| 説明 | Westfalia in Wiedenbrueck gained worldwide fame in 1934 through the invention of the towbar with ball + ball coupling. FranzKnobel, the founder of Westfalia, is prompted when at the table his eye falls on the joint of a chicken leg. That ingenioushinge gives him the idea of the ball coupling. He applies for a patent on it and it is patented all over the world, up to and including America, recognized. In 1935 Westfalia comes with its first caravan. Westfalia just stopped the production of caravans in 1967 and started to focus on small motorhomes, with great success.But to everyone's surprise, nineteen years later (!) So 1996 there is another caravan at the exhibition in Essen, the "Columbus" a polyester wagon of 5.50 m long with an empty weight of 1500 kg. A wagon with many ingenious details that is definitely ahead of its time. But due to its enormous weight and the high price (DM 26,862), it does not catch on.It is said that westfalia was taken over by an investment group at the time and one member of it came up with the idea to start producing a caravan again, but one of the highest quality, as we are used to from this builder.Production stopped at the beginning of 2000, Manfred Ermel www.ermel-freizeitmobile.de/ in sassenheim took over the entire production line as well as the service, and started producing Delphin caravans in particular special construction under his own name. , they are now the most expensive caravans in Europe and are only produced to order.At various points, this caravan was very luxurious and solidly executed, for example, there was already a completely independent city connection for water at that time, so that the water does not have to go through the tank first, the discussion about the use of water from the tank as drinking water is now up to date again.Furthermore, the alde stove is an unsurpassed success, economical with gas, and can also be used on electricity plus boiler for hot water, duo gas distributor can be operated automatically or from the inside.it is also a full winter caravan, suitable to minus 40 degrees, hail-free roof, etc.The high weight is not only due to the many real wood that is used in it, but also the chassis, those of you who know the westfalia horse trailer, the columbus also has a chassis with truly independent wheel suspension and suspension, which results in sublime handling, but unfortunately also 1800 kg total weight. |
