Three best places for summer camping in the grassland in 2026 named

The article names three locations in China for grassland camping in 2026: the surroundings of Jining District in Ulanqab (a motorhome camp with 18°C and 15 minutes to a tertiary hospital), Gongbaolag Grassland in Taipus Banner (flat terrain and county hospital linkage), and the Ulanbutong Scenic Area (Red Cross station with AED and oxygen equipment). For families with children, Taipusi is recommended; for young couples, Ulanqab; for the elderly, Ulanbutong. The article provides data on costs (100 yuan per day for a motorhome spot in Ulanqab), distances to hospitals, and camp facilities.

China: Motorhome rental market grows as prices drop and government support increases

The average rental price for motorhomes in China has fallen by 20–30% year-on-year, with orders rising in popular tourist destinations. In Xinjiang and Yunnan, motorhome rentals increased by 50%. The government's 15th Five-Year Plan includes support for motorhome camping, and three cities (Yangzhou, Qingdao, Lanzhou) have been selected as pilot cities for auto consumption reform. Experts caution that buying a motorhome requires careful calculation: using it 30 days a year results in daily costs of about 2,200 yuan, comparable to a five-star hotel room.

Chery launches first motorhome on light truck chassis — Reve N6 Pro

Chery has introduced its first motorhome built on a light truck chassis, the Reve N6 Pro. Based on the Sinotruk Howo Tongshuai Pro platform, it features an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 200-litre fuel tank, giving a range of up to 1600 km. Dimensions are 5998×2550×3290 mm, allowing it to be driven with a standard B-class licence. Standard equipment includes a 400-litre fresh water tank, a 150-litre grey water tank, a 25.6 V 628 Ah lithium battery (approx. 16 kWh, expandable to 32 kWh) and 2480 W of solar panels. The recommended price is 378,000 yuan.

Third mature RV shell manufacturing method gains traction

Chinese RV manufacturers face assembly issues with large bodies: leaks, misalignment, and excess weight. As an alternative to stamped metal and fiberglass (FRP), thick-sheet thermoforming is proposed. Zhejiang Liansu, with 12 automated lines, offers two options: one-piece forming for standard RVs (up to 4×2×1.1 m) and modular assembly for oversized shells. One-piece forming from ABS or PC+ASA eliminates leaks and halves fitting time; the modular version uses sealed locks and CNC machining with ±0.1 mm accuracy.
