Motorhome with valid permit can still be detained at customs
Original source: San Diego Red | Noticias, cultura y gastronomía de Cali-Baja

Mexican customs authorities may detain a motorhome even if the owner has a valid Banjercito permit, if the document does not list attached vehicles. According to regulations, the permit covers only the motorhome, and additional vehicles are considered illegally imported. Owners are advised to update their permits and list all vehicles to avoid confiscation and administrative procedures.

How to Homologate Your Motorhome and Hit the Road in Argentina

In Argentina, all motorhomes and towed caravans must be officially homologated to travel on public roads. The process requires two key licenses: the Model Configuration License (LCM) from the Ministry of Economy and the Environmental Configuration License (LCA) from the Secretariat of Tourism, Environment and Sports. For self-built or small-scale manufactured vehicles, owners must obtain a Vehicle Safety Certificate (CSV), with the controlling authority depending on whether the vehicle's weight is under or over 750 kilograms.

Legality of Living and Registering in a Motorhome or Camper Van

Living in a motorhome or camper van is possible, but registering it as a permanent residence is problematic. The law permits temporary habitation inside the vehicle, but permanent registration requires a fixed address, which contradicts mobility. An exception is possible if social services classify the motorhome as substandard housing, yet obtaining a residential permit for private land is also challenging due to housing regulations.
