From March 2026, stricter technical inspection rules for motorhomes and campers have come into force in Spain. The DGT cites a threefold increase in the number of such vehicles since 2015.
Under the new rules, motorhomes over 10 years old must undergo inspection annually, while campers (category N) over 10 years old must do so every six months. According to Auto Bild España, campers based on vans of category N now follow a schedule: annual inspection in the first ten years, then every six months after that, while motorhomes of category M retain the previous schedule: exemption up to four years, then every two years up to ten years, and annually thereafter.
The new rules also regulate parking and set requirements for dedicated parking areas for these vehicles. Additionally, a new road sign for wastewater disposal points is introduced.
