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.

Class C License for Motorhomes: Who Needs It and How to Get It

In Argentina, driving a motorhome requires a Class C license if its gross vehicle weight exceeds 3,500 kg. The process involves holding a prior license, completing a theoretical course on heavy vehicle driving, passing a psychophysical exam, and taking a practical test with an appropriate vehicle. Motorhomes weighing up to 3,500 kg only need a Class B license. If the vehicle is registered as a bus and not yet homologated as a motorhome, professional Class D licenses may be required.

Puerto Madryn expands parking ban for motorhomes and trailers in southern zone

The Deliberative Council of Puerto Madryn unanimously approved expanding the area where parking is prohibited for motorhomes, caravans, trailers, and towed vehicles, extending it southward. The amendment to Ordinance 12.708, which regulates parking and stays of such vehicles, follows a request from three neighborhood associations. They cited a progressive increase in large vehicles parked for extended periods on public spaces and boulevards, including Hansen Avenue, used by the community for walking, running, and cycling.
