    As the largest, highest-level, and most influential RV and camping exhibition in Asia, this event has successfully been held eight times to date. Each edition has earned high praise from industry professionals. Covering an area of over 50,000 square meters, this edition features more than 500 RVs from both China and abroad, attracting over 50,000 visitors, setting a record for scale among Asian RV shows.

    After eight editions, the exhibition has become an indispensable promotional platform for both domestic and international RV brands seeking to enter the Chinese market. It is also the top choice for overseas RVs entering China and the best platform for the RV industry and camping culture to seek business cooperation, exerting influence across the entire industry chain.

    The exhibition brings together self-propelled and towable RVs, chassis, parts, camping supplies, outdoor equipment, and campgrounds from well-known domestic and international brands. From RVs to airplanes and yachts, to high-end leisure travel equipment, it offers a grand “land, sea, and air” feast, greatly meeting the communication and negotiation needs of exhibitors and camping enthusiasts.

    This edition attracted participation from over 300 RV companies worldwide. The response was enthusiastic, with an exceptionally high level of interest among exhibitors. Numerous brands showcased high-quality RVs to Chinese consumers in all dimensions. The show floor not only featured frequent new model launches but also saw promotion deals reach new heights, with several models making their first appearance in China. These brands are poised to seize early opportunities in future market competition. Additionally, the exhibition included popular leisure and sports products related to RVs, such as campgrounds, self-driving tours, private aircraft, and off-road gear.
