Residents of Liérganes (Cantabria) have accused local authorities of citing budget constraints for not repairing rural roads while funding a bypass and a new motorhome parking area. The motorhome area is budgeted at €700,000 from public and European funds, whereas roads linking Casa del Monte to Pámanes and Liérganes are in poor condition with large cracks. Residents note that a functional motorhome area has existed in the town center for over 20 years, questioning the new project's viability.

Blogger Miriam Talavera from Ibiza compared monthly expenses of living in a motorhome versus renting an apartment. According to her data, motorhome costs range from €350 to €850 per month, including loan, insurance, fuel, and gas. Renting an apartment costs between €700 and nearly €2,000, including utilities and other fees. However, on Ibiza, motorhome living is complicated by overnight parking bans and high fines, potentially raising costs to €1,800 per month.
