New EU Motorhomes to Cost More from July 7 Due to Mandatory Safety Systems
Original source: ElHuffPost

In Brief

From July 7, 2025, new EU safety requirements for motorhomes and campers will add €1,000–3,000 to prices. In Spain, a new motorhome starts at €70,000.

From July 7, 2025, new EU safety requirements for motorhomes and campers will come into force. All newly registered vehicles must be equipped with a range of electronic assistants, including intelligent speed limiter, rear-view camera, driver fatigue detector, alcohol interlock, lane-keeping and emergency braking systems, and tire pressure monitoring. Experts estimate this will increase the cost of new motorhomes by €1,000–3,000. The same requirements apply to converting commercial vans into motorhomes.

The caravanning sector in Spain continues to grow, attracting mainly older, high-income customers. A new motorhome costs from €70,000. The industry calls for improved regulation and infrastructure, following France's example. In May, an exhibition will be held in Vigo with more than 20 brands and 400 vehicles.

Motorhomes and caravans fill Montaña Arena coast during heatwave

In the Montaña Arena area on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, visitors have set up camp in motorhomes, caravans, and camper vans to cope with the heatwave. They rely on fans, ice, and portable showers. Some, like Alfonso Umpiérrez, have converted a refrigerated van into a mobile home, while others, like Iván Santana, bring water for showers. José Sánchez sells bread, ice, and ice cream to the campers. A couple from Cádiz says the local heat is more bearable due to the breeze.
