Spanish content creator Juanma López revealed the actual monthly expenses of living in a camper van. Contrary to popular belief, this lifestyle is not cheap. Main costs: fuel (400 euros), food (350 euros), restaurants and leisure (150 euros), Starlink satellite internet (90 euros), and other services (80 euros). Electricity and water costs are zero due to the vehicle's self-sufficiency.

Couple moves into camper van for €8,000, advises not to skimp on materials

Juanma and Tony, a couple from Spain, left their conventional stressful life nearly four years ago to live full-time in a Peugeot camper van named 'La Leoneta'. They converted the van themselves, spending around €8,000, including €3,000 on a gearbox repair. They highlight savings on utilities (two gas bottles per year) and freedom of movement, noting that quality components like a €850 heater ensure autonomy.

Driver sought after crashing into motorhome in Escaleritas

National Police are searching for the driver of a van who fled after hitting a parked motorhome in Escaleritas, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The accident occurred around 1:45 a.m. on July 27 on Calle Marín y Cubas in the Las Chumberas area. The motorhome was unoccupied, so no injuries were reported, but it sustained significant damage. Witnesses described the van as a gray Renault Kangoo with a greenish tint. Debris including a mirror, headlights, and a Renault emblem was found at the scene. Police are seeking a vehicle with partial plate 7509 and visible front or right-side damage.

Buying three used motorhomes: the detail that reveals more than the odometer

A journalist who has purchased three used motorhomes argues that the vehicle's history and previous owners' care are more telling than mileage. He advises asking the seller about travel routes, annual usage, storage conditions, and repairs, and inspecting hidden areas (cabinets, under mattresses) for real wear. In his experience, a high-mileage motorhome that was regularly used and maintained can be in better condition than a nearly new one that sat idle for long periods.
