Z9 pop-top camper van unveiled at Chengdu RV show

Motorhome owners, primarily retirees from northern Chinese provinces, are wintering in Xiamen due to its mild climate. They park at city park lots, such as Bailuzhou and Songyang. Travelers cite convenient public transport and safety, but note a lack of dedicated campgrounds with water and electricity hookups.

Changan has launched the RV, a 4x4 motorhome based on the Lantuozhe pickup in China. The model features a fixed living compartment with kitchen, bathroom, and solar power system. It is listed from around $40,000 on Chinese e-commerce platforms, though direct imports to markets like Spain are not yet recommended.

Shenzhen authorities have banned motorhomes from parking in all municipal park lots across the city. The decision followed numerous resident complaints about long-term occupancy, misuse of charging stations, and wastewater disposal issues. Owners are directed to paid campsites, which are significantly more expensive than the former park rates.

The annual awards for the RV and camping industry have launched in China. The competition is organized by media platforms 21 Century RV, RV Family, and RV World, with support from industry associations. Categories include awards for RV brands, dealer brands, and component brands. The awards ceremony will be held in March 2026 at the Beijing International RV Camping Exhibition.

A used Jinghang Weihao motorhome built on an Iveco Daily chassis has been listed for sale. The 2020 model has 77,000 km on the odometer, accommodates 5 people, and is powered by a 3.0T diesel engine with an automatic transmission. Key features include a 1200Ah lithium battery, solar panels, air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a full bathroom.

Maoming city in China has become a popular winter destination for motorhome owners due to its warm climate. Travelers from northern China seasonally migrate south, utilizing local campsites like Gomeihai Park and Shuidongwan Wetland Park.
