Motorhome and caravan market in Spain hits records

According to industry association data, new motorhome and camper registrations in Spain rose 84.3% year-on-year in February 2026, reaching 796 units. New caravan sales also grew significantly, up 52.6% to 116 units.

The total fleet of such vehicles in the country is estimated at around 372,500 units. According to one source, about 30% are used as permanent housing.

Reasons for growth

The increase is partly linked to fleet renewal by rental companies and the continued popularity of this travel style post-pandemic. The second-hand market for motorhomes and campers also grew 14.6% (from 1,819 to 2,084 units).
