RV is getting cheaper and cheaper. Why do we still say it is a big toy for the rich?

When it comes to big toys like cars, I think of off-road vehicles first, followed by RVs. I believe many consumers understand the former, after all, the cost of modifying off-road vehicles is really not low. But for the RV, many people think it is not true. After all, the RV in the automobile market is getting cheaper and cheaper now. For example, the RV owned by SAIC MAXUS, which was seen at the auto show before, also has 200,000 to 300,000 products, which are not expensive for millions. In that case, why is the RV still called the big toy of the rich in China?

Today we will talk about it from three aspects. Why do we still say that the RV is a big toy for the rich?

The first aspect: the starting price of a good RV is not low.

Many people think that RV is cheap only because the starting price of some domestic RVs is particularly low. But when you really plan to buy it, you will find that this kind of RV is far from your imagination. For the simplest example, you should live in an RV. Some cheap RV beds are really uncomfortable, either too narrow or too short, which is really inconvenient. Even if you want to convert an entry-level RV into what you want, the price of this car is basically 400,000-500,000. So the price of the RV is actually not low. As for some slightly better RVs, the price is even higher. Besides, there are many words here. Don't just look at the price when buying a car, otherwise it will be easily cheated, and the maintenance cost of the RV is not low.

The second point: RV camp is not cheap.

In fact, as I said before, there are relatively few RV camps in China and the environment is average, but even so, the cost is not low. Of course, some particularly good RV camps are not excluded. But for some consumers who buy cars just to save money, you may think a little too much. At least among the RV owners I have personally contacted, I have never heard anyone say that it is cheaper to drive an RV to go out and play than to drive an MPV to stay in a hotel. After careful calculation, you will find that your cheap RV may just be spent. So if the conditions are average, don't consider going to road trip with an RV. After all, an RV is different from an RV. Don't look at how good some videos on the Internet are. For consumers who don't often go to road trip, the RV is sometimes a bit tasteless. In addition, before buying a car and going out to play, I suggest you know more about the cost of car maintenance and car use. Don't think that buying a car will cost money.

The third point: the depreciation rate is too high.

When you finally realize that the RV is not suitable for you, when you want to sell the car, the depreciation rate of the RV will give you another blow. RV is not only expensive to maintain, but also has a high depreciation rate, at least much higher than you think. As for some car owners, they said that their RV maintenance rate is also quite high. Let's see what brand the other car is. Some good RVs do have a good rate of preservation, but the starting price of such RVs is not affordable for ordinary consumers. Therefore, before buying a house or a car, these issues should be considered clearly. Of course rich people don't care.

To tell the truth, unless you plan to travel around the country, or you have nothing to do, driving an RV all day is not for you. For most car owners who occasionally go out to road trip, a large-space SUV or MPV is actually a better choice. Wouldn't it be nice to stay in a hotel with the money saved? ?
