Refine M3 Camper Conversion: Safety, Space, and Electrical Guide

Converting the Refine M3 into a camper is feasible but requires compliance with safety regulations. A owner verified the setup with a 2,500 km road trip (Guangdong–Hunan). Traffic police warn that the viral 500-yuan seat-removal conversion is illegal and insurance may refuse claims after accidents. Before conversion, measure the interior length to at least 2.5 meters. Electrical additions need dedicated circuits and professional installation. The Plus version, unveiled at the 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show, features a 2+2+2+3 nine-seat layout with extended rear length.

Chinese SUVs increasingly doubling as motorhomes as policy boosts camping economy

In June 2026, China's Ministry of Commerce and eight other agencies issued a notice that, for the first time, elevated the development of motorhome camping to the level of a national consumption stimulus strategy. The camping economy's core market is projected to reach 291.95 billion yuan in 2026, with related industries exceeding 1.62 trillion yuan. Automakers such as Huawei, Wuling, and Xiaomi are showcasing SUVs with motorhome features at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, including pop-up roofs, sleeping areas, and power supply systems. For instance, the Xiaomi Pengcheng N90 Max is classified as a 'plug-in hybrid cultural life service vehicle' with a factory-installed pop-up roof. Experts attribute the shift from traditional motorhomes to SUV conversions to restrictions on motorhome movement, parking difficulties, and inadequate infrastructure.
