I changed the RV for my uncle! Datong V80 short shaft center top

The year before last, my uncle told me that he drove his CRV to many places. Last year, he told me that he wanted to get a RV for travel. Compared with SUVs, the advantages of RVs are irresistible.

As an old man who has retired for more than two years, buying a RV is indeed an embarrassing thing. If you buy a good one, you will think whether it is too good to play for a few years and waste it. If you buy a bad one, you don’t feel very reliable. After talking a lot, I understood what he meant. It has the functions of a caravan, but it costs the least money. To sum up, his requirements are simple, practical and cost-effective.

I ordered a small passenger without announcement, Chase V80 short axle center top, four seats, I chose four seats because the elderly don’t need too many seats for travel, space is the first, as the earliest owners of Chase V80, I am very happy Datong also knows a little more about all aspects, so we ordered a beggar version of the six-speed manual short-axis center top.

Chase’s current faults are mainly concentrated on the fragile clutch plate, the design defect of the dual-mass flywheel, and the easy blockage of the DPF particle catcher (this is related to driving habits). AMT caravan), others I think are acceptable.

Uncle’s request is simple, the ventilation sunroof can be ventilated, the horizontal bed can sleep, the shower can take a bath, lithium batteries, inverters, parking heaters, and refrigerators are indispensable. It’s okay to be simple, just clean.

On June 13th, I received a call from my classmate, saying that his Datong short-term (announcement of a small passenger car and not a RV) was blocked, and he asked to restore it to its original state. He cried and fainted in the car. Decide not to change the appearance, shift the seat, detach the side cabinet, fix the rear bed (behind the seat), abandon the ventilation window, and simplify the modification.

On June 15th, start to dismantle the car!

I originally thought that I would not post this modification. I am neither a modification factory nor will I engage in the modification industry in the future. I struggled for two days. I thought that there must be some car friends like my uncle, and I can provide them with some new ideas. , this should not be a bad thing!

When my uncle was driving, the waiter quietly asked me if I was a master carpenter, and said that there was a kickback, I would go, there are routines everywhere!

For the 18 models of Chase, the side lining has been changed, which is tough and easy to remove.

Since the size of the MAXUS V80 is significantly larger than the CRV, my uncle is a little uncomfortable after getting started with the new car. Large-screen navigation and reversing images are essential, especially the camera’s perspective from the top to the bottom of the car, which can make parking more effective with less effort. A certain treasure’s MAXUS V80, 18 models of navigation, Android touch screen, 599 yuan, Mercedes-Benz rearview camera, 189 yuan, start decisively!

The 18-model multimedia player is much better than the 17-model, but it is useless to us. I have dismantled several 17-model panels before, and this is the first time I have disassembled the 18-model. I called him and asked him how to remove it. He was very straightforward and told me to remove the black area. Then I put my finger into the air outlet and exerted force from the side to remove the panel easily. Ask me who will install the navigation next time, compared to the 17 model So much easier!

Power adapter cable, 2 USB sockets, GPS receiver, radio jack, video input jack, this is for the rear camera, very simple. I connected one of the USBs to the driving recorder. Uncle’s driving recorder is a second-hand product removed from the CRV. Just plug it in and say goodbye to the cigarette lighter jack!

I tested the screen effect, tested the effect of playing video and music with an external U disk, and also tested the effect of third-party APP installation. It feels okay. 1G storage is a bit small, but I think it is acceptable in the car.

The old dashcam USB cable has arrived and it’s time to put the dashboard back together.

It’s still ok when the panel is put back on.

The installation of the reversing trigger wire was also a surprise to me. After working on it for a long time, there was no electricity. Later, I found out that the pointer of the multimeter was not inserted.

The positive wire of the reversing light is connected to the positive power supply of the rear view camera and the reversing trigger wire of the navigation at the same time. After fiddling with it, I found that the power supply of the camera can work without connecting the negative pole.
