The €35,000-€45,000 segment represents the top category in the used motorhome market, offering wide selection and proven technology.

Standard equipment often includes awnings, climate control and reversing cameras, with most vehicles maintained in good condition.

The German Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) has refined its case law regarding items of daily use. In a ruling dated January 27, 2026, the court stated that even high-priced motorhomes can fall under this category, exempting gains from their sale from taxation as a private disposal transaction within one year. This applies when the asset is acquired primarily for personal use, even if it is partially rented out.
