Continuous positive trend growth for motorhomes in Italy. In fact, the sector recorded a first quarter 20222 which improved its performance compared to the same period of 2021, with + 9.6% according to the registration data provided by the Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility for the period 1 January to 31 March 2022. Driving this growth were vans, also known as vans or campervans, which account for almost half of sales, with 42.30% of the total number of registered motorhomes.
In 2021 they were 39.02% of the quarterly total of registrations. This increase testifies to the preference that Italians are giving to campervans, which are extremely compact vehicles – many models are just over 5 m in length – with multifunctional and versatile features, and which can be used as a second car. The on-board comfort that the vans offer is now very high, thanks to the technologies and materials very similar to those used for the construction of more traditional campers, that is semi-integrated, motorhomes and overcabs. Great leap forward in the registrations of caravans (what in the past were called caravans) that have made a mark an increase of even 62.2% in the first quarter of 2022compared to the same quarter of the previous year, even if – in absolute terms – the numbers are still far from the great success that caravans have in the countries beyond the Alps.
“The constant increase in registrations makes us think that Italians, as are their French and German cousins, are becoming aware that the camper and caravan are the ideal tools that allow you to enjoy your free time with a high level of comfort. , close to nature. “ So he comments on the data the President of the Caravan and Camper Manufacturers Association, Simone Niccolaiwithout hiding their satisfaction with the new perception that Italians have of the camper: a modern tool for free time, technologically advanced, suitable not only for holidays but also for local tourism in all seasons.
