Alternatives to Motorhomes Gain Popularity in France
© itransports.fr

Sales of traditional motorhomes are declining, while camper vans and other alternatives now account for over 20% of the market. Camper vans cost between €48,000 and €70,000, which is cheaper than new motorhomes priced above €75,000. Dacia offers a Sleep pack for €1,590 that transforms the Jogger into a camper, making camping more accessible.

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month.
