travelycars

Vehicle built with special purpose, including housing accommodation and containing at least the following equipment: seats, table, beds or bunk beds that can be converted into seats, kitchen and cabinets or similar. This equipment will be rigidly fixed to the housing compartment: the seats and the table can be designed to be easily disassembled. "(RD 2822/1998, December 23, Annex II, Definitions and categories of vehicles). A motorhome is a vehicle special car for the transport of people The elements fixed to the chassis are considered part of the vehicle.

As a motor vehicle, only the Legislation on Traffic, Traffic and Road Safety (LTCSV), (RD 339/1990, of March 2), affects the circulation and parking on public roads. In urban roads, in addition, the rules dictated by Local Corporations tending to ensure an equitable distribution of parking spaces and prevent traffic jams (Art. 93.1).

Section 1 of Art. 93, "Municipal Ordinances" of the LTCSV says: "The regime of stop and parking on urban roads will be regulated by Municipal Ordinance, being able to take the necessary measures to prevent the obstruction of traffic, including time constraints of duration of the parking, as well as the precise corrective measures including the removal of the vehicle or its immobilization when it is not provided with a title that enables parking in limited areas in time or exceeds the authorization granted until the identification of the vehicle is achieved conductor (article 38 paragraph 4, of the articulated text) (46 bis) ".

This rule has as main objective to provide legal support to the municipalities for the creation of parking spaces with time limits (OTA, ORA) and the withdrawal or immobilization of a vehicle if necessary. The only objective that can justify complementary measures to articles 90 to 94 "General rules of stops and parking lots" of the LTCSV, on urban roads, is to prevent traffic jams.

Section 2 of the same article 93 clarifies: "In no case may municipal ordinances oppose, alter, distort or induce confusion with the provisions of this Regulation."

It can be deduced that no Local Corporation can limit or prohibit parking throughout the municipal territory, or in limited areas, simply by being a motorhome. Only to avoid the obstruction of traffic can limit the time, or size (width, length, gauge and PMA), to all vehicles in the same category.

Autonomous legislation prohibits camping only. There is no legal regulation that supports a sanction to a legally parked motorhome without deploying camping elements that overflow the perimeter of the vehicle.

​

In the absence of jurisprudence and supported by the definitions of camping of the SAR and the laws in force in other countries of the EEC, we can deduce that a motorhome legally occupying a parking space on public roads and without deploying any camping element that overflows the The perimeter of the vehicle, even if it is inhabited, does not acquire the condition of camping (illegal) and if it maintains that of inhabited (legal).

Being a vehicle enabled as a home, the motorhome can camp in authorized areas. Mainly in Tourism Camps (Camping). Camping conditions are the same as any other mobile hostel, be it a tent or caravan.

​

Free camping is prohibited throughout the Spain territory, especially in inhabited areas.

​

There are authorized areas in some Autonomous Communities and clubs can obtain temporary authorizations for controlled camping.

First of all a firm and educated attitude. Request from the agent local regulations that prohibit or limit parking to a motorhome.

​

They will have at their disposal in the vehicle a copy of articles 90 to 94 of the Code of Traffic Traffic and Traffic Safety Act (LTCSV), as well as of Annex II of RD 2822/1998. They will also have a document that defines the motorhome from a legal point of view that they can show to the agents. 

• First, ask the agent to indicate the regulations that prohibit parking for motorhomes.

• Record the correct parking situation in the complaint bulletin.

• If the regulations exist, request a copy for a later appeal.

• If the parking ban is indicated by a sign that does not exist in the official catalog, such as a pictogram with the silhouette of a motorhome, state this situation in the complaint bulletin.

• Take photographs, if possible, of the parking place and of the signs used to indicate the ban

• Check that we are not deploying any camping elements.

• Check that we are legally using a parking space on public roads.

• Indicate to the agent that there is no legal argument to define the situation of the motorhome as camping and that we consider that the motorhome is legally parked.

• Record this circumstance in the complaint bulletin

• Ask the agent to indicate the regulations by which he makes the complaint and to which agency he does it.

Each country has a different regulation on the situations of motorhomes, if you plan to travel outside of Spain, inform yourself before the corresponding legislation.

In Spain, the judgment of the Constitutional Court 17-02-1984 (RTC 1984/22), "The inviolability of the domicile is indifferent whether it is a civil domicile or a mere residence (...)" "Therefore the attached caravan to a motor vehicle or as an integral part of it - motorhome - that has in its habitable part all that is necessary, more or less, to make passengers' lodging effective, it is suitable to constitute the domicile of a person as basic support of the right to personal and family privacy, without the circumstance of being a moving vehicle in motion excludes such character ".

Article 48.1 a) of the General Traffic Regulations, approved by Royal Decree 1428/2003, of November 21 stipulates for cars the maximum speeds on roads outside the town according to the following wording:

Being “special vehicles of category M1” other than passenger cars, it is considered justified not to apply the same speed limits out of town as to this type of vehicles, but those corresponding to other vehicles of category M (destined to transport people), which would result in the following speed limits:

• On highways and expressways ...... 100 Km/h

• On conventional roads marked as roads for cars and roads with paved shoulder of at least 1.50 m. Width or more than one lane for any of the traffic directions ...... 90 Km/h

• In the rest of the out-of-town roads ...... 80 Km/h

These speed limits would apply to motorhomes that run without a trailer.
