Demand for used motorhomes in the Netherlands drops
Original source: Autobahn

In Brief

The used motorhome market in the Netherlands shifts from seller to buyer as fuel and tax costs rise. Sellers are increasingly willing to negotiate on price.

Demand for used motorhomes in the Netherlands is declining, despite rising airfare prices. According to vehicle specialist OSW, consumers are more critical of ownership and operating costs. Key factors include high fuel prices and increased taxes, including road tax.

Since January 1, 2026, road tax for these vehicles has been raised: the popular quarter rate was replaced by a half rate, doubling the tax for owners. An attempt to reverse the increase through parliament failed on May 12. The average recommended diesel price is around €2.51 per litre.

Sellers are increasingly willing to negotiate, while professional buyers are cutting purchases. However, total registrations of new motorhomes rose by 9% in the first four months of the year.

Renting a motorhome can lead to unexpected expenses. The Dutch Caravan Club (NKC) warns that advertised prices often exclude deductibles, deposits, mileage limits, and extra equipment. The average deductible is around €1,000, and exceeding a weekly limit of 1,500–1,750 km costs €0.25–0.35 per extra kilometer. Renters must also consider overnight parking rules, daily maintenance of water and electrical systems, and the challenges of driving a large vehicle.

On the A7 motorway in the Netherlands, a camper and a passenger car collided late Thursday afternoon. Both vehicles were traveling south when the driver of the camper, for unknown reasons, rear-ended the car. The impact pushed the car forward into the guardrail. Both vehicles sustained damage. An ambulance attended the scene to check those involved; no one required hospital transport. The accident caused traffic disruption on the A7, with part of the roadway temporarily closed. Earlier on Thursday, a serious accident occurred on the A7 near Wognum, where a van left the road and overturned, leading to the full closure of the A7 toward Den Oever.

Bulltron has introduced a 750Ah (9 kWh) lithium battery that, thanks to new cell technology, still fits under a campervan seat. The Polar version includes a built-in heating element to warm the battery before charging at sub-zero temperatures, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules for remote monitoring and shutdown. It weighs 57 kg, has a maximum discharge of 500 A, charge rate of 250 A, 7,000 cycles, and R10 certification. The price is slightly over 4,000 euros, with a 5-year warranty that is voided by deep discharge.

Camperbeurs Hardenberg, held from 18 to 20 September at Evenementenhal Hardenberg, will feature a record number of activities: 50 presentations across three theatres and more than 150 exhibitors in eight halls. The programme includes talks by influencers, experts and builders, covering topics from travel to technical advice. Organisers call it the largest edition of the show to date.
