Solifer – further models: Finnish caravans of the Finlandia, Nordica and Goldie series, unladen weights from 250 to 1,633 kg, gross weights from 1,000 to 2,700 kg
Solifer is a Finnish caravan manufacturer whose models appeared over several decades in numerous name spellings and series – from the plain S4 to S9 designations through the comfort series Finlandia, Nordica and Goldie to the sturdier Artic range built for Nordic winter use. This collective page covers the models outside the named series, including many spelling variants of the same name as they appear in Finnish registration records, plus intermediate versions such as the 550 family with the DL, GLS and GLT trim suffixes. The number in the name roughly tracks body size in many series, while suffixes such as L or T indicate length or a particular version.

The register lists 112 versions with unladen weights from 250 to 1,633 kilograms, gross weights from 1,000 to 2,700 kilograms and widths from 2,070 to 2,540 millimetres and lengths from 5,900 to 8,120 millimetres. The range therefore spans compact two-berth caravans through to family caravans with considerably higher payload.
Solifer was one of the established caravan brands of the Finnish and Swedish market, competing there with Adria, Kabe and Polar, before smaller Nordic manufacturers were increasingly pushed aside by the large central European groups. The vehicles are built for northern European climate conditions, with correspondingly robust insulation and heating.
When buying used, what matters most on these older caravans is damp damage to the roof and window frames, the condition of the axle and the overrun brake, and corrosion of the chassis and the corner steadies. As Solifer is no longer produced as an independent brand, parts supply depends largely on universal caravan components such as axles, brakes and window seals available through the general accessory trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
