Pickup-to-motorhome conversions face legal risks on roads

Vietnamese authorities warn of legal and safety issues in converting pickups into motorhomes. Under Circular No. 39 of the Ministry of Transport, a detachable cabin on the truck bed is allowed if it does not alter dimensions or structure. However, built-in amenities like beds, kitchens, and toilets may be deemed illegal modifications requiring re-registration. Additionally, the raised center of gravity affects vehicle handling.

Trend of converting pickup trucks into mobihomes and legal risks on the road

In Vietnam, converting pickup trucks into mobile homes (mobihome) with beds, kitchens, and solar panels is gaining popularity. Legal experts note that installing removable modules is not prohibited but requires compliance with size and weight regulations; otherwise, the vehicle may be considered modified.

Pickup trucks with 'mobile homes': legal notes

Vietnamese families are increasingly converting pickup trucks and minibuses into mobile homes for travel, spending from 1.5 to 2 billion VND. However, such modifications require strict compliance with the law: unauthorized structural changes can lead to a fine of up to 150 million VND, revocation of the vehicle inspection certificate, and an order to restore the vehicle to its original condition. If the module is attached without altering the body and does not exceed dimensions/weight, it is considered cargo; otherwise, an official conversion procedure with certification is required.

Hanoi family spends over 2 billion VND on a motorhome for cross-Vietnam trips 3-5 times a year

Nguyen Ngoc Thang's family from Hanoi invested over 2.3 billion VND in building a motorhome based on a truck chassis. Their first attempt, converting a 16-seat minibus, cost 600 million VND but proved insufficient for long journeys. In 2023, they completed a 13 sq. meter motorhome with solar power, 600 liters of water capacity, and sleeping space for 5-6 people. The family now takes 3-5 cross-Vietnam trips annually, each lasting up to a month. A 60-day journey from Hanoi to Phu Quoc and back is planned for June 2025.

Family travels 1,300 km with Truck Camper: first experience and conclusions

Pham Xuan Thanh from Lam Dong completed a three-week trip from Lam Dong to Quang Ninh using a pickup with a Truck Camper, covering over 1,300 km. The first 20 km were frightening due to the unfamiliar handling with a 700–800 kg load, but after adaptation the journey became easier. The Truck Camper allows stopping anywhere but requires suspension upgrades (25–30 million VND) and is not a substitute for a hotel for families with children.
