A major problem with “RV” is the height limit. Basically, the height of C-type RVs exceeds 3m, and it is difficult to pass the height limit in many cities. Therefore, many people will choose B-type RVs, or RVs with lifting functions. But this is a big discount for RV self-driving tours. The caravan I introduced to you today is very ingeniously designed. Its height is limited to 2.5m, and it has not lost the various functions of self-driving tours. Can this caravan capture your heart? Let’s take a look!
Model Appearance
From the appearance, this RV should belong to the category of “T” RV. The design of the forehead has been reduced, and the connection between the streamlined shape and the vehicle box is relatively smooth, which can greatly reduce the wind resistance during driving.
One of the highlights of this car is that the height is within 2.5m. Many people will ask, is the space small? For this RV, the space will not be too small, because it is designed with a raised roof, which can expand some rest space from the top when parking.
The car is refitted from the chassis of Ford’s new Transit. Friends who may pay attention to the chassis of light vehicles know that the performance of the chassis of the new Transit is relatively superior. In addition, most riders choose the new Transit chassis because of its LOGO. Ford brand sedans run a lot on the road. Although its influence is not as great as that of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the name Ford still has a certain weight in people’s hearts. Therefore, choosing a RV with this chassis will look more high-end when driving out. The atmosphere is upscale.
In terms of lighting, the car’s high and low beams use halogen light sources, and fog lights are equipped below. This can get a good view when driving in rainy weather. A 300w solar panel is installed in the lifting area of the roof, which can better supply power to the battery in the car.
The connection between the body box and the chassis looks a bit rough, which may be the reason why there is no garland. I hope the manufacturer can optimize this point. Three windows are designed on the left side of the vehicle body, which play a key role in ventilation and light transmission in the vehicle. A storage compartment is also designed at the rear, where some luggage items can be placed. The tire size of the car is 215/75R16LT, the minimum ground clearance is 141mm, the wheelbase is 3300mm, and the total mass is 3300mm.
The overall size of this caravan is 5990×2150×2499mm. As I said at the beginning, the size of the car is well controlled to within 2.5m, and it can basically pass most height restrictions. The driving mode of the car is front-wheel drive, and its suspension system is a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear leaf spring non-independent suspension. The number of people in the car is 5, which meets the driving requirements of the blue card C license.
The rear of the car body looks smooth and monotonous. You can design garland or brand LOGO at this position, which will make it look more comfortable. High-mount brake lights are designed above the rear of the car, and there are also warning lights on both sides to improve driving safety. The rear is also equipped with a reversing image camera, and the rear situation can be viewed through the central control display when reversing.
The right side of the body is the main external functional area, and the water injection port, mains connection, and gas port are all designed to this position. There is also a storage compartment at the rear, where some luggage items can be placed.
The right side of the body is also designed with red and black car strips, which looks simple and stylish.
In addition, the right side of the body is also equipped with a manual sunshade, which can build a good rest area when parking. There is also an outdoor lighting under the sunshade, which can also be used at night.
cockpit
The cockpit is still Ford’s style, the design is still so stylish, and various functions are arranged in an orderly manner. The seat is covered with woven fabric, and the comfort is not bad.
The steering wheel lacks a bit of modern taste, and there are no multi-function buttons. But the grip is still good.
Another highlight of the car is that it is equipped with a 6AT automatic transmission imported from the United States, and the shape of the gear lever follows the design of the Ford car. In terms of power, it uses a Ford 2.0T Eco Boost turbocharged gasoline engine with a maximum horsepower of 202 horsepower and a maximum speed of 156km/h.
The center console is designed with a large-screen display, which supports functions such as navigation, reversing image, and radio, and the page display is still good.
Below the display screen are a number of physical buttons, the volume adjustment and the square lights are all designed to this position. Similar to a traditional car, the operation is very convenient.
The air-conditioning button is also designed below, which is more convenient to use.
interior layout
Above the cockpit is a larger sunroof, which can also be opened. At the same time, multiple storage compartments are also designed in this area, where some small items that are convenient to take can be placed.
The lighting design is also relatively warm and comfortable, with great personality. At the same time, the skylight also has the functions of anti-mosquito and sunshade, which is very practical.
The front half of the car is mainly composed of two functional areas, the cockpit and the living room. The sense of space is not bad, and the interior lighting design of the vehicle is very good, giving people a warm feeling.
The second half is divided into three functional areas: kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The interior design style with staggered shades is adopted as a whole, and the workmanship of the furniture seams is very fine, which is worthy of your praise.
The rear of the cockpit is the reception area, which is mainly equipped with an “L”-shaped sofa and a lift table. The seat is also covered with a mixed material of woven fabric and leather, which fits the body better. The dining table can also be adjusted in four directions.
The liftable dining table and card seat sofa can be spliced together to form a bed, and the main and co-pilot can also be rotated around, and the rest area has also increased a lot.
In addition to the sofa and lift table, the reception area is also equipped with a car LCD TV that can change the angle freely. There are two storage cabinets next to it, where you can place some things that are easy to take. At the same time, a viewing window is designed in the reception area, which has the function of anti-mosquito and sunshade.
On the opposite side of the reception area is the passenger door. The upper part of the passenger door is designed with a privacy curtain, and the lower part is designed with a small storage space, which can be used as a trash can. There is also a handrail on the side of the passenger door, which is convenient for children or the elderly to get on the bus. At the top of the passenger door is the control panel, which uses physical buttons. Here you can control the lights in the car. In terms of circuit, the car is equipped with a 300ah battery and a 2000w inverter as standard. At the same time, it supports the optional 520ah battery and various power assemblies. Completely solve the electricity consumption problem of riders. Behind the co-pilot is a wardrobe with a symmetrical design, where clothes can be hung to avoid wrinkles.
Below is a 50L RV refrigerator, which has refrigeration and freezing functions, and can place some vegetables and fruits to keep them fresh.
Behind the passenger door is the kitchen area, and the operating space is not bad. It is mainly equipped with kitchen facilities such as gas stoves, faucets, sinks, and lockers. There is also a locker designed above, where some tableware or condiments can be placed.
The kitchen countertop is made of marble, and the visual effect is very textured. Both the stove and the vegetable sink are designed with a cover, which increases the usable area of the desktop. The faucet adopts an independent design, and can also be replaced with a direct drinking faucet, which can be directly connected to a pure water bucket, which can effectively improve the water storage function of the vehicle.
The gas stove is divided into two, which can be used at the same time. There is a gas port on the outside, which can be used to inflate the gas in the car.
At the rear of the car is a horizontal bed with a size of 2000×1200mm. The material of the mattress is latex, and the comfort is good.
A number of lockers are designed above the bed, where some clothes can be placed, which greatly improves the space storage function of the RV. In addition, windows are designed on both sides of the rear of the car to reduce the oppression of passengers, and at the same time can effectively ventilate and transmit light.
Above the bedroom is a liftable bed with a size of 1800×1200mm, which can effectively increase the resting space for an adult.
bathroom
In the middle of the reception area and the bedroom is the bathroom area of the car. The bathroom adopts a wet and dry integrated design.
There are still many configurations inside the bathroom, including a rotatable toilet, an integrated washbasin, a vanity mirror, windows and storage compartments. In terms of water channels, the car comes standard with an 80L clean water tank, a 50L gray water tank and a 20L gray water tank. black water tank. At the same time, bottled water for direct drinking is also provided as standard.
LED lights are designed above the bathroom to give the bathroom better lighting. Above are two lockers, which can be used to store a change of clothes to avoid being soaked in water.
Summarize
Through the above explanation of the editor, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of this car. For this RV, you must have your own opinions, and you can discuss it in the comments. Let me talk about my own opinion first. From the appearance point of view, the design of this car can be said to not only effectively solve the problem of height limit, but also not lose the driving experience of the car. However, the appearance of the garland is a bit monotonous, which needs to be optimized. As for the interior, due to the consideration of the height limit, there must be a certain loss of space, so it is normal for the interior space to be a bit crowded, but the various functional areas of the vehicle are still in place. The collocation, design, and configuration of the entire interior are also considered to be superior, which is worthy of praise. In this RV, the editor thinks that a family of three is the most suitable number of people to travel. If there are too many people, it will be crowded, and if there are few people, it will be wasteful. Let’s talk about its price. According to the editor’s understanding, this RV is divided into two versions. The guide price of the elite version is 369,800, and the guide price of the flagship version is 499,800. Two versions, two configurations. This is relatively easy to accept for most riders.
