Equipment information for Argentina
 

Hi folks, I need some informantion about what equipmrnt is required in a vehicleby the Argentine goverment.
I know someone out there will know this even though this is not motorcycle related.
We are preparing for a trip from Brazil to Peru starting on Feb 20 and need to have the trucks equipted.
I know that 2 tringle flags and first aid kit are required and something about a tow cable, but what else is required.

Thanks in advance;

Fire extinguisher....unless you're on a bike

Nada en especial
 

I think that argentinian laws are relaxed in bikes safety regulations.
Remember if you are coming down the ruta 14 corrupt cops will tell you diferent.
Only insurance and a valid drivers license is required.(international better)
Buen viaje

Clearification
 

Will will be making the trip by pick-up and not motorcycle.
Thanks for the Route 14 tip but we will be heading west on 16.

Equipment
 

Hi KH, we will be in 3/4 ton or less.
I heard something about a tow chain, cable or hook??? Got an idea as to what this is?

Thanks;

Only for comercial trucks
 

we have a 3,5 tons Mercedes truck.Privatley registered not for comerial use.
So nothing of a towing rope etc.But its not a bad idea to have one.They sell those kinetic towing ropes.A showel is a handy thing to have too.
I think you can ask better here

You need a white linen in some states so that you can be covered if you die but..nobody will bother you in Buenos Aires if you dont wear a helmet...amazing Argentina =):eek3:
