Tellus Caravan og Fritid
Driving Forward: An ambitious voyage through uncertain terrain
Tellus is a leading recreational vehicle retailer established by its founders in partnership with Credo Partners. Tellus currently has 12 dealerships across Norway and the Danish/German border. We saw a market structure in obvious need of rebalancing, and market players in obvious need of professionalising.
How our partnership began

Tellus was founded in 2021 when nine experienced recreational vehicle retailers and service providers joined forces to create a superior offering in Norway. The overarching goal for Tellus is to build “one Tellus everywhere”, enhancing the ultimate voyage for all customers and business partners.

“Build a Tellus everywhere and start the ultimate voyage for customers and partners.”

Tellus faced another challenging year in 2023, with a 6% decline in turnover compared to 2022, reflecting ongoing market pressures. The broader market for new motorhomes is at historic lows, down over 60% since 2021, significantly impacting Tellus’ liquidity and inventory management.

In response, the company launched a comprehensive turnaround program, including a change in leadership and strategic cost-cutting measures, with plans to complete these adjustments by the end of 2024. Financial stability was bolstered through a NOK 100 million convertible loan and improved debt terms from existing lenders.

By reinforcing its structural resilience, Tellus aims to navigate the current downturn and emerge well-positioned when market conditions improve.
