Motorhomes in Brazil: from vintage Nicola to modern Nomade
Original source: Tribuna Online | Seu portal de Notícias

In Brief

Brazil's motorhome scene is booming: Marcopolo's Nomade drew 200 potential buyers, a 1968 Nicola-based home is listed for 42,000 reais, and São Paulo state sees growing overland tourism.

Interest in motorhomes is surging in Brazil. At the Drosdsky dealership in Vila Velha (Espírito Santo), the presentation of the Marcopolo Motorhome Nomade attracted about 200 potential buyers. The model features a Cummins diesel engine, 4x4 drive and solar panels, priced from 1.5 million Brazilian reais. The Nomade is a purpose-built vehicle, not a converted van. The show runs until Friday, with around 40 visitors registered daily.

In Mafra, a 1968 motorhome on a Nicola chassis is for sale. It is already adapted for living but needs body paint and plumbing installation. Price: 42,000 Brazilian reais.

The municipality of Três Fronteiras in northwestern São Paulo state is becoming a popular destination for motorhome travellers. In March 2025, a gathering at the Areia Branca ecotourism park brought together dozens of vehicles and about 200 travellers from more than 20 Brazilian states. Travellers note a lack of infrastructure: water, electricity and waste disposal points are insufficient. The adapted vehicle market in Brazil is growing thanks to remote work and interest in long trips.
