Shanxi Launches RV Tour Along Three Tourist Highways

On August 17, in Hubei Province, a father and daughter were forced to camp in the wilderness after their motorhome broke down on the road. The vehicle suddenly stalled, leaving them stranded. They spent the night in a tent awaiting assistance. Details of the incident are still emerging.

From August 22 to 24, the Shanghai RV and Camping Expo will feature the Yuesheng T8, a camper built on the Ford Transit T8 chassis with a 2.3-liter diesel engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. It is classified as a blue-plate vehicle and can be driven with a standard C license. The interior includes two electrically adjustable seats with ventilation and heating, a 52-liter refrigerator, a 38.5-inch TV, and a fold-down bunk bed, along with a kitchen module with an induction cooktop.

On August 16, 2026, Weihang RV opened its direct store (Western Experience and Delivery Center) in Chengdu, located at No. 111 Checheng West 2nd Road, Longquanyi District, within the Western Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park. At the event, the Chengdu Weihang RV Owners Club was launched, and the new Jaguar MAX motorhome made its market debut. The store will integrate display, experience, sales, delivery, after-sales support, and owner community operations, marking a strategic step in the brand's expansion into the southwestern China market.

In Liaoning Province, China, parents born in the 1990s linked several campers into a mini train to take their children for rides. The kids sit in the trailers, eliminating the need for adults to carry them and allowing a slow view of the surroundings.

Sina published a comparison of three routes for a five-day motorhome camping trip in summer 2026. For families with children, the Hubei summer resort loop is recommended, where the Jizigou highway station in Shennongjia offers free parking and water, with showers costing 10 yuan. Beginners and those who dislike heat are advised to take the Hainan island loop with a daily distance of 80–100 km. Photographers are directed to the Qinghai-Gansu loop with an average daily distance of about 300 km. It is noted that campsite reservations should be made at least 7 days in advance during summer.

Owners of the Leapmotor T03 are converting the compact electric vehicle into a camper. With the rear seats folded, cargo volume expands to 508 liters, accommodating an 8 cm thick mattress. According to owner reports, people up to 170 cm tall can sleep fully stretched out, while those up to 180 cm must bend their legs. A pad is needed to level the step between the folded seat and the trunk floor. A split mattress is recommended, and modifying the front seat rails can increase sleeping length.
