Motorhomes are seeing a rise in electrical appliances, including fridges and stoves, increasing the need for off-grid power. To achieve a week of self-sufficiency without hookups, dealers recommend installing solar panels, two lithium batteries, and a 3 kW inverter, costing around €3,000–€4,000. Propulsion remains diesel due to weight limits (under 3,500 kg) and range constraints, making electric drivetrains unlikely in the near future.
