RMC Story will air the episode "Motorhome madness: holidays like no other" on 27 September at 19:10, lasting 1 hour 11 minutes. The episode features five families: Barbara and Yannick with two children travel to Catalonia in a motorhome; Ozan, Mélanie and three children spend three weeks in Italy in a converted 4x4; Laurent and Stéphanie from Waterloo, Belgium, take a weekend trip in a 15-tonne truck with high-end fittings; Vincent, Nathalie and their son Ange travel over three days from Drôme to Damazan in Lot-et-Garonne in a T3 campervan to meet other enthusiasts of older models.

Freya Gill and Charlie Thackwray, both 29, moved into a caravan parked in Charlie's mother's garden to save on rent. After a year in the older caravan, they bought an Elddis Crusader for around €4,800, then in June 2025 switched to a more modern Adria Adora costing €19,000. Living in the caravan allowed them to save nearly €24,000 toward buying land to build a house and farm. Monthly costs include about €180 for the plot, €65 for fuel, €155 for financing and €420 for food; they pay no council tax or water bills, and gas refills cost about €95 when needed.
