According to an Allied Market Research report, the global motorhome market was valued at $29.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $62.9 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 8.2%. Growth is driven by changing leisure preferences and increased sales during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 424,400 units sold in North America in 2020 and approximately 260,000 motorhomes and caravans sold in Europe in 2021.

A large fire broke out after a camper reportedly struck a power line. Fire crews responded to the scene in Morton, Mississippi, on April 12, 2026.

A long-lost 1961 prototype of a gold-plated Airstream caravan has been found and restored. The 24-foot travel trailer was custom-built for the company president and features unique interior details, including a gold-plated bathtub and custom window shutters.

Travelers spent 15 days in January 2026 touring three U.S. states in a rented Roadsurfer campervan. The route covered 4631 km, with a total trip budget of 7315 euros for two people, where van rental accounted for 37% of expenses. The authors note that for more comfortable temperatures, such trips are better planned for March or early April.

The $5 million Zenith motorhome was built in 2020 to service the racing team of Formula 1 champion Mario Andretti. It is a 16-meter semi-trailer weighing 36.3 tons with a fold-out second floor that expands the interior area to 115 sq m. The vehicle features 8 sleeping berths, three bathrooms, two home theaters, and a lighting system that mimics a starry sky.

A couple has been living full-time in a motorhome for three years, traveling through 49 U.S. states and 9 Canadian provinces.
