Original source: 0223.com.ar

A mechanic from Mar del Plata left Argentina for Chile on December 31, 2025, towing a legal trailer, and returned on January 11 through the Icalma border crossing with a new Swift Firebrand motorhome. Gendarmerie officers found the discrepancy and opened a criminal case. As part of a compensation agreement, the man donated 20 Starlink satellite kits to border units. The motorhome was seized and handed over to customs.

Puerto Madryn expands parking ban for motorhomes and trailers in southern zone

The Deliberative Council of Puerto Madryn unanimously approved expanding the area where parking is prohibited for motorhomes, caravans, trailers, and towed vehicles, extending it southward. The amendment to Ordinance 12.708, which regulates parking and stays of such vehicles, follows a request from three neighborhood associations. They cited a progressive increase in large vehicles parked for extended periods on public spaces and boulevards, including Hansen Avenue, used by the community for walking, running, and cycling.

Chubut to host international caravan of 250 motorhomes

In October, Los Alerces National Park in Chubut, Argentina, will host a gathering of motorhome owners from five South American countries. Around 250 participants from Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina are expected. The event is organized by a motorhome association from Comodoro Rivadavia with support from the national parks administration and provincial authorities. Motorhomes will be placed at Camping Los Maitenes and other sites within the park. The program includes performances by a military band, folk shows, and tastings of traditional dishes. The date was chosen to coincide with the tulip season in Trevelin.
