Emission comparison
According to a study by the German Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (Ifeu), a hotel night produces 22.1 kg of CO₂ equivalent per person, while a night at a camper stop emits 1.8 kg, up to 10 times less. An Italian Ergo study confirms that a motorhome emits only 70% of the CO₂ compared with a car trip with hotel stays, where hotels account for 42% of CO₂ emissions and 46% of fossil fuel consumption. The savings come from stays at campsites and motorhome areas, not from driving.
Assocamp data
A survey of 52 dealers by Assocamp found that for 63.5% of operators, the presence of solar panels, inverters and lithium batteries is a decisive factor in purchasing. The data and the guide “Con il camper puoi” will be presented at Salone del Camper 2026 in Parma from 12 September.
