Which motorhomes can you really buy for €30,000?

The motorhome market in France has grown significantly: in 2010 they accounted for only 5% of new vehicle sales, but now camper vans and vans dominate. Due to high prices for new models (from €45,000 for a camper van and €50,000 for a van), buyers increasingly turn to used options. For €30,000, you can consider a 2013 Volkswagen T5 California (131,000 km, €30,990), a 2013 Font Vendôme Fortyvan (72,000 km, €31,590), or a 2006 Pilote Intégral Explorateur G713 (136,000 km, €30,990).

Used motorhomes under €30,000: best picks on the market

The used motorhome market under €30,000 offers a wide range of models, from classic vans to family integral campers. For budgets between €12,000 and €20,000, options include the Volkswagen T4 Multivan 2.5 TDI, Chausson Acapulco on Fiat Ducato 2, Trafic II Evado, and Adria Win. In the €30,000 segment, top choices are the Volkswagen T5 California 2.0 TDI 140, Font Vendôme Fortyvan on Ford Transit, and Pilote Explorateur G713 on Mercedes Sprinter.

Motorhome for €60,000? The €1,000 alternative is booming this summer

With average motorhome prices exceeding €60,000, demand for cheaper alternatives is rising.

The fifth RTT festival will take place from September 11–13 at Lake Madine, France, featuring exhibitions, test zones, and music.
