Demand for Chinese motorhomes in Russia has risen by 300% over the past year. Entry-level Chinese models cost 2–5 million roubles, while European models typically start at 6–7 million roubles and premium motorhomes from 50 million roubles. The growth follows an increase in car tourism: domestic car trips rose from 64 million to 86 million over five years. Experts say a motorhome purchase only pays off with 15–20 or more trips per year over several years; with 3–6 trips annually, rental is often cheaper.
