According to a study by the CamperDays platform, traveling by motorhome CAN be more cost-effective than combining a rental car and hotel in several Northern European countries.

Key findings

  • Sweden and Norway: in high season, a motorhome is 13–14% cheaper.
  • Iceland: the difference is about 10%.
  • Germany: in high season, a motorhome is 10–14% cheaper due to sharper hotel price increases.
  • In low season: savings average around 8%.

The analysis considered average rental, fuel, and accommodation prices for 2025–2026. The vast, untouched landscapes of Northern Europe make these countries ideal for extended road trips by motorhome.

Drilled in the chassis plate

A caravan owner accidentally drilled a hole through the chassis number plate. According to an expert, caravans from 1969 onward have a stamped chassis number on the frame. If that is missing, a new number can be stamped and a registration inspection performed, while keeping the original plate.
