Domestic small RVs on the rise
By:Zheng Qian  |  From:english.eastday.com  |  2018-10-19 17:29

The 12th China International Automobile Commodities Fair was held at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) recently. One of the most popular products were top-of-the-line small sized motor homes.

The motor homes exhibits were all of domestic brands priced between RMB 200,000 and 500,000. Compared with the imported motor homes, these locally made ones are more cost-effective.

Aunt Zhang is in her 60s this year. She is a little excited to see these reasonably-priced vehicles,“It is a dream of my husband and I’s to drive a family car to travel, but when we were young, we didn’t have enough time or money. Now it’s different.”

Mr Wang who is stricter with the performance aspect of recreational vehicles has seen three such exhibitions in a month. In his opinion, the RV products shown at this fair are a bit simple and lack entertainment facilities. He expects an RV should have a KTV system.

At present, China's RV market is not very large. The main limiting factors include parking difficulties, inadequate facilities in RV parking camps, and unclear traffic regulations.

However, the market is indeed experiencing rapid development. Mr. Gao, who is selling vehicles at the fair, said that the company he is working for has achieved record sales of more than 100 RVs in Shanghai last year, and among those customers, 30-40 year-old people accounted for only 20%, while 40-60 year-olds accounted for 60%.
