Spanish pensioners Maribel and Vicente from Mallorca have been living in a motorhome for five years, travelling across Europe. The move has cut their monthly expenses by €1,400 compared to living in an apartment.

They gave up rent, utilities and a car, saving €400 a month on loan and insurance. The couple sticks to a budget of €2,000 a month, of which up to €700 goes on diesel, and €150–200 is set aside for repairs.

According to one source, the move also improved Maribel's health thanks to the dry climate.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings.

Alpandeire to create a new motorhome area

The municipality of Alpandeire has started building a motorhome area on the outskirts of town, in the Cerrejón area, near the municipal pool and the Fray Leopoldo Interpretation Centre. The project, with a budget of €29,983, is funded by the Andalusian government under the Municipal Cooperation Plan. Works include levelling the site, installing water supply and wastewater drainage. The aim is to attract tourists and boost the local economy.
