In Brief

AEMA-ITV has published clarifications on passing the ITV for tourist vehicles. Inspection intervals differ for motorhomes, caravans and campers.

The AEMA-ITV association has published clarifications on passing the technical inspection (ITV) for different types of tourist transport. For motorhomes (category M), the frequency matches that of passenger cars: first inspection after 4 years, then every 2 years up to 10 years, then annually. Caravans (trailers) over 750 kg pass ITV for the first time after 6 years, then every 2 years. Campers (vans category N1) — first inspection after 2 years, then at 4 and 6 years, then annually up to 10 years, then every six months. Special attention is paid to documentation on conversions, including gas equipment.

According to another source, in Spain the ITV rules have been updated, applying differently to motorhomes (category M) and campers (category N). Motorhomes pass the first ITV 4 years after registration, then every 2 years, and after 10 years annually. Campers are required to pass ITV annually from registration, and after 10 years every 6 months, increasing costs and time. Sources differ on camper frequency: according to AEMA-ITV, first inspection after 2 years, then at 4 and 6 years, while the other source says annually from registration.

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.
