Italian camper market grew 10.56% in 2025
Original source: Fortune Italia

In Brief

In 2025, Italy sold over 44,000 motorhomes, with new registrations up 10.56%. Europe registered 161,341 motorhomes and 54,169 caravans. Italy allocated €25 million for parking areas, but shortages persist.

Market growth

In 2025, Italy saw a 10.56% increase in new motorhome registrations compared to 2024, and a 6.05% rise in used vehicle transactions, according to the Association of Caravan and Motorhome Manufacturers (APC). Total sales exceeded 44,000 units: 21,500 new and 23,000 used. The market value surpassed €2.5 billion. Italy is the third-largest motorhome producer in Europe, exporting over 80% of its output. The Valdelsa region produces 85% of the country's recreational vehicles.

European context

In 2025, Europe registered 161,341 motorhomes and 54,169 caravans. The EU adopted a directive allowing motorhomes up to 4,250 kg to be driven with a category B license.

Infrastructure and challenges

The Italian government allocated €25 million to create and upgrade motorhome parking areas in 169 municipalities, but the total number of such zones (around 2,000) lags far behind France and Germany. In Trentino, foreign tourists account for over 65% of guests, but there is a shortage of equipped parking spots and issues with unauthorized parking bans. According to club representatives, undisciplined tourists, often short-term renters, damage the reputation of the entire category.

Saronno: Motorhome owners protest over derelict parking area

Motorhome owners in Saronno, Italy, are calling on the municipality to restore the parking area on Via Grieg. The site, intended for servicing and parking motorhomes, is in a state of neglect: garbage is frequently dumped, water supply has been cut off, loading and discharge points are disabled, and there is no video surveillance or adequate lighting. Users suggest introducing paid access if the area is properly maintained, but the administration has not yet responded about the future of the facility.

Retired couple from Saxony spends 'Venetian night' at campsite: 'Then the caravan shakes'

On the RTL Zwei show 'Bella Italia – Camping auf Deutsch', pensioners Hannes (72) and Christine (75) from Saxony plan a 'Venetian night' in their motorhome. The couple, married for over 50 years, uses this code word for romantic evenings. Christine promised her husband an intimate night if the beer they brewed in the motorhome turns out well. Hannes said that during such nights 'the caravan shakes, sparks fly'. Christine bought a nightgown to surprise her husband.

Atlantis Mobility +: barrier-free travel

Italian company Atlantis, which builds motorhomes with a monocoque body in fiberglass or carbon fiber, has unveiled the Atlantis Mobility + project — a custom motorhome for a client with severe motor disabilities. Based on the De Luxe 695, the vehicle features a widened door, an external powered ramp, a reinforced floor with an aluminum honeycomb structure, and a fully gas-free layout (induction hob, orthopedic motorized bed with anti-decubitus mattress). The bathroom is made of fiberglass with a flush-floor shower tray, a sink shaped to allow wheelchair access, and grab bars. The electrical system includes solar panels, two lithium batteries totaling 400 Ah, and a 3 kWh inverter. The company is open to similar modifications on slightly smaller models like the 645, but advises against the 595 version due to limited wheelchair maneuverability.
