A retired couple from Mallorca has been living in a motorhome of about 10 square meters for five years. They save around 1,400 euros per month, cap fuel spending at 700 euros, and rely on solar panels for energy independence.

The couple notes that Mallorca's humid climate was difficult for one of them, and the drier air during travels improved their well-being.
