A motorhome converted from a van, carrying three Brazilian tourists, was completely destroyed by fire in Argentina. The blaze, which started in the engine compartment likely due to a short circuit, caused one occupant to sustain minor burns after re-entering the vehicle to retrieve belongings.

Retirees from Rosario convert 1995 Mercedes-Benz bus into motorhome

Silvia and Sergio from Rosario converted a 1995 Mercedes-Benz 1215 passenger bus into a motorhome and have been traveling South America for over a year. Sergio originally bought the bus for spare parts for his work trucks, but his wife suggested turning it into a mobile home. The interior includes a full kitchen, inverter refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioning, and a 500-liter potable water tank. Power is supplied by four 450 W solar panels and two 200 Ah lithium batteries, with a 3000 W inverter peaking at 5000 W. A dry toilet and grey water tank are used. The couple reports lower stress and reduced consumption since retiring.

Motorhome and caravan rental: costs and key considerations

Demand for motorhomes and caravans in Argentina increased after the pandemic. Renting one costs USD 100–120 per day, higher than a three-star hotel. Fuel, insurance and a deposit for potential damage are additional. A used caravan costs USD 30,000–40,000, while a fully equipped motorhome ranges from USD 100,000 to 120,000. More than 10 rental companies operate in the country. The Expo Rodantear show is scheduled for October 22–25.
