Motorhome demand holds steady in France despite rising diesel prices
Original source: France 3 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

In Brief

Despite diesel prices reaching around 2 euros per litre, motorhome popularity in France remains strong. Owners adjust routes but do not give up trips.

In April 2026, despite rising diesel prices (around 2 euros per litre) linked to the conflict in Iran, motorhome owners in the Cornouaille region (Finistère) continue to travel. The family of Mathieu and Marjorie with three children stated they are not ready to give up this lifestyle.

According to dealers, sales remain stable, with 80% of purchases at the recent show made by first-time buyers. Average annual mileage of motorhomes is 5,000–10,000 km (other sources say 4,000–5,000 km), resulting in extra fuel costs of about 220 euros per year. Prices range from 30,000 euros for a used model to 100,000 euros for a new one; a motorhome worth 270,000 euros was displayed at the Clermont-Ferrand exhibition.
