A mother in Shandong purchased a motorhome for 200,000 yuan and parked it in a park 700 meters from her son's school to accompany him during his studies. She claims the arrangement is more economical than renting: three years of nearby rent would exceed 200,000 yuan, while the motorhome can be resold for about half its purchase price after high school. Daily parking costs 10 yuan, solar panels cover basic electricity needs, and the son gains 20 extra minutes of sleep. Online commenters noted potential issues including winter heating, summer cooling, wastewater disposal, parking restrictions, and hidden costs such as depreciation and maintenance.

The vehicle features an EREV powertrain with a 1.5L turbo range extender, a 76 kWh battery, 1,705 km combined range, and fast charging that adds 285 km in 15 minutes. Both models are currently China-only.
