Demand for motorhomes has grown in Russia

According to Avtonews of the Day with reference to Avito Avto, demand for motorhomes and caravans is growing in Russia. In April, Russians were interested in buying such cars 2.2% more often than in March.

Given the relatively high cost of motorhomes, sales of campers in our country remain small in absolute terms. However, the growing interest in this type of transport against the backdrop of the development of domestic tourism forms a full-fledged market niche in the country, in which businesses can develop, built both on the sale of motor homes and on the rental of campers.

On the market, both full-fledged motorhomes with their own engine and a place for the driver, as well as residential trailers that need to be towed, are available. The cost of motorhomes with mileage averaged 695,000 rubles, but the run-up in prices can be very large, depending on the condition and configuration.

Caravans have proven to be more popular than motorhomes with their own motor and driver’s seat. The largest share of ads for the sale of campers in Russia belongs to dacha trailers (44.56% of such ads) and caravans (31.16%). Campers of the “wagon-house” type are often used not only for tourism, but also as a temporary facility for accommodating mobile teams of workers, as well as a mobile business.

The third place in popularity is occupied by integrated motorhomes, the share of such ads was 7.23%. Alcove motorhomes account for 7.19% of listings. Both integrated and alcove motorhomes have their own power unit and driver’s cab. In alcove motorhomes, a berth is located above the driver’s cab.
