Carado CV540 costs €48,390 in France and €66,590 in the Netherlands
Original source: Autobahn

The French price list for Carado motorhomes shows a significant price gap compared to the Netherlands. The compact CV540, a 5.41-meter camper van based on the Peugeot Boxer, starts at €48,390, while the longer CV600 (5.99 m) starts at €49,390. In the Netherlands, the same models start at €66,590 and €67,890 respectively, a difference of €18,200 and €18,500. The main reason is the Dutch bpm tax (37.7% of the net catalog price plus €273 for diesel), along with differences in VAT, equipment, and transport costs. Buying in France does not exempt buyers from bpm and VAT when registering in the Netherlands.

A 2021 Morelo Grand Empire 110 GSO, listed for sale in Maasdijk, is currently the most expensive motorhome in the Netherlands. The used vehicle is priced at 599,000 euros, which exceeds the average Dutch house price of 489,000 euros. The over 10-meter-long motorhome, based on a Mercedes-Benz Actros, features an expandable living area, an internal garage for a compact car, and luxury amenities including underfloor heating and a massage seat.

Panama P09 based on Ford Transit Custom: a budget alternative to the Volkswagen California

Spanish brand Panama has introduced the P09 camper van built on the Ford Transit Custom. The model offers five seats and two sleeping areas (150×190 cm and in the pop-up roof). The indicative price in Southern Europe is around €52,900, significantly lower than the Volkswagen California (from €80,000). Equipment includes a kitchen module with a stove and sink, a refrigerator, and a foldable table. Limitations: a 10-liter fresh water tank, no fixed toilet or shower.

Coleman 13B: Cheap Caravan with Caveats

The American Coleman 13B caravan is sold in the US for as low as $9,999, well below the price of many city cars. The 4.85-meter model sleeps four and includes a wet cell, refrigerator, microwave, and air conditioning. The low price stems from the elimination of gas systems: all appliances run on electricity, limiting use to campsites with hookups. Dry weight is 1,145 kg, with a GVWR of 1,587 kg, requiring careful vehicle compatibility checks. Import costs, VAT, and certification will significantly raise the price in Europe.
