Chinese immigrant in US promotes minivan-to-camper conversions for retirees
Original source: 世界新聞網

Chinese immigrant Jinjier, who has been involved in camper culture for over a decade, advocates converting ordinary minivans into budget campers for retired Chinese. He says at least 80% of participants in his travel groups are aged 55 or older or retired. Jinjier converted his own minivan, equipping it with a refrigerator, electrical system, microwave, induction cooker, and other amenities. He started a YouTube channel showing his conversion process and organized meetups that grew from a few vehicles to over 30. During trips, participants fish, visit hot springs, hold barbecues and campfires. Jinjier also reported that four couples aged over 55 have married through his activities.
