In recent years, domestic RVs have experienced a spurt of growth, and more and more users have begun to choose RVs for travel. However, when we are buying an RV, we should be clear about what functions we want and which small features can make our RV life more convenient. Next, the editor will take a look at the small details of the humanized design on the RV, which can make us more comfortable when using it.
· Height-adjustable external kitchen
Many car users will enjoy their own cooking in the process of using the RV. The kitchen of the RV is divided into an indoor kitchen and an outdoor kitchen. Due to the relatively small space of the RV, it is not suitable for cooking some foods with heavy smoke in the car. The external kitchen avoids the intrusion of oil smoke, and to a certain extent has become the best choice for users. However, the external kitchens of most RVs are now located very low. As a result, we have to bend our bodies when we actually use the stove to cook and feel very tired.
In recent years, some RV manufacturers have produced liftable external kitchens. Users can adjust the height of the external cooktop according to their own height ratio and cooking preferences, so there is no need to “bend down when eating.” Bow your head”.
·Diesel stove
Friends who drive through the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in a motorhome know that when using a ferry to Hainan, or when entering Tibet and Xinjiang, they are not allowed to carry liquefied gas tanks. Although the cassette stove can enter Xinjiang, Tibet, and the ferry, because the gas tank needs to be replaced frequently and the firepower is relatively weaker than that of the gas stove, the convenience of use is reduced to a certain extent.
▲Open flame diesel stove
▲Anonymous fire diesel stove
In the newly launched RVs in recent years, a version with a diesel stove with an external kitchen has been gradually introduced. The fuel is taken directly from the fuel tank of the original car or from the auxiliary fuel tank, avoiding the embarrassment of not allowing gas tanks to be carried. Diesel stoves are currently divided into two types: open flame stoves and unnamed stoves. Open flame diesel stoves are almost the same as traditional gas stoves and have relatively strong firepower. An anonymous fire diesel stove is more like an electric ceramic stove, cooking by heating the surface of the stove.
·Car seat with child seat interface
Traditional RVs are almost without exception, and the reception area uses deck sofas; although deck sofas have better flatness after combining the bed, the backrest is relatively upright and unadjustable, and the long-term ride comfort is relatively poor. In addition, with the continuous popularization of RVs, RVs are no longer exclusive to retired elderly people. Many young and middle-aged people also choose to take their families to travel with RVs; traditional decks are not equipped with child safety seat interfaces. To the extent it is not conducive to traveling with children.
In recent years, domestic RVs have gradually replaced traditional decks with car seats. First of all, car seats will be better than traditional decks in terms of wrapping, and the backrest angle can be adjusted, so that they are more comfortable for long-distance driving. In addition, car seats are generally equipped with child safety seat interfaces, allowing children to ride in the caravan more safely and comfortably.
·B type car body extension
Many users like the layout of the rear horizontal bed of the B-type RV. After parking the car, open the rear door and lie on the back bed with a feeling of “facing the sea and blooming in spring”. But the width of the body of the B-type RV is generally about 2 meters, and the upper part of the body is also designed with a tightening design to remove the wall thickness. Generally, the length of the rear bed of the B-type car is about 1.8 meters, and the taller users can only lean Sleeping; in this way, the space occupied by the user’s sleep will be slightly different from the “rear double bed” advertised by manufacturers and distributors.
In recent years, many domestic RVs on the rear horizontal bed have adopted the reopening of the windows on both sides, and the widening design method has made the length of the rear horizontal bed longer. For example, Jingyanqi 599, Bach 5, Weihang V570 and other models, after the body is re-molded, the length of the rear side can reach 2 meters or even 2.1 meters, which increases the comfort of sleeping on the tail bed. This design is actually more common in European-style B-type RVs, such as German Westfalia, La Strada, Hymercar, and models with corresponding designs can be found.
·Type B car without middle door design
The biggest disadvantage of the B-type RV is that the body size is relatively small and the interior space is not large. In recent years, some domestic RV brands have launched some RVs without center doors in response to this situation, such as the V500 without center door version, V570 without center door version, and V590 without center door version under Weihang… Equipped with a complete outdoor kitchen, pull-out gas stove, outdoor folding table, not only saves the space in the car, but also provides a functional design for outdoor cooking. In addition, the interior space of the RV without a middle door has also been designed with a larger kitchen in the original middle door, which is more convenient to operate. Not only that, after canceling the mid-door design, the interior space of the RV looks more transparent. (The picture of a RV without a middle door comes from the official Weihang RV)
·Vertical lift bed
With the increasing popularity of T-shaped small-forehead RVs, electric lift beds have gradually become the “new favorite” in RV accessories, but most of them are horizontal hammocks. Users who sleep on the inside must go over the outside users when they wake up at night to go to the toilet. In this way, it will be easy to disturb the other party. In addition, the thickness of the bed board of the horizontal hammock will also affect the layout of the storage cabinet under the hammock to a certain extent. Either there is no storage cabinet or the size of the storage cabinet is too small.
In recent years, some innovative manufacturers have changed the horizontal hammock to the vertical hammock. Many models of Feixiang adopt this design. This design can not only make the length of the hammock longer, the user will basically not disturb the other person’s rest when getting on and off the bed. In addition, the design of the vertical hammock can also make the storage cabinet better arranged, increasing the storage space in the car. (The hammock picture comes from the official Feixiang RV)
·Innovative design of bathroom
In the past two years, RV toilets have also been the focus of major manufacturers. For example, the dry and wet separation toilet design of the Platinum Diamond RV is different from other C-type RVs that achieve dry and wet separation through the partition door. It adopts a new design of two independent areas. On the left is an independent washing and toileting area; on the right is an independent shower area, and both sides are equipped with ventilation fans. This design makes the “dry and wet separation” bathroom in a true sense can satisfy two people at the same time.
As for the wet and dry toilet, I think the most commendable design is the flying design. Two slide rails are added under and behind the toilet, which can be moved backward when not in use to increase the space for bathing. (The pictures of wet and dry toilets are from Feixiang official)
During our RV trips, we often wash clothes. In recent years, RVs have also been equipped with household washing machines or special washing machines for RVs, which facilitates our daily laundry. But after washing, how to dry is a problem. Many car users will put the washed clothes under the awning to dry, and it will be very inconvenient to dry the clothes when the wind and sand are heavy. And we found a very interesting little detail in the free wind of Dade. The inside of the bathroom is equipped with a clothes drying rope, which can be used to dry clothes when the bathroom is not used, which increases the convenience.
Summary: In fact, there are many more deliberate designs in RVs, which are not listed here. With the continuous rise of the domestic RV industry, new RV manufacturers are constantly emerging. In order to improve their product capabilities, major manufacturers continue to absorb feedback from users and make many interesting small designs. This has also prompted the domestic RV industry to move forward. Development in a benign direction.
