Parral becomes a stop on national motorhome travel route

Creeper and Lidia from Jalisco sold their house three years ago and converted a 12-meter school bus into a motorhome, equipping it with solar panels, a kitchen, shower, toilet, bedroom, and a small laundry. They have visited Jalisco, Michoacán, Colima, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora, and Baja California, documenting their trips on social media. In Tijuana, the border wall made a strong impression on them. The couple does not plan to return to a conventional life and intends to continue traveling across Mexico, and in the future, beyond it by motorcycle.

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.

A severe storm in Hermosillo caused a power outage and fire risk for the motorhome of the couple known as Nudos Viajeros. Strong winds knocked a branch onto a transformer next to their vehicle, sparking flames. The couple quickly moved their motorhome and took temporary shelter at a nearby Oxxo store.

On Wednesday night, a motorhome was partially submerged by the tide on El Comitán beach in La Paz, surprising its occupants. No injuries were reported; bystanders assisted in removing the vehicle. The incident highlights the importance of monitoring tidal conditions before parking near the shoreline.

Deputy Gabriela Guadalupe Martínez Vázquez introduced a bill to regulate the circulation of off-road recreational vehicles in protected natural areas of San Luis Potosí. The initiative includes restricting ATVs and motorcycles in ecologically sensitive zones, creating a registry of service providers, establishing authorized routes, and mandatory training for operators. The bill does not ban adventure tourism but sets rules to balance recreation with conservation.

In the San Carlos neighborhood of Nogales, Sonora, private security personnel detained a man suspected of stealing from a motorhome.

He attempted to flee but was caught and handed over to municipal police. Daniel G., 48, was found in possession of two cell phones, an electric razor, and a wristwatch, identified by the owner.
