The greatest happiness in life is perhaps traveling across the country with family in an RV, admiring the magnificent landscapes as the sun rises and sets. According to surveys, there are currently over 20,000 RVs in China, around 200 RV campsites, and approximately 1,000 more under planning and construction. While these numbers have significantly increased compared to previous years, China’s RV market is still immature compared to more developed international markets and remains in the exploratory stage. To promote RV culture and advance the development of the RV market, the Jiangling Ford Camp exhibited 25 high-end Jiangling Ford RVs at the Alxa Heroes Rally held from October 1st to 3rd. These uniquely styled and powerful RVs provided millions of visitors with an exhilarating experience, earning an excellent reputation.
The Majestic Jiangling Ford Camp Impresses at the Alxa Heroes Rally with Its Stunning Array of RVs
With the emergence of new travel trends, self-driving tours have become a new fashion, and RV travel has increasingly become the top choice for many tourists. Combining the functions of both “home” and “vehicle,” RVs offer the greatest advantages of comfort and convenience. They allow travelers to cook, entertain, and bathe inside the vehicle, greatly enhancing the quality of travel life and truly realizing a new way of living — “living while traveling, and traveling while living.”
As a key partner of the 13th Alxa Heroes Rally in 2018, Jiangling Ford brought 25 high-end RVs to the event, showcasing them together in the 10,000-square-meter “Jiangling Ford Camp,” creating a grand exhibition and sales event for Jiangling Ford light-duty campers. These RVs were modified from the Ford Transit New, Ford Transit New Generation, and Jiangling Transit, all ranking at the top in terms of quality and performance within their class. The Ford Transit has been a bestseller for over 50 years since its launch in 1965, earning recognition and trust from over 8 million customers globally and becoming the choice of more than 600,000 customers in China. It has consistently been the sales leader in the European-style light-duty passenger vehicle market. Meanwhile, the Jiangling Transit, as a rising star in the light-duty vehicle segment, is also outstanding. With its excellent qualities summarized as “more features, faster, better, and more economical,” it sold 35,000 units in just eight months after its launch, setting a sales legend of one new vehicle sold every 15 minutes. Its sales have continued to climb over the past year, making it the NO.1 in the domestic European-style light-duty passenger vehicle market.
All RVs in the “Jiangling Ford Camp” were meticulously modified by 11 of China’s largest and most qualified RV modification factories, including Shandong Juwei Automobile, Free Flying RV, Sui Feng RV, Jiangling RV, Lingyang RV, Hunan Xingtong, Hubei Shunyu, Beijing Huanda, Qufeng Special Vehicles, Shanghai Shunlv, and Hangzhou Jianggai. These RVs are equipped with gas systems, water supply and drainage systems, imported parts, and eco-friendly furniture, greatly meeting users' daily needs for cooking, bathing, and leisure. Truly, one RV is like a “mobile home,” impressing millions of visitors at the Alxa Heroes Rally.
Interpreting a New Way of Travel Life, Jiangling Ford RVs Earn Excellent Reputation
All the Jiangling Ford RVs exhibited this time are compliant with China’s National V emission standards, can be registered with blue plates, and are drivable with a C1 license. Built on either Ford or Jiangling Transit chassis, their outstanding quality and performance make them capable of handling any road condition. Whether navigating through cities or driving in the suburbs, they deliver an exhilarating driving experience. Visitors to the Alxa Heroes Rally had an up-close and intimate “date” with the Jiangling Ford RVs. After experiencing their excellent quality, high-end interiors, and well-designed functional zones, they were full of praise.
RVs can be divided into self-powered motorhomes and non-powered towable trailers. Motorhomes are travel vehicles built on a car chassis and integrated with it as a whole. All the RVs exhibited in the “Jiangling Ford Camp” are motorhomes. On-site staff stated: “Visitors who came to experience the RVs paid particular attention to power, space, and interior design. Jiangling Ford RVs all feature powerful engines and durable chassis with superior off-road capabilities, which are very important for RV travel enthusiasts. Moreover, the spacious interiors, high-end interiors, and perfectly designed zones provide passengers with a comfortable experience, greatly enhancing the joy of travel.”
The “Most Popular RV” that received the most votes during the event was the Ford Transit New Generation rear dual-tire small-front RV modified by Free Flying. This RV is equipped with a 2.2T diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, offering excellent handling that allows drivers to fully enjoy the thrill of RV travel. Its more agile and stylish small front roof features smooth lines and low wind resistance, improving vehicle stability and safety. The rear dual-tire design provides greater stability, adding an extra layer of safety to driving.
The interior structure is perfectly zoned, divided from front to back into the driving area, lounge area, kitchen, resting area, and bathroom. A 4-person height-adjustable dining table in the middle of the carriage serves both visiting and dining functions. The kitchen area near the mid-door is equipped with an induction cooker, sink, and refrigerator, meeting daily cooking and food preservation needs. At the rear of the vehicle, a fixed extendable bed can be transformed into a 1400*2100 double bed with simple operation, while a 2000*1350mm double bed can be deployed with the press of a button above the forehead area, forming a layout with two double beds. The bathroom includes a toilet, showerhead, vanity mirror, toilet paper holder, towel rack... All essential features are present, along with a large 120L freshwater tank to meet everyday washing needs.
In terms of interior decor, the elegant and dignified Amali Snow Cherry interior exudes luxury, paired with fine-textured yellow oak for a simple, natural, fresh, and comfortable feel. Warm and cozy ambient lighting creates a homely atmosphere. Many visitors commented after their experience: “We loved all the RVs in the Jiangling Ford Camp.
