How does the price of electricity affect the management of motorhome areas?

Since 2022, the rise in the cost of electricity has strongly impacted itinerant tourism. Many area and campsite managers are moving away from the flat-rate model toward fairer schemes based on actual consumption.

This is revealed by a study published by CampingBusiness and ACSI, which highlights that numerous tourist establishments have had to update their energy policy in order to protect their profitability.

What do travelers think about paying for electricity consumption?

The ACSI report shows that:

  • 72% of campers already monitor their consumption at home due to rising rates.
  • 47% would reduce their electricity consumption in motorhomes if they had to pay for it separately.
  • However, almost 50% prefer to keep paying an included electricity rate, even though they understand the reasons behind the change.

The challenge lies in designing a fair and transparent system that allows for better resource management without affecting the customer experience.
