La DGT añade nuevas normas para campers y autocaravanas

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has updated regulations for motorhomes and camper vans due to their increasing popularity, with registrations nearly tripling since 2015. The new "Instrucción PROT 2026/04," effective since March 11, adapts to Supreme Court interpretations regarding the balance between state and local regulations. Key changes include clarifications on vehicle inspection timelines based on vehicle category (M for motorhomes, N for camper vans), allowing motorhomes to park and stop under the same conditions as other vehicles, and regulating motorhome reception areas as a form of tourist accommodation in some regions. Inspection frequency varies, with motorhomes inspected biennially after four years and annually after ten, while camper vans are inspected annually up to ten years and bi-annually thereafter.
