In Brief

Sergey Lobarev, head of the National Association of Motor Tourism and Caravanning, said a new motorhome in Russia costs from 7 million rubles, rental — 20–30 thousand rubles per day.

Sergey Lobarev, head of the National Association of Motor Tourism and Caravanning, reported that the average price of a new motorhome in Russia starts at 7 million rubles. Renting such a vehicle for a family of four costs 20–30 thousand rubles per day.

More than 100 companies in the country convert vehicles, but there is no mass production. A used motorhome or a car with a caravan can be found from 1 million rubles. Surveys showed that 85% of respondents are ready to buy a motorhome if prices drop.

Russia has 35–40 thousand registered motorhomes versus 5 million in Europe, due to high costs and lack of infrastructure.

Family in pickup camper explores offbeat Dagestan

A family from Istra traveled through Dagestan in a pickup camper, staying at places not on standard tourist routes. They visited the Verkhniy Gunib nature park, Saltinsky waterfall, Karadakh gorge, Matlas stone bowl, Chirkey reservoir, and Sarykum dune. In the park they encountered a wild fox, and near the waterfall they met a German couple in a 1967 vintage car.

Photographer with three children travels from Volgograd to Turkey in a motorhome

Photographer Irina Sibukova, along with her husband and three children, has been traveling from Volgograd to Turkey in a motorhome for the fourth year. The 2018 motorhome was purchased in 2023 for 6 million rubles. Maintenance costs include insurance of 8,000–15,000 rubles, as well as water, toilet cassette, and battery charging. Few difficulties arise on the road, but in North Ossetia there is no internet or navigation, and in Batumi parking is problematic. Over four years, the family has covered the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts of Turkey from Mersin to Izmir, visiting Cappadocia and Pamukkale. It is noted that Turkey has few good campsites and prices have risen.
