The Otomoto website checked which camping vehicles are most frequently searched for by visitors to this most popular website with automotive offers in Poland.
What campers?
Unfortunately, the problem is that the website still does not have a separate category dedicated exclusively to motorhomes. Therefore, when analyzing the statistics, not so much touring cars were taken into account, but passenger versions of cars known primarily for their delivery vans. And so, in the ranking, instead of motorhome brands (such as Hobby or Globe-Traveler), we will find, in order: Fiat Ducato, Renault Master, Volkswagen Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit .
However, this qualification tells us little, because the vehicles mentioned are only base cars, on which, among others, campers, not touring cars as such.
What trailers?
