Buying a motorhome in Russia will cost from 7 million rubles

Sergey Lobarev, head of the National Association of Motor Tourism, said at the Dikorosy forum in Novosibirsk that the minimum cost of buying a motorhome in Russia is 7 million rubles, and renting for a family of four is 20,000–30,000 rubles per day. Mass production is absent, but over 100 organizations are engaged in vehicle conversion; a used option with a trailer can be purchased for 1 million rubles. About 85% of respondents would buy a motorhome if the price were affordable. Russia has 35,000–40,000 such vehicles, while Europe has over 5 million with a developed network of campsites.

Gorodets becomes stop on motorhome festival route

The town of Gorodets has been included in the route of the family motorhome festival "Blago Fest". The festival runs from July 3 to 12 in the Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod regions, timed to the Day of Family, Love and Faithfulness. Over 11 days, participants will cover more than 300 km, visiting eight cities and over 30 cultural heritage sites. The route includes Murom, Pavlovo, Vorsma, Bogorodsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Bor, Semyonov and Gorodets, as well as an ethnic program at the eco-aul "Dzhailyau". Gorodets District head Alexander Mudrov said the municipality sees motorhome tourism as a new direction for developing tourist flow.

Ex-State Duma deputy wins millions from Kostya Tszyu's coach over wrecked motorhome

The Sverdlovsk Regional Court upheld a ruling ordering boxing coach Vladimir Chernya to pay 6.5 million rubles to former State Duma deputy Vladimir Taskayev. Taskayev's Adria Matrix motorhome, driven by Chernya, crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a truck. Taskayev initially sought 9.2 million rubles, but the court reduced the amount due to Chernya's financial situation and disability.

Haval H9 as a home on wheels. A week of living in the car

An owner drove a Haval H9 4,800 km across the Kola Peninsula, using the vehicle as accommodation. Over 87 hours of driving, average fuel consumption was 11.4 L/100 km. Sleeping arrangements involved a self-inflating mattress, and the kitchen was stored in three plastic boxes. A folding table on the tailgate proved the most useful accessory. Drawbacks included the mattress sliding due to the floor slope and the need for a firm slam to close the tailgate.

Workshop for producing motorhomes opens in Altai with state support

A workshop for manufacturing and upgrading travel trailers has opened in the village of Zudilovo, Altai Krai. Local resident Ekaterina Voronkova signed a social contract under the national project 'Family' and used the 350,000 rubles to purchase equipment. The workshop produces, repairs, and services travel trailers; the first order has already been completed.

Experts Reveal Hidden Costs of Motorhome Ownership

Motorhome owners in Russia face recurring expenses for maintenance, repairs, and storage, with vehicles depreciating quickly and renters often causing damage. A basic motorhome costs between 1.5 and 2 million rubles, losing significant value in the first year. Daily rental rates range from 5,000 to 23,000 rubles, eliminating taxes, insurance, and storage costs, but purchase is only justified for long trips. Short-term rentals can yield 20–25% annual returns with a payback period of 3–5 years, but the business requires constant owner involvement and carries high risks.
