In Spain, the housing crisis is driving more people to consider living in a motorhome as an alternative to renting. The couple David and Lara plan to move into a motorhome to save on rent. They estimate monthly expenses of €600 to €1,200, including fuel, insurance, food, and campsite fees, with an initial investment of €15,000–30,000 for a used motorhome.
Antonio, a 37-year-old teacher, already lives in a motorhome to save on rent. He uses solar panels and free water, with his main costs around €20 for propane.
The Spanish Caravanning Industry Association notes that most motorhomes are used for tourism and urges authorities to address the housing crisis.
