From May 14 to 17, 2026, an exhibition of oversized motorhomes is taking place in Morbihan (Brittany), featuring about 60 vehicles similar to models from the US and Canada. Organizers expect up to 4,000 visitors; entry is 5 euros.
Many owners have sold their homes to live year-round in such vehicles. For example, Serge and Ann (or Anna) from Quimper purchased a 10-meter motorhome (18 meters with trailer) for €150,000; fuel consumption with trailer is 27 L/100 km.
