The average booking lead time for motorhomes and camper vans in Spain is 15 weeks, with trips lasting 11 days. Bookings for European destinations have increased from 53% in 2025 to 77% this year, a trend experts attribute to international instability. Rental costs range from 80 to 200 euros per day, excluding additional expenses.
