The world of camperized vans, caravans and motorhomes is living its golden age in Spain. This summer has been the rental of caravans has established itself as a strong alternative for holiday tourism, and according to data from the Spanish Association of Industry and Commerce of Caravaning (ASEICAR), 50,000 motorhomes form the current mobile park in Spain, which the 150,000 that have crossed the borders this summer from abroad are added.

With this panorama, Camplify, which is one of the largest caravan exchange platform in Australia and the United Kingdom, has set sail for Spain and will enter our market very soon.

With rural tourism as a priority

The Camplify expansion project for Europe will be officially presented in Barcelona on October 12, at the International Caravaning Show.

The company has announced an investment of 1.2 million euros in its entry into the Spanish market and expects that by 2021 it will have built a solid community of caravanning enthusiasts and will then have some 1,700 vehicles on its platform.

And to support regional tourism, it has joined the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain to boost the local economy of villages with major depopulation problems.

In the style of an Airbnb, Camplify connects mobile home owners with tourists who want to spend a different holiday in all types of caravans and motorhomes, including static or trailer shops.

The company promises that Spanish owners can earn between 10,000 and 20,000 euros a year and ensures that their British and Australian users have earned more than 12 million euros.

In less than four years it has become one of the largest rental platform for motorhomes, vans and caravans in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom with more than 46,000 active registrations and in full expansion, demonstrating the success of these houses on wheels.

According to data from ASEICAR, the registrations of these recreational vehicles shot up in Spain in 2018 by 352% compared to 2013, while the areas enabled for motorhomes have quadrupled in less than a decade. Even so, this association claims more areas for motorhomes, which do not reach 1,000 in Spain

At the moment the Spanish domain of Camplify is already operational so that the owners and small and medium companies of the sector interested can register their vehicles on the platform.
