During the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico, Argentine fans are selling their homes and taking out loans to purchase motorhomes to see Lionel Messi play live. Each motorhome costs between $20,000 and $50,000, and fans form convoys traveling up to 400 km per day along the Pan-American Highway. The vehicles are equipped with beds, kitchens, satellite TV and solar panels. One fan, 45-year-old truck driver Lorenzo Rodriguez, mortgaged his repair shop to buy a motorhome and set off with three friends.
