A comparison of costs for a trip from Paris to Nice shows that a two-week holiday in a motorhome is cheaper overall. With a new car costing €36,000 and a motorhome €60,000 (depreciated over 5 years), fuel and tolls are higher for the motorhome (€700 vs €470), but accommodation costs are lower (€800 for a campsite vs €3,080 for an Airbnb), resulting in a total budget of €1,500 vs €3,500. However, the higher initial purchase price requires frequent use to break even.
