Camper van travel demonstrates importance of resource efficiency
Original source: El Motor

Traveling in a camper van during Easter week demonstrated that efficient use of limited resources becomes a key challenge. Water, electricity, and gas are constrained in such trips: standard tanks hold 100-150 liters, while electricity depends on solar panels or the alternator. Fuel consumption for these heavy vehicles can exceed 10 liters per 100 km, requiring economical driving style.

Motorhome parking: what changes on October 1

Royal Decree 518/2026, effective October 1, amends the General Traffic Regulations and introduces Article 92.4, which explicitly distinguishes parking from camping. A vehicle is considered parked if it does not extend beyond its perimeter, rests only on its tires, and does not discharge any fluids. This limits municipalities' ability to fine based solely on vehicle type, while regional tourism laws and the Coastal Law remain in force.

Couple lives in motorhome on 100 euros a week for four years

Spanish couple Juanma and Tony have lived in a 5 m² motorhome for nearly four years, spending about 100 euros per week. They bought the vehicle for 8,000 euros and invested 3,000 euros in repairs. The motorhome features a fold-down bed, a 21-liter dry toilet, a 200 Ah lithium battery, and a 400 W solar panel. For cooking, they use gas, consuming two butane bottles per year. The couple says this lifestyle has reduced stress and improved their health.
