Motorhome Holiday: is this a "green holiday" ?

I am wondering what people’s opinions are on this: My family consists of two adults and a 4 year old girl. We are thinking about a motorhome holiday beginning in the UK and touring around France and Spain. Our estimated mileage is about 1800 miles. We are intending to hire a motorhome from www.motorhomesdirect.co.uk picking it up in Hertfordshire, UK and then taking a Dover Calais ferry with Sealink. We are hoping to hire something like a Hymer Motorhome with a 2.8l turbo diesel engine. Whilst away we use local shops not supermarkets and we always eat and drink local produce. Alternatively we have an option to fly to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands (from Luton Airport), where I would probably rent a car. In each case the holiday will last 3 weeks. We are more concerned than ever about our carbon footprint, but we do love our holidays. We work very hard during the winter and always feel like we need a holiday. So do you think the motorhome holiday is a greener option?
