Caravan or Motorhome? Why the trailer is cheaper and how much it costs
Original source: Pleinair

Italy shows a persistent bias against caravans (trailers) in favor of motorhomes, despite official data from the European Caravan Federation (ECF): only 521 new caravans were registered in Italy in 2023, compared to 18,752 in Germany. A new caravan starts at €20,000, a towbar installation costs under €1,000, and annual taxes and insurance amount to a few dozen euros. The lack of an engine minimizes maintenance costs, and after unhitching the trailer, the car remains free for independent travel.
