In Brief
Families choose motorhomes for PHN event, and a Brazilian couple founded a luxury motorhome company. Demand for rentals and custom builds is rising.
At the 2026 PHN event, some families are using motorhomes instead of traditional tents or buses, allowing them to travel with greater autonomy and spend time together.
The popularity of motorhome travel is growing due to the ability to combine mobility with home comfort. Such vehicles are typically equipped with a toilet and shower, a kitchen with stove and refrigerator, sleeping areas, a power system, and air conditioning. A category B driver's license is sufficient for a motorhome weighing up to six tons. Operator Bancorbrás has partnered with North American company Cruise America, offering motorhome rentals in the US and Canada for a minimum of seven nights.
A Brazilian couple, who gained fame on social media after building their own motorhome, founded the company Up! Motorhome. The company produces custom motorhomes based on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Ford Transit vans, with prices starting at 265,000 Brazilian reals. To date, the company has delivered 15 vehicles and plans to double that number by 2026.
