Brazilian suffers burns in fire that destroyed motorhome in Argentina

Armed criminals stole a motorhome with a family inside in the Argentine city of Mar del Plata. The incident occurred on Monday evening on a highway when the father pulled over. Two children who were outside were left on the roadside but were later found safe by police. The stolen vehicle and trailer were located the next day in a vacant lot.

Armed robbers attacked a family from Mendoza in Mar del Plata after they stopped on Route 226. The assailants stole a Toyota Hilux pickup truck with an attached motorhome, which contained the victim's wife and two younger children. The two older sons, aged 11 and 8, were left on the roadside at night.

Motorhomes arriving in Ushuaia are exempt from paying for sewage discharge services. The free service is available at the Bahía Golondrina pre-treatment plant from Monday to Saturday. The measure aims to prevent illegal dumping in the city, where motorhomes are prohibited from overnight stays within the urban area.

Authorities have eliminated the fee for using the official wastewater dumping station for motorhomes. The measure aims to promote legal waste disposal and reduce environmental hazards.

A new tourism route designed for motorhome travelers has been introduced in Argentina's Mendoza province. The initiative aims to boost domestic tourism by providing dedicated infrastructure for this travel segment.

The Provincial Directorate of Sanitary Works and Services (DPOSS) in Ushuaia, Argentina, has exempted motorhome and caravan users from the dump station fee at the "Bahía Golondrina" pretreatment plant as of January 2026. The measure aims to incentivize the legal disposal of wastewater and prevent illegal dumping into storm drains or public streets. The free service also includes potable water refilling for these vehicles.
