Munsterland – other models: the collective page of the German car and touring-caravan trailers outside the named ranges, from Dominant to Ambassador, 260 to 1,720 kg unladen weight, up to 2,000 kg gross weight
Münsterland was a German caravan and trailer brand from the Westphalian region of the same name, whose models were among the common touring caravans on German campsites from the 1970s to the 1990s; over time the brand moved closely into the orbit of the Warendorf maker LMC, today part of the Erwin Hymer Group. This page gathers the car trailers of the brand the register could not assign to a named range – the trim-line names such as Dominant, Luxus and Ambassador denote the level of fit-out rather than a continuous type count.

The register lists here 181 versions with unladen weights from 260 to 1,720 kg, gross weights from 840 to 2,000 kg, lengths from 3,433.5 to 9,000 mm and widths from 1,160.5 to 2,500 mm.
Car trailers and caravans of this weight class could for a long time be towed in Germany behind an ordinary car without an extra licence category, which shaped the West German camping boom of the 1970s and 1980s; after the market shakeout of the 1990s, many smaller brands such as Münsterland disappeared from new sales, though their vehicles remain numerous on the used market.
When buying a used older caravan, check above all for damp in the body (windows, roof hatches, drawbar locker), the condition of the axle and jockey wheel, the function of the gas and brake systems, and rust on the chassis; on plain transport trailers also the sides, load floor and lighting. Spare parts for the brand itself are now scarce, while identical chassis components run through the general trailer trade.
