Original source: La Gaceta de Salamanca

In Brief

Spain's DGT has updated its motorhome instruction. The number of such vehicles rose from 48,000 in 2015 to nearly 137,000 in 2025. New inspection schedules and clarified parking rules are introduced.

Spain's General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has updated its motorhome instruction, first published in 2023. The number of motorhomes in the country has nearly tripled from 48,000 in 2015 to almost 137,000 in 2025.

Technical inspections

  • For category M motorhomes: every two years after 4 years of use, annually after 10 years.
  • For converted vans category N: annually from the start, every six months after 10 years.

Parking

Municipalities can now restrict long-term parking of motorhomes on urban streets, citing a 2018 Supreme Court ruling. The instruction also considers regional legislation on special parking areas.

New sign

A new road sign S-128 has been introduced to indicate wastewater discharge points.
