In September, ten Chinese government departments issued measures to boost motorhome consumption, including extending the service life of rental motorhomes, promoting campsite construction and supporting product upgrades. Industry participants in Linyi, Shandong Province, call the 10-year extension the biggest benefit, but note that the sector faces a shortage of equipped campsites, declining profits for converters and uncertainty in the used market. A rental company owner said that for a fleet of 20 vehicles, extending service life from 15 to 25 years would cut annual fixed costs per vehicle from over 50,000 yuan to about 40,000 yuan, saving more than 200,000 yuan per year. A used motorhome dealer reported selling 5 units in September 2025 versus 18 a year earlier, and awaits clarification on whether the new term applies to already converted commercial vehicles.
