Nine Chinese government departments jointly issued policies to support the RV and camping industry, covering R&D, manufacturing, sales, conversion and camping infrastructure. After the announcement, RV sales in Chengdu exceeded 42 million yuan in 2025.

The average RV price has dropped from 600,000 to 400,000 yuan due to localized parts production, with domestic components costing one-third of imports while offering comparable performance.
In June 2026, China's Ministry of Commerce and eight other departments included RV camping as a key area in the automotive aftermarket consumption for the first time.
