Brazil's RV market booms: rentals, purchases, and luxury production
Original source: Rádio Cidade

In Brief

Brazil sees rising interest in motorhomes: rentals let families test the lifestyle, purchase prices range from hundreds of thousands to 1 million reais, and a couple founded luxury brand Up! Motorhome.

Brazil's motorhome market is growing. Wohnmobil Motorhome Brasil in Brusque reports increased demand post-pandemic, renting out six RVs and trailers (planning to expand to ten by year-end). Vehicles accommodate three to six people and come with kitchen, air conditioning, toilet, solar panels, and lithium batteries. A category B driver's license is sufficient.

Purchase prices range from several hundred thousand reais to 1 million reais, encouraging DIY conversions of vans, buses, and trucks.

A couple who gained fame on social media after building their own motorhome founded Up! Motorhome, a luxury RV manufacturer using Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Ford Transit chassis. Prices start at 265,000 Brazilian reais. The company has delivered 15 vehicles and aims to double that by 2026, reaching a turnover of 5.5 million reais.
