Converting Kombi into a mini motorhome: from R$15,000 or a removable kit for R$3,700

Residents of Ubatuba report that a bus-based motorhome has been parked on the sand of Ubatumirim beach for over a week. Since September 2025, a municipal law has prohibited the parking and overnight stay of motorhomes and similar vehicles on beaches and other public spaces, with fines of up to R$1000 and possible removal. Authorities have not yet clarified whether this regulation was applied in this case or reported any inspection or fine.
