Retired Couple Lives in Motorhome for 11 Years, Says It's Not Cheaper Than Rent

Charo and Carlos, a retired Spanish couple, have been living in a motorhome for 11 years and say that this lifestyle is not necessarily cheaper than renting. They point out that costs for fuel, insurance, and maintenance can add up. Initially, their motorhome lacked air conditioning, making it very hot, but modern equipment like solar panels and lithium batteries has improved comfort. In Spain, monthly expenses for motorhome living are estimated at 500–1200 euros, and a used vehicle costs 15,000–30,000 euros.
