In Brief
Ana and Fernando, retirees in Spain, live in a used Fiat Ducato Maxi bought for under 10,000 euros. They renovated the interior themselves and save money on the road.
A retired couple, Ana and Fernando, shared their life in a used Fiat Ducatoⓘ Maxi motorhome, which they bought for less than 10,000 euros. Ana, a Venezuelan who has lived in Spain for 20 years, and Fernando, of Argentine origin, have been living in the motorhome for three years. They spoke about their lifestyle in a video on Arnau Serrado's YouTube channel.
Fernando fitted the interior with wood himself to reduce weight and costs. The couple prefers their used vehicle to newer models because of their weight. "The main problem is weight. We reduced it to lighten it, but that also means a lower quality of life," they say.
According to the couple, living in a motorhome allows them to save money: even without tracking expenses, they manage to put money aside. They spend money in local communities, for example on food and gas, and claim that over a weekend a group of campers can spend more than 7,000 euros in a village. The motorhome is 27 years old, and the DIY renovation cost 1,631 euros. The move cut their expenses: they no longer pay for water, electricity, or other utilities, and their modest pension now covers their needs.

In Spain, motorhome parking with sea views is free and equipped with drinking water, which can be located via an app. Another retired couple, Philippe and Michelle Bardoux, said they spent not a single cent on parking during a three-month trip from Normandy, citing Valencia, Denia and Benidorm.
José Manuel Jurado, president of the Spanish Association of the Caravanning Industry and Commerce (ASEICAR), stated that buying motorhomes for permanent residence is an isolated case. According to him, in a year only one client purchased a motorhome to use as a home. Jurado attributes the sector's growth to the desire to travel, not the housing crisis. He also noted that Spain lacks about 2,000 motorhome areas, especially along the coast.
Northern Spain offers three motorhome routes: a 450 km coastal route from Hondarribia to Cudillero through the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias; a 380 km route along the Galician coast from Ribadeo to Fisterra; and a route through the Aragonese Pyrenees via Jaca, Ansó, Sallent de Gállego, Torla-Ordesa, Aínsa, Benasque and Graus. Galicia has over 300 overnight stops, while Asturias and Cantabria have about 250 combined. Overnight parking outside authorised areas is restricted in Cantabria and Asturias.
