The Fiat Ducato has been the leader in the motorhome market for many years. Why is it like that? How does the competition look like against it? Today we will take a closer look at the vehicles on the market. We will also describe the most important differences between them. It is hard to imagine that over a dozen or so years any vehicle undergoes only minor "lifting" changes. And yet the Fiat Ducato is a perfect example of this. The king of the motorhome market (as I think we can talk about it) has, on average, seized over 70% of this cake in recent years. However, apart from changing the shape of the headlamps and subtle modifications to the layout of the dashboard , engine replacement required by the EURO6d standard and a new gearbox, not much has happened here. The entire range of propulsion engines are units with a capacity of 2.3 liters, additionally subject to high excise duty.

The camper market is experiencing a real explosion. Prices on the secondary market have skyrocketed, and factories can't keep up with orders for new vehicles. The product is therefore very scarce.

Since we are talking about camping vehicles related to our hobby and associated with pleasure, family and travel, we may not keep a sober mind in the purchasing process. Act impulsively, in a frenzy, often looking through rose-colored glasses. However, we must realize that this purchasing process is no different from purchasing a family car for everyday driving. In addition, we are talking about considerable amounts in these transactions.
