Malaysia's Transport Ministry reported that as of July 2026, more than 1,450 recreational vehicles — including motorhomes, caravans and campervans — have been registered nationwide. The ministry officially recognises them as legal road vehicles and supports the segment as a growth niche for the automotive industry and domestic tourism. Local manufacturers and foreign investors are already setting up production plants. Vehicle financing is governed by the 1967 Hire-Purchase Act, with banks assessing applications based on market value and risk.
