New EU GSR II rules: motorhomes to cost €1000–3000 more
Original source: PROMOBIL

In Brief

From 1–7 July 2026, the EU GSR II regulation comes into force, requiring new motorhomes to be equipped with active safety systems. Industry estimates put the price increase at €1000–3000 (some sources say up to €5000).

The EU GSR II regulation, effective from 1 July 2026 (some sources say 7 July), mandates that all new motorhomes be fitted with a set of driver-assistance systems. Requirements vary by weight: vehicles up to 3.5 t must have eight systems, including automatic braking, lane-keeping, fatigue detection and a rear-view camera; heavier models must also have blind-spot monitoring and start-off warning.

According to industry estimates, this will raise the price of new vehicles by €1000–3000 (one source cites a range up to €5000). Owners of older vehicles are not required to retrofit anything — the rules apply only to first registrations. Dealers are already offering discounts on existing stock without GSR II.
