As an imported product, the RV market has been continuously expanding after more than ten years of development after entering the country . From the initial toy of the rich, it has gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. Now the price of an entry-level RV starts at 100,000 yuan, which is the same as that of an ordinary family car. From this, it seems that it is not difficult for an ordinary family to get a RV. So here comes the first question – where to park the RV?
Where to park your RV is a very serious question. To some extent, this problem is even a hindrance to the development of RVs in China. Let’s first understand the more common parking places for RVs:
1. The parking space in the community or in the courtyard of the villa. The initial buyers of RVs generally have good financial ability, and the parking space in the residential area is also large or there are villas with independent courtyards. Therefore, it is not a big problem to park one more RV today when parking spaces are tight.
2. In the factory building. As a successful person who dares to eat crabs, it is normal to have a factory or warehouse.
3. RV camp. Some campsites will rent out campsites, and even some RVs are packaged and sold together with the campsites when they are sold, so that there is no need to worry about parking after purchasing the RV.
4. Dealer Escrow. Certain low-volume brand dealerships offer RV buyers a small number of vehicle parking spots.
5. Courtyard. Buying or renting a courtyard in the suburbs is equivalent to finding a home for the RV.
6. On the road. The road is where the RV should be, and travel is the meaning of life.
After looking at the above places where you can park your RV, do you feel desperate and painful, because none of them are suitable for you. Let’s analyze them one by one: the parking spaces in the community are tight, not to mention parking a RV, and there is no place to park even the second car at home. plant? Stop making trouble, ordinary people don’t have factories. The camp is a good idea, but the parking fee of the camp is not cheap. Dealers say no. Yard, just think about it, don’t take it seriously. On the road, it’s okay to do it occasionally, but it’s unrealistic to be on the road every day.
The main reason for this situation is that most of the consumers who can accept the concept of RV at this stage have higher incomes and live in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, due to the shortage of land in the first-tier cities, there are not too many places for large RVs. Of course, we are not discussing the pros and cons of urbanization here, but a reliable solution for how to park RVs with little or no money. The author summarizes the following points, and of course comments and additions are welcome.
1. RV sharing. The concept of sharing is very hot now, and RV sharing is naturally included. Handing over the idle caravan to the sharing platform for shared rental will solve the parking problem of the caravan, and at the same time, there will be an income. The disadvantage is that the RV is similar to a well-decorated house. Is it acceptable for others to use your bathroom and sleep in your bed?
2. Suburban parking. In the suburbs far from the city center, there will be a lot of parking lots or vacant spaces with excess resources, and the price of such a long-term lease is acceptable. However, such vacant land and parking lots are often neglected due to long-term idleness, and vehicle safety is a problem.
3. Camp. As mentioned above, although it is expensive to rent a camp for a long time, it is still very suitable considering that you can spend the weekend in a camp with a good view.
4. Curbside. The feasibility of this seemingly unreliable suggestion is quite high. Private cars are usually parked on both sides of the non-main road near the community. This is also something that the traffic police tacitly approve of because of the shortage of parking spaces in the city. What you need is to find the right time and park the RV quickly when there is a large space. The disadvantage is that the vehicle is safe and there is definitely no place after returning from a trip.
Summary: After talking so much, it is nothing more than finding a shelter for the RV and a place for the soul yearning for freedom. Today’s first-tier cities have already become bloated due to many problems such as land shortage and inconvenient transportation. Cities need to develop against urbanization, and our hearts that yearn for freedom also need the soil for survival. Fortunately, some cities are already moving non-essential functions to the surrounding areas. Optimistically, the space left for RVs in cities will become larger and larger after a few years. Let’s wait and see.
