Living in a motorhome year-round: between freedom and vulnerability
Original source: Sud Radio

The number of people living full-time in motorhomes in France is growing, driven by the housing crisis and alternative lifestyles. No official statistics exist, but associations estimate several thousand individuals, including retirees, remote workers, and low-income earners. Key challenges include high fuel and maintenance costs, energy management in winter, and administrative hurdles like domiciliation and insurance. Municipalities are tightening parking regulations, leading to tensions, while the lack of a clear legal framework leaves residents vulnerable.
