It carries 1,500 liters of water, 2,000 Ah batteries, solar panels, a washing machine, and a dishwasher.

Buying a motorhome in Russia will cost from 7 million rubles

Sergey Lobarev, head of the National Association of Motor Tourism, said at the Dikorosy forum in Novosibirsk that the minimum cost of buying a motorhome in Russia is 7 million rubles, and renting for a family of four is 20,000–30,000 rubles per day. Mass production is absent, but over 100 organizations are engaged in vehicle conversion; a used option with a trailer can be purchased for 1 million rubles. About 85% of respondents would buy a motorhome if the price were affordable. Russia has 35,000–40,000 such vehicles, while Europe has over 5 million with a developed network of campsites.

Over 11 days, participants will cover more than 300 km, visiting eight cities and over 30 cultural heritage sites.

Ex-State Duma deputy wins millions from Kostya Tszyu's coach over wrecked motorhome

The Sverdlovsk Regional Court upheld a ruling ordering boxing coach Vladimir Chernya to pay 6.5 million rubles to former State Duma deputy Vladimir Taskayev. Taskayev's Adria Matrix motorhome, driven by Chernya, crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a truck. Taskayev initially sought 9.2 million rubles, but the court reduced the amount due to Chernya's financial situation and disability.

Haval H9 as a home on wheels. A week of living in the car

An owner drove a Haval H9 4,800 km across the Kola Peninsula, using the vehicle as accommodation. Over 87 hours of driving, average fuel consumption was 11.4 L/100 km. Sleeping arrangements involved a self-inflating mattress, and the kitchen was stored in three plastic boxes. A folding table on the tailgate proved the most useful accessory. Drawbacks included the mattress sliding due to the floor slope and the need for a firm slam to close the tailgate.
