A reader survey by promobil shows that high diesel prices affect motorhome owners in different ways. Some reduce speed to 90 km/h, saving up to 2 liters per 100 km; others reroute to cheaper countries like Poland or avoid paid parking. One respondent's analysis found fuel accounts for only 14% of total trip costs, while overnight stays are 40% and vehicle costs exceed 46%.
In Hamm, Germany, diesel reached 2.24 euros per liter before summer trips. A survey at a motorhome weighing station found most camper owners still take vacations but adjust spending: they fill up early (in June), choose shorter routes (e.g., Netherlands instead of Spain), and drive slower. Some note that in Sweden diesel costs 1.45 euros, while Germany has high fuel taxes.
