Original source: dp.ru

Russia has 32,200 motorhome owners, with caravanning growing by 2,500 families annually. A new Russian-made motorhome costs from 4.5–5 million rubles, rental from 20,000 rubles per day. The segment's development is hindered by a lack of campsites: only 464 equipped sites exist nationwide.
