Laobai Comments:
Chinese classical home style, century-old RV experience in Europe and the United States, and Japanese-style production requirements, this is the only RV that can perfectly integrate these three. Although the appearance is not much different from ordinary domestic self-propelled C-type RVs, the mature bodywork design, solid accessories materials, and skilled installation skills of the workers all endow Starcom • Extreme Speed with a unique temperament. Lao Bai’s opinion is that if your budget is sufficient, then choose it. (PS: Lao Bai didn’t collect money)
Graphic Analysis
For an in-depth understanding of this “Skycom·Extreme Speed”, please continue reading, Lao Bai will analyze the RV from a unique and professional perspective.
Xingtong·Extreme Speed RV is a self-propelled C-type RV refitted on the mainstream Iveco 8AT automatic transmission chassis. The appearance is beautiful and smooth, and the details are rigorous and delicate.
The blue front and white body can be regarded as the classic color scheme of the C-type RV, which is nothing new. The body size is strictly controlled within the drivable data of the C driver’s license.
The widened RV-specific rearview mirror ensures driving safety when traveling. The bottom of the vehicle is equipped with feet, which are very rare in domestic self-propelled RVs. Its function is to ensure the stability of the body when camping. (You can carry out the rocking car movement with peace of mind, conscientious designer)
The shape of the rear of the RV is quite satisfactory, and the addition of side extensions increases the internal space of the RV, but also brings a certain rate of accidents. The bicycle rack is Fiama brand from Italy. It should be noted that behind the bicycle rack is the external ventilation and maintenance port of the RV water heater. It also uses a gas water heater that is rarely used in RVs in China, which is very easy to use.
There is a trailer square opening at the bottom of the rear of the car, which can be used to tow a yacht or trailer.
The cockpit part maintains the original car style and has not been modified too much.
The interior of the caravan adopts the classic layout of a self-propelled C-type caravan. The interior design has strong Chinese classical elements and stable North American cherry wood, which makes people want to stop.
Regardless of other things, let’s take a look at its Chinese style elements. The transparent grille, the simple circular carved cabinet door, and the brown-red color of the log highlight its deep temperament. Lao Bai seems to have brought them all home.
The card seat sofa also has a strong Chinese style. After the cockpit seat is turned over, the card seat sofa can form a rest area together.
The rear horizontal bed is only 2160×770×1100 cm, and it is only a single bed design. The forehead bed is 2000×1500×660 cm, but the limited height makes it difficult to sit up.
The RV kitchen consists of a multifunctional sink, gas stove, range hood, etc. The range hood here is the exhaust type, which is much more effective than the adsorption type range hood, but it is still not recommended to fry and cook in the car.
It was the first time I saw a gas oven in a domestic RV. Although I didn’t know how to use it, I was still a little excited.
The imported Thetford 12V 90L refrigerator can continuously output iced drinks during the journey.
One-piece bathroom, cassette toilet.
For drum washing machines, although the clean water tank on the car has 170L, it is still recommended that you use it as a spin dryer.
In terms of electricity, it is equipped with a 400AH battery pack, a 200W solar power generation panel, a Hongshengda 3000W generator and a 2000W inverter, which are safe and practical.
Summary: If you are still hesitating about what kind of RV to choose, you might as well give this Starcom • Speed a chance, it will give you a surprise. Pay attention to “Bai Tan RV” to bring you more professional and unique RV content. If you still feel unfulfilled, Lao Bai will explain the speed RV live at the exhibition on June 14, and there will be mysterious gifts during the live broadcast.
