Registrations of recreational vehicles in Italy increased by 4.05% in the first ten months of 2026 compared with the same period last year. Ludovica Sanpaolesi, general director of the national association of camper and caravan manufacturers Apc, reported the figures. Almost 90% of national production is concentrated in Valdelsa, between the provinces of Siena and Florence. Sanpaolesi said the Salone del Camper in Parma drew 100,000 visitors at the start of the commercial season, which runs from 1 September to 31 August. She described the sector as holding steady but said it needs monitoring because of the geopolitical situation and industrial electricity costs.
