Start of the Season: Continental’s Current VanContact Camper Summer and All-Season Tires for Motorhomes

Hannover, May 12, 2026. With the start of the camper season, the special demands placed on motorhome tires once again come into focus. With its VanContact Camper tire family, Continental has developed summer and all‑season tires specifically tailored to the requirements of motorhomes. The portfolio includes the VanContact Ultra Camper as a summer tire and the VanContact A/S Ultra Camper as an all‑season variant. Both models are designed for the particular operating conditions of camper use – especially high vehicle weights, uneven axle loads and extended periods of inactivity. “With the VanContact Camper tire family, we take into account the load profiles and usage conditions of the motorhome segment,” says Nicolas Jackisch, Product Manager Van Tires at Continental. “The VanContact A/S Ultra Camper stands for flexible all‑season performance and year‑round use, while the VanContact Ultra Camper is optimized for operation in warm temperatures. Both tires are designed to deliver high load capacity, stability and safety.”

At the heart of the camper tire family is the VanContact A/S Ultra Camper, an all‑season tire designed for maximum flexibility. It is aimed at motorhome users who want to avoid seasonal tire changes or use their vehicle year‑round. The tire combines reliable traction in diverse weather conditions with high mileage and efficient rolling performance, making it suitable both for the start of the season in spring and for continued use throughout the year.

Camper‑specific requirements: axle loads and standstill periods

Motorhomes place special demands on tires due to their high vehicle weights uneven axle loads and long standstill periods. The VanContact A/S Ultra Camper features a reinforced carcass structure with high‑quality belt materials and meets the Camping Pneu (CP) standard, which is designed to provide higher load capacities compared to conventional van tires.

From a technological standpoint, Continental relies on a robust tread design for the VanContact A/S Ultra Camper, featuring thick rubber blocks, a protective abrasion rib and stable sidewalls. This concept is complemented by a functional tread and sipe design as well as an advanced rubber compound. Together, these elements support even wear, low rolling resistance and reliable grip under varying road and weather conditions.

Complementary summer tire solution in the portfolio

In addition to the all‑season version, the VanContact Camper tire family also includes the VanContact Ultra Camper, a summer tire specifically optimized for use in warm temperatures. Both tires address the core requirements of camper use and allow users to choose between summer and all‑season solutions depending on their individual usage profile.

After the winter break: what matters at the start of the season

At the start of the season, tire condition is crucial. Long periods of inactivity, temperature fluctuations and changes in tire pressure can affect performance. With the VanContact Camper tire family, Continental offers high‑performance, durable tire solutions for a reliable start to the camper season as well as flexible use throughout the year.
