Argentine Gustavo Peña is raffling off his motorhome, a converted 1970 Renault 4 van. Over four years, it traveled approximately 30,000 km across Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. The raffle will be held on April 16, with a minimum entry fee of 10,000 Argentine pesos.

The Belgian Van Reempts family faced a major setback during their trip to Argentina in a motorhome.
