Austrian motorhome market slumps while travel interest grows
Original source: AutoScout24

In Brief

A survey shows 65% of Austrians associate motorhome travel with flexibility and independence. Meanwhile, new motorhome registrations in the first half of 2026 fell 23.6% year-on-year.

According to an Innofact survey commissioned by AutoScout24, 65% of Austrians associate motorhome travel with flexibility and independence, 58% with closeness to nature, and 52% with adventure. Cost control and comfort were mentioned by only 40% and 33% respectively.

At the same time, the Austrian new motorhome market is in decline. In the first half of 2026, only 989 new motorhomes were registered — 23.6% fewer than a year earlier. The drop continues for a second year: in 2025, sales also fell by 23.6%. Used motorhome registrations from January to May 2026 decreased by 9.6%. The reasons cited include the consumption tax (NoVA) and CO2 penalty. The average price of used campers and minibuses in June 2026 was 25,791 euros, 5.3% lower than a year earlier but 49% higher than in June 2020.

Austrian court allows buyer to return rotten motorhome despite warranty waiver

The Higher Regional Court of Linz (OLG Linz) ruled that a buyer could rescind the purchase of a 2003 motorhome bought for €25,000 from a private seller. Although the contract excluded warranty, the court found that the seller, by arranging an inspection and promising to fix major defects, had effectively assured the vehicle's roadworthiness. A rotten wooden floor panel discovered shortly after purchase was deemed a hidden defect overriding the waiver. The buyer returned the motorhome and received the purchase price minus a usage fee.
