Classification of RVs

With the development of the economy, more and more people are playing RV in China, and various RV shows are emerging one after another. Sometimes everyone may be confused. Below I will make a summary of the RVs on the market. Integrated, I made a simple explanation of RV categories, hoping to help friends who are just about to play RV, to have a preliminary understanding of the classification of various types of RVs, and to find the RV that suits them.

According to the structure, it can be divided into: self-propelled, towed, off-road, and villa type.

According to the use, it can be divided into: household, commercial, two-door Use

The closest thing to our lives is the self-propelled RV. In a broad sense, self-propelled RV can be divided into two categories: camper vans and ordinary RVs according to whether they have a bathroom. Ordinary RVs can be divided into three types of RVs: A, B, and C according to different chassis

Type A: luxurious, large in area, similar to a bus (niche)

B Type: compact and flexible, with streamlined facilities. Commonly known as "camping van"

Type C: There is a sleeping area above the cockpit and a split-level living space in the cabin

Driver's license requirements: Driver's license This is something that everyone is more concerned about. Ordinary users, when they see the RV is so tall, they think it must not be driven by my C1 instinct. In fact, this is wrong. For RVs with a total length of less than 6 meters and a total mass of less than 4.5 tons, a C1 driver's license can drive them on the road. Generally, Both Type B and Type C RVs can meet this requirement. Type C RVs are currently the most commonly used RVs in the country.

Several key questions about RVs

What is a gray water tank? Black water tank? Purified water tank?

A gray water tank is a tank that collects ordinary wastewater, such as bathing water, vegetable washing water, etc. A black water tank is a tank that collects waste water discharged from toilets. The purified water tank is a water tank that stores drinking water and filtered water.

Where does the water in the RV come from?

RVs will have standard water collection tanks, so you can refill water at any time when driving out. If you need to travel far, you can also prepare water storage equipment or install a water tank.

How is hot water heated in an RV?

The hot water in the car is heated by diesel to provide hot water. Similar to a household gas water heater, diesel is drawn from the car fuel tank to burn and provide heat. After the campground is connected to water and electricity piles, it is heated by electricity.

How to deal with sewage from RV?

The sewage tank of the RV is on the chassis and can be connected to the sewer pipe of the campground for sewage discharge; or a mobile sewage tank can be taken out for sewage discharge.

Where does the electricity for the RV come from?

There are generally three types of electricity used in RVs: one is the battery, the other is the power supply generated after the engine is started, and the other is direct external 220V power. When the RV is driving, the engine will generate electricity to directly charge the RV battery. In addition, the RV can be powered by an external power supply at the camp site.

Quilts, clothes, toiletries, parasols or rain gear, sun hats, gloves, soft-soled shoes suitable for long-distance driving, etc. When traveling in spring and summer, you should try to choose some relaxed and comfortable clothes, and bring one or two sets of thick, long-sleeved, windproof clothes to prevent the temperature from plummeting at night.

Toiletries can be replenished on the road, so take as little as possible (storage space in RVs is limited). You can buy them at nearby supermarkets and shopping malls during the trip.

6. Medicines

Bandages, band-aids, disinfectants, anti-inflammatories, cold medicines, anti-motion sickness medicines, mosquito repellents, etc. Pay attention to the expiry date of any medicines you bring, and do not use expired medicines.
