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 has introduced its first motorhome built on a light truck chassis, the Reve N6 Pro.

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.

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.
