Original source: Motor16

Spain's DGT has issued instruction PROT 2026/04, requiring camper vans classified as category N (commercial vans) over ten years old to pass the MOT every six months. This applies to most DIY conversions. The fine for driving without a valid MOT is 200 euros. From December 31, 2026, the MOT certificate will be digital, and cameras will automatically detect expired inspections.

DGT tightens ITV for camper vans: inspections every six months if code 24 remains

Spain's DGT has clarified that the inspection frequency for camper vans depends on the vehicle's classification in the technical sheet. If a van over 10 years old is still registered as a commercial vehicle (category N), it must pass the ITV every six months. Owners should check the ITV card and update the classification after conversion.

Retired Couple from Mallorca Shares Reality of Living in a Motorhome: Freedom and Savings vs. Cramped Quarters

A retired couple from Mallorca has been living in a motorhome of about 10 square meters for five years. They save around 1,400 euros per month, cap fuel spending at 700 euros, and rely on solar panels for energy independence. However, the lack of space, the need for constant joint decisions, and technical breakdowns create tension in their relationship. The couple notes that Mallorca's humid climate was difficult for one of them, and the drier air during travels improved their well-being.

Spanish man shares costs of living in a camper van

Jesús, creator of the Viaja en tribu project, shared his experience of living in a six-meter camper van. His monthly expenses range from 300 to 500 euros, half the cost of maintaining an apartment. He noted that after selling his flat, his costs decreased, and life on wheels helped him overcome anxiety and depression. Jesús also warned about rising camper prices: his Fiat Ducato model increased from 50,000 to 80,000 euros.
