Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

Germany's KBA has ordered a recall of 46 motorhome models from Laika, Hymer, Ertrusco, Bürstner, Dethleffs, Corigon and LMC, built in Germany and Italy between 2018 and 2026.

Europe's recreational vehicle market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% through 2030. Professional operators are shifting from a lifestyle approach to logistics-driven procurement with total cost of ownership calculations. Key investments include tire pressure monitoring systems like the GR-TPMS RV01, designed for mixed terrain and large vehicles, offering real-time data and fuel savings. Certified TPMS installation is now recognized by major European insurers and increasingly required for EU compliance.
The European Parliament's Transport Committee adopted its position on May 5, 2026, regarding the modernization of EU roadworthiness testing rules. For motorhome and camper van owners, the key development is the rejection of the European Commission's proposal to require annual inspections for vehicles over ten years old, deemed disproportionate. Instead, new rules introduce the possibility of having inspections done abroad while on holiday and stricter measures against odometer fraud.
The European Parliament has approved a new driving license directive that will make it easier to drive heavier motorhomes. Holders of a category B license will be able to drive vehicles weighing up to 4.25 tonnes after special training, compared to the current 3.5-tonne limit. EU member states have three years to transpose the new rules into national law.
In 2025, overnight stays at EU campsites reached 413 million, a 28.5% increase over a decade, outpacing hotel growth (23.4%). Greece has allowed parking for motorhomes up to 7.5 meters in residential areas without time limits, with a 24-hour limit for larger vehicles and trailers.
The European motorhome market was valued at USD 25.48 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 51.62 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 8.16%. Growth is driven by a preference for flexible and safe travel, the rise of domestic tourism, and smart technology integration, but is restrained by high costs and stringent environmental regulations.
Overnight stays at campsites, RV parks, and caravan sites in the EU reached 413 million in 2025, a 28.5% increase compared to 2015. 67% of stays were concentrated in the summer months, with France leading at 154 million nights, accounting for 37.2% of the EU total. France was followed by Spain (49.8 million), Italy (49.1 million), and Germany (45 million).
