The financial viability of buying a motorhome instead of renting depends on the frequency of use. Using the example of a Knaus l!ve 650 MF model costing approximately €70,000, the calculation shows that purchase pays off if used for more than 22 weeks in the first year or about 5.5 weeks annually in subsequent years, compared to an average weekly rental cost of €1,200.

Spain set a motorhome registration record — and immediately tightened the rules. On Mallorca, 150 caravans took over a sports complex car park because renting a flat costs more.

Broadcaster HR will air an extended version of a documentary film about a campervan trip through Istria. The premiere is scheduled for April 5, 2026, with the route running from Trieste in Italy through Slovenia to Pula in Croatia.
