Chinese motorhome - here is the base of a pickup truck, not the trolley of an auto-rickshaw

The ideal motorhome is not a caravan trailer. You need a prepared car so you don’t have to mess around with this “add-on”. True, such a motorhome is not suitable for everyone. Firstly, you need to realize that the car will mostly be idle in the parking lot. Secondly, it's expensive. Thirdly, most models are created on a minibus chassis. And this is definitely a minus for cross-country ability. We would like an off-road vehicle, like the Ural. In extreme cases, KamAZ will do. But this is already expensive. Or you will have to bother with converting army trucks yourself. This takes time and a burning desire, which also often disappears.


What will the Chinese offer? They have Changan Peak View RV. This is a motorhome on a pickup truck chassis. An interesting car, especially considering that it is all-wheel drive. On the highway, by the way, you can disable the front axle and enjoy the savings. Moreover, the engine here is not a V8, but a simple turbodiesel with a volume of 2,4 liters. In China, this model can be purchased from 4 million rubles. In Russia it costs more than 7 million. Taxes, disposal fee, delivery, markup... In general, not much and expensive when compared with European and American-made models. And what is good about the Changan Peak View RV motorhome will be told on channel “808”.
