Traveling by Class C motorhomes is becoming a mass phenomenon in Canada due to developed infrastructure and the ability to drive with a regular license. Cruise Canada offers models for 2 to 7 people with bases in major cities.

From July 7, 2025, the EU General Safety Regulation II (GSR II) comes into force. All newly registered motorhomes must be equipped with intelligent speed assistance, driver drowsiness monitoring, alcohol lock pre-installation, and a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, tire pressure monitoring). Industry experts estimate the added cost per new motorhome at €1,000–€3,000. DIY van converters should register their vehicles before July 7 — after that date, even a used chassis will be treated as a new registration and must comply with all mandatory systems.

The author shares his experience of using a small R-Pod travel trailer for a golf trip in Canada. He notes that renting such a trailer allows free movement by car after setting up camp, and the cost is significantly lower than that of a motorhome. As an example, he cites the RV park at the Golden Golf Club in British Columbia, which is a 30-second walk from the first tee.
