However, as the dealer network of companies selling high-quality goods increased, it became possible to buy motorhomes on credit. Currently, Hymer has six official dealers in Russia. Three companies operate in Moscow (Caravan Center, Kemper Center, Comtransavto), one each in St. Petersburg, Ufa and Yekaterinburg.
A popular model of motor homes in Russia - Hymer Camp Classic, alcove motorhomes. In the West, B-class motorhomes are best sold.

House for rent
But buying a motorhome is not necessary. It can be rented. Rental services in the capital alone are provided by several companies. As was reported at the representative office of Hymer, the fact that the rental of motorhomes was a turn this summer is indicative of the positive dynamics of demand for motorhomes in Russia, the entire rental fleet was in demand. According to Levinsky, only one metropolitan dealer of the Hymer company, who opened the rental of motorhomes, from April to May issued a lease for more than 200 people.
Rental rates are closely tied to the seasons and the lease term. For example, in the "Auto Travel" in the high season, falling on the summer months, renting a house on wheels, where four people can comfortably travel for 3-11 days, will be 180 euros per day. In the middle season (this is April - May and September), the rental day will cost 145 euros, and the lowest (from January to April and from October to January) - 125 euros. In the company "World of Kupava" you can rent a Russian autohouse, the rental conditions are discussed individually.

The price includes insurance of CTP and CASCO with a deductible, compensation for possible minor repairs caused by normal wear and tear on the way.

For comparison: in different countries of Europe there is also an age limit of 21-25 years, and the required driving experience is 1-3 years.
Where to stay?
Advantages of traveling in specially equipped cars - motor homes in Western Europe have long appreciated. At present, in 17 countries, including Germany, Italy, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, etc., there are about 950 campgrounds, where they are ready to take on parking and provide thousands of autohouses with everything they need.
Campgrounds, like hotels, have their own classification. For example, camping on the territory of the Santalahti recreation center in the southern part of Finland is 5-star. There is a cafe in the landscaped area, household buildings with a sauna and a laundry have been erected. The grounds under the shed are equipped with a grill, a playground is organized. Electric sockets are connected to the parking lot, there is a connection to cable TV and the Internet.

The campsite also has a heated swimming pool, a sauna, a solarium, a barbecue area, a laundry room, a restaurant, shops, and a playground for children. Cable TV is available.
Currently, companies selling auto-campers themselves make up routes for tourists. For example, in November and December 2006, the Karavan Center company offers two motor races in Europe. For 22 days it will be possible to visit Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, France, Germany. The trip includes not only rest with a stop at campgrounds (“3-5 stars”), but also an extensive excursion program. The length of the route is 7342 km, the cost is 1500 euro per person. Accommodation - from two to six people in one motorhome. The payment includes the cost of visas and parking throughout the route. Meals, gas and car fees are not included in the price.
In Russia, the network of campgrounds is underdeveloped. According to experts, out of the existing campsites, the majority only with a stretch meet European standards. At best, these are small recreation centers or simply equipped parking for cars.
In the Russian representative office, Hymer gave only a few addresses where they are ready to receive and serve motorhomes. So, in Moscow in the area of ​​the Rowing Canal is camping Krylatskoe. On its territory there is a mini-hotel, restaurant, bar, bowling, billiards, sauna, equipped beach, there is a boat rental service.
There are several campgrounds within a radius of up to 400 km from the Moscow Ring Road. The closest to Moscow (140 km from Moscow Ring Road) is located in the Kaluga Region, 7 km from the city of Tarusa, in the area of ​​the Brave Camp. Territory - an open area on the banks of the Oka, where gazebos, barbecues, a sports ground are built. Motorboat rental services are provided, as well as river cruises on the Oka river are organized.
Camping "Suzdal" is located in the same city of the Vladimir region, 220 km from Moscow, on the territory of the Alexander Monastery. For tourists there are gazebos, a Russian bath, barbecues, you can order an excursion program.
In the Yaroslavl region opened two campsites. One of them - "Major Pronin" is in with. Zasechye, at the site of the confluence of the Pronya and Oka rivers, 255 km from the Moscow Ring Road. A cafe, a bar, a billiard work on the territory, gazebos, a bathhouse, a smokehouse, barbecues are installed. Provided by
boat and snowmobile rental services. The second is located in the village of Nikola (340 km from Moscow Ring Road) on the Rybinsk Reservoir and is called “Sergey Vasilyevich”. A tavern with a fireplace, billiards, a bath - this is the set of the proposed infrastructure. Here is organized rental of boats, boats, fishing gear, snowmobiles. For hunters are provided services for jaeger accompaniment.
In the campsite "Upper Volga" on the lake Vselug in the Tver region (400 km from Moscow Ring Road) catering facilities are represented by a cafe and bar. Entertainment - billiards, disco. On the territory there is a football field, a sandy beach, organized rental of boats, boats, snowmobiles and fishing gear. Additional services offered in Verkhnevolzhye include horse riding, sleigh rides, snowmobiles, horse riding lessons, motorboat excursions.
The new hotel-tourist complex “Russian settlement”, where there is a parking for traveling in autocampers, recently opened in the south of the Valdai nature reserve, 360 km from Moscow. The complex is stylized as an old Russian settlement and includes a restaurant and leisure center, where there is a gym, billiards, two Russian baths, and a dock.
In the south of Russia, in the Astrakhan region (p. Selitrennoe), on the river Akhtuba, there is a camping “Cool Coast”. A mini-hotel, cafe, bar, billiards, smokehouse, sauna are open on the territory, food, boat and boat rental are organized.
But in order for the number of Russians who prefer to travel in mobile homes, increased, existing campgrounds are not enough. Currently, companies selling and renting motor homes in Russia are trying to change the situation on their own. As Leshin said, Avto Travel is building a campsite on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, about 100 km from St. Petersburg. It will be the first camping in Russia built according to the European standard. The goal is “to visually show what real camping is and how it is exploited.”
Camping will be designed for the simultaneous stay of about 50 motorhomes. An important detail - this campsite is specially built for caravaners from St. Petersburg. For guests there will be only 10 places. According to Andrei Leshin, the cost of the project is $ 400,000. According to the calculations of the company's specialists, the campsite will fully pay off for three seasons and will start making a profit in the fourth year.
Parking of motor homes on the territory of camps operating in Russia is paid. In the Moscow camping "Krylatskoe" parking space costs 1000 rubles.per day, in the "Russian settlement" in Valdai - 600 rubles. per day, in other campsites the fee is divided into two components: 700 rubles. - for parking and 300 rubles. - organizational fee, including services for garbage collection and cleaning of the territory. For comparison: in Europe, parking on the campsite will cost from 14 to 20 euros.

Unlike a solid country house, located on its own plot of land, mobile homes are deprived of a certain place of residence. True, in the representation of Hymer they think that since the autohouse is an expensive pleasure, then the person acquiring it has a place to store it. Most often - a garage or a specially erected building on the territory of a country house.
