with students
- Practical tests under real camping conditions
- Regular knowledge transfer between university and manufacturing
This results in retrofit solutions that are not only technically sophisticated but also proven in everyday use. Dialogue with the university ensures that innovations like ours are developed with the necessary expertise. electric roof window drives or the Central locking for storage compartment doors always stay on the pulse of the times.
From idea to series production: The development process at RV Tech
The development of new products begins at RV Tech This usually involves a clear practical problem arising from the everyday lives of motorhome owners – such as the desire for greater ease of use when operating the roof window or the need for securely closed storage compartment doors. Together with students from Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences, concepts and prototypes are first developed and then tested for functionality, reliability, and integration into existing systems.
- Idea generation and problem definition
- Design and simulation in the laboratory
- Practical test in a motorhome – often in Prof. Nosper's own Carthago.
- Optimization and manufacturing in Upper Swabia
This close integration of theory and practice results in products that have proven their worth in demanding vehicles such as Carthago, Concorde, and Morelo. You can find a user report on automatic roof window drives in the article. Heki 3 electric: Experiences with automatic roof window drives.
Made in Germany: Quality through research and regional manufacturing
All RV Tech products are developed in close cooperation with the Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences and manufactured directly in Upper Swabia. This approach not only ensures high product quality but also guarantees sustainable development – constantly adapted to current technical requirements and feedback from practical applications.
