Original source: Auto Plus

In France, the used motorhome market grew by 3% between 2024 and 2025, with 67,637 used vehicles registered out of a total of 94,058. For a budget of €25,000–€30,000, a converted van (based on Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper or Peugeot Boxer) provides standing height, a separate bedroom with a permanent bed, a full bathroom with shower and toilet, a kitchen with stove and fridge, and fresh water tanks of 80–100 liters. Compared to a compact camper van, the converted van consumes 8–12 L/100 km versus 7–8 L/100 km, but requires attention to its height over 2.5 m when passing under barriers and in parking lots.
