2025 season conclusions and plans for 2026
When I started building my first campervan, I already had a very clear goal.
I wanted to build five motorhomes little by little and rent them out.
But before the first series, that was nothing more than an idea.
I didn't know if there would really be any demand. I didn't know if people would like travelling in a campervan built by me. Nor did I know how many bookings I would get or if it would make sense to carry on.
The first series answered practically all of those questions.
It started 7 August 2025 and finished at the beginning of January 2026.
During that time the motorhome was rented out 14 times. In total, they travelled around 90 nights' rental, with an average duration of just over six nights per reservation and an average price close to 85 euros a night.
Today those figures just seem like statistics.
But then each new booking meant much more than a number.
Every journey gave me experience, new ideas and real-life situations that I could never have learned any other way.
What surprised me most wasn't the number of bookings.
I was convinced that, after September, the season would practically be over and I could dedicate October, November and December to building the next motorhome.
However, the exact opposite happened.
The bookings kept coming in until the end of the year.
The latest customers returned the motorhome as early as the first few days of January 2026.
That was when I realised that, at least on the Costa Blanca, the season didn't end with the summer.
That was one of the most important discoveries of the entire first year.
Whilst still delivering the first motorhome to new clients, in October 2025 The next stage had already begun.
I bought a Citroën Relay and I began the build of my second campervan.
I found the van thanks to someone who worked at a commercial vehicle hire company. When their vehicles reached a certain mileage, they sold them. That is how I got a unit in very good condition, with low mileage and at a very attractive price.
Shortly afterwards another one arrived Fiat Ducato.
I remained convinced that building the motorhomes myself was the best option. Not only did it involve a much smaller investment than buying a new motorhome, but I could also apply everything I had learned with the first fourteen clients right from the start.
During the first series I also discovered something else.
Most customers asked practically the same questions.
How the hot water worked.
How to empty the tank.
How to use the heating.
How the fridge worked.
That is why I started recording short explanatory videos which I sent before each trip. Later on, those same videos would become the foundation of the help section of the website of LSR365.
At the end of 2025, another idea was also born.
At first, I had built a motorhome solely to enjoy it myself and rent it out when I wasn't using it.
But after the first year I realised that there were many people in the same situation.
Owners who only used their motorhome a few weeks a year and had it parked the rest of the time, bearing the costs of insurance, tax and maintenance.
I realised that LSR365 it could also help those people.
It wasn't just about hiring out my own motorhomes.
I also wanted to help other owners make the most of theirs when they weren't using them.
At the beginning of 2026 that idea began to become a reality.
I met Julián, owner of two motorhomes. After showing him my project and the website I had just created, he decided to entrust me with finding clients for his vehicles.
It was the first step towards LSR365 it would cease to be solely the project of a single motorhome.
At the same time I realised that building new motorhomes on the street was no longer an option.
Between the construction of new vehicles, maintenance and repairs, more and more space was needed.
Thus was born the workshop where later we would build the following motorhomes and where we would also begin to help other owners with improvements and repairs.
Looking back, I believe the biggest result of that first season was not the fourteen reservations.
It was the confidence to keep going.
The initial idea had worked.
And what started with a single campervan was beginning to turn, little by little, into LSR365.
