Chinese blogger's custom bus motorhome arrives at Tianjin conversion shop

China's RV and camping industry is entering a new phase, moving away from a model of material consumption toward cultural and emotional experiences. According to China Business News, traditional campsites and basic accommodations are losing customers, while projects offering unique scenarios, cultural activities, and wellness programs are gaining popularity. Camping prices have dropped significantly: for example, suburban boutique hotels have seen nightly rates fall from 2,000 yuan to 500 yuan, with average holiday occupancy below 45%. Experts note that the industry's key challenge has shifted from a lack of infrastructure to insufficient content and cultural authenticity, requiring differentiated offerings to boost repeat visits.

Chinese manufacturer Kaiyue has unveiled the Ningjie A68 (2026), a motorhome with an EREV (extended-range electric vehicle) powertrain. It features a 68 kWh traction battery, dual electric motors with a combined output of 270 kW (367 hp), and a combustion engine that acts solely as a generator, with no mechanical connection to the wheels. The claimed total range exceeds 800 km, including 120–150 km of pure electric driving. The large battery eliminates the need for gas cylinders for cooking and heating. However, the vehicle's weight is likely to exceed 3.5 tonnes, requiring a C1 truck license in Europe.
