In France, over 25,000 new and 43,000 used motorhomes were sold in the 2023-2024 season. The purchase price is only the starting cost. Annual expenses include fuel (8-10 L/100 km for a camper van, 12-18 L/100 km for other light vehicles, over 20 L/100 km for heavy models), insurance (€600-800), winter storage (€40-120 per month), technical inspection (€95 every two years), and a moisture test (€100-200). Repairs, such as replacing four tires, can cost €550-1,100, while fixing a water leak may exceed €4,600. Buyers should calculate the real annual cost before choosing a model.
