In Brief

A group of 12 RVs departed from Xi'an for a journey of over 40,000 km through 30 countries. The organizer, Old John International RV Club, says this is the eighth such expedition since 2016. Return is planned for September 2025.

12 RVs have set off on an expedition across 30 Eurasian countries. The group started from Xi'an, China. The organizer, Old John International RV Club, reported that this is the eighth such tour since 2016. The route spans over 40,000 km, with return scheduled for September 2025.

Participants are mostly retirees traveling in their own RVs. They cook their own meals and stay at campsites or hotel parking lots. For entry into European countries, a Schengen visa and vehicle documents are sufficient, thanks to expanded visa-free policies.

Earlier, European automotive media reported on a Chinese RV with a two-story layout and hybrid powertrain. The model, about 6 meters long, includes a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and a fold-out roof terrace. Equipment includes a 300-liter water tank, solar panels, and an inverter. The price is around €50,000, but regulatory approval is needed for EU sales.
