This eliminates the costs associated with buying, insuring and maintaining the vehicle. Many people are so enthusiastic about caravanning as a form of holiday after their rental experience that they think about buying their own vehicle in the future. Gwendolyn Behnke gave a presentation at CARAVAN SALON 2024 on the topic of ‘Sharing is caring - renting and travelling sustainably with a motorhome’. Here are her key learnings! #caravansalon24 #caravansalon #speaker #caravanning
