The love for campers has taken hold this 2020. The appearance of the coronavirus has only driven a market that was already on the rise, reaching 25% of registrations last 2019 . Traveling with our own home in tow, without depending on check-in, crowded restaurants and well-disinfected rooms. The leisure vehicle market is almost as large as that of passenger cars , yet unknown to many of us. There are caravans, ideal for those who prefer to camp in a campsite and enjoy a second home on the beach or in the mountains. The motorhomes will allow us to travel with everything we need behind our backs: kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and large trunk . The camper, on the other hand, requires more restraint when loading luggage and its equipment is not as complete. We will have a vehicle capable of reaching any location but its autonomy is less. To travel by motorhome or camper, we must take into account some basic tips to avoid setbacks and enjoy a unique and unbeatable lifestyle.
The first getaway with a motorhome or camper is full of doubts: what should I bring? Is it mandatory to sleep in a campsite? What license do I need to be able to drive a motorhome? It is very expensive? Fortunately, manufacturers specialized in the caravanning sector have come a long way in this regard. Owning a leisure vehicle has never been easier and cheaper. Over the years, more accessible motorhome firms have appeared and many of them are Spanish. Ilusion Caravaning is based in Zaragoza, a warehouse in which the most interesting models for our pocket are manufactured. Benimar is another of the national firms, with an ideal price-quality ratio for newbies and tighter pockets. Prices will be determined by the equipment level and must be negotiated with each dealer. The price range ranges from 40,000 euros for a basic model to luxurious units of more than 100,000 euros .
The king of campers is the Volkswagen California, the mythical Bulli that marked a before and after in the concept of traveling with what is fair and necessary. It is still the best-selling model but the competition does not allow a minute of relaxation. We can already access units developed from PSA group platforms, such as the Citroën SpaceTourer or Peugeot Traveler by Tinkervan. We can also take our own van to Spanish preparers. This last option will mean what you are willing to spend but, from 10,000 euros, you can enjoy a good camperization. We are already proud of a camper or motorhome, now what?
