Spanish couple Juanma and Tony have lived in a 5 m² motorhome for nearly four years, spending about 100 euros per week. They bought the vehicle for 8,000 euros and invested 3,000 euros in repairs. The motorhome features a fold-down bed, a 21-liter dry toilet, a 200 Ah lithium battery, and a 400 W solar panel. For cooking, they use gas, consuming two butane bottles per year. The couple says this lifestyle has reduced stress and improved their health.

British couple switches to motorhome life due to high weekly rent

Kath Cross and Stuart Hall sold their belongings and moved into a 7.5-meter Mercedes Sprinter motorhome. The decision was driven by high weekly housing costs. Since 2022, the couple has traveled over 40,000 km across 15 countries, including Scotland, Europe, and the Sahara. Their monthly expenses range from £900 to £1,200 (€1,050–€1,400), less than the previous rent.

Motorhome parking: what changes on October 1

Royal Decree 518/2026, effective October 1, amends the General Traffic Regulations and introduces Article 92.4, which explicitly distinguishes parking from camping. A vehicle is considered parked if it does not extend beyond its perimeter, rests only on its tires, and does not discharge any fluids. This limits municipalities' ability to fine based solely on vehicle type, while regional tourism laws and the Coastal Law remain in force.

Rise of camper vans: a growing phenomenon

In Spain, the number of camper vans is increasing significantly, driven by their versatility for both leisure and commercial use. This growth is reflected in the rising vehicle fleet, particularly in cities like A Coruña, and the massive presence of campers at events such as the recent solar eclipse in Soria. Nomade Nation, a Spanish camper van manufacturer, has raised €1.8 million to expand across Europe, highlighting the growing demand for these vehicles.

Dacia Dokker for camper: prices and budget alternatives in 2026

On the Spanish used market, the Dacia Dokker remains a popular base for campers. Prices for used vehicles without conversion range from €6,500 to €12,500, while ready-made campers cost €11,500–€18,000. Professional camper conversion starts at €9,750 (excluding the vehicle), and a removable kit costs €1,450–€2,300. Alternatives include a new Dacia Jogger with a bed (from about €20,900) or used compact vans (Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter, Renault Kangoo).

Motorhome boom in La Rioja

The Spanish region of La Rioja is experiencing a significant increase in the popularity of motorhomes. Local authorities report a rise in tourists traveling in self-contained vehicles, which is boosting the development of infrastructure and services for this segment. As a result, measures are being considered to regulate parking and ensure comfort for both tourists and local residents.
