People who live in a RV: Spend 1,000 yuan per month, saving money than renting a house?

Zhongxin Jingwei, September 11th (Xue Yufei Niu Chaoge interns Wu Ao) In recent years, RVs have begun to enter the Chinese field of vision. As the sales are getting larger and larger, there is a momentum of "flying into the home of ordinary people". According to data from the Federation of Federation, the Chinese RV market has grown rapidly in recent years, and sales have increased from 5,000 vehicles in 2017 to 12,582 in 2021. Affected by the downturn in the car market, RV sales from January to July 2022, a year-on-year decrease of 13%.

Who is buying a RV? These car owners are "rich and idle"? How about living in a RV? Recently, Zhongxin Jingwei interviewed three car owners who had lived in RVs for a long time. From their personal experience, to explore a different life in the RV.

Save rents to reduce work anxiety

Xiao Qiao, who lives in Yanjiao, Hebei, worked near Beijing Guomao. Due to the too far away from work and repeated epidemic, his commute time was stretched again. In the experience of traveling and entrepreneurship, he had been in contact with RVs, and the new changes in his life began to consider the feasibility of RV life.

RVs are dragging and self-propelled RVs. Compared with self-propelled RVs, the mop-mounted type is cheaper, with a naked car of about 90,000 to 100,000 yuan. At first he planned to buy a used car, but he did not find the car he liked. He said to Zhongxin Jingwei: "RV is equivalent to his own home. The interior style must be good." In the end, in March 2022, he spent 110,000 yuan to buy a dragging new car.

Since May, Xiao Qiao started a RV life, and the RV has also become a luxurious version of "activity board house". Save rents as the first reason for him to enter a house. He said to Zhongxin Jingwei: "If renting a house near the company, the cost of renting a single room is 3500 yuan -5,000 yuan/month, and the rent from two and a half to three years is enough to buy this car. Think about it for this way, live for two and a half years, for two and a half years This car is equivalent to nothing. "

The main expenses of RVs are parking fees and water and electricity costs. Xiao Qiao's RV was parked at the door of the company. He now needs to pay the property company for more than 800 yuan/month parking fee. Since the company is working on the first floor, this position is convenient for him to use the unit's water and electricity directly, the cost is 100 yuan- 200 yuan/month. In this way, it costs about 1,000 yuan/month, and the cost is greatly reduced compared to renting.

However, although RV life is free and cost -effective, there will inevitably be various trivial problems. Xiao Qiao's unit is on the first floor, which is more convenient to charge water, but he knows the car owner who has similar experiences to find a way to solve the problem of water and charging. There is also the noise problem of the RV. The sound insulation effect of the car itself is not very good, and it will be plagued by various noise while sleeping.

Another trouble for RV life is to clean up the black water tank. Washing, washing, washing, etc. can be received in the barrel and then poured into the sewer, but the toilet water is more difficult to deal with. It is necessary to add a degradable solution to dilution in about a week. The public toilets are fell. "The taste of the black water tank is pungent, but it must be cleaned on time. This is quite a test of people."

In addition, the safety of RVs is also a major issue that needs to be considered. Xiao Qiao said that due to the limited height of the RV and the average anti -theft effect, if the window is always opened, you will worry about someone climbing in. "Now the RV will generally install a camera at four corners, and there will be cameras in the car to monitor them at any time. International trade, everyone's overall quality is relatively high, and the parking lot is also monitored. I think the safety is quite high. "

In his opinion, the RV was quite worth buying. Since living in a RV, he has no anxiety at work before. At noon on working days, he can return to the RV lunch break, and occasionally make lunch, which makes him easier. After get off work, he will make some videos of RV life, upload it to social platforms, and share the bitterness and bitterness of life with netizens.

Character: Pharaoh

Foundation costs 38,000 each year

I rarely meet the cost of traveling for rich people

About a week later, the Pharaoh and his wife can get their seventh set of "houses", but this "house" is not the other "house", but the RVs they spend 400,000 yuan are coming. He called the RV in the video account of "Pharaoh and his wife", and also stems from his love for it. Since starting from Shandong in December 2019, for more than 2 years and a total of more than 1,000 days, the Pharaoh couple traveled to most of China and fell in love with the life of a RV. He said: "At present, we are waiting for a new car. Because of the epidemic, we have to rent a house in Dali. I just started to live in the house, and I was even a bit uncomfortable."

In many people's opinion, RV space is inadequate, comfortable, and even safety issues. Pharaoh agrees with this view, but he also believes that this is the most comfortable way for outdoor travel. "If you live in a hotel, you have to choose a hotel according to location, price, and supporting. , Hygiene conditions are not necessarily good. Now returning to the RV, there is a feeling of going home and a sense of belonging.

Some people may ask: Are the couples who are driving and carried out, is they "local tyrants"? In fact, they were ordinary office workers before. Pharaoh does not agree with the view that the outside world thinks of self -driving tour very much. He said: "Among the people who have been in contact with self-driving tour in the past two years, they rarely encounter rich people. When driving and playing, 60%-70%are the elderly who retired. They have a certain savings and time. Young people Among them, there are those who can realize mobile office, as well as those like us to do self -media, and there will be some at home, but they can do business but can be used as a shopkeeper, but this number is not much. " Among them, the first is the expenditure of buying a RV. At first, Pharaoh drove a SUV, paving the rear car seat, lying on it to rest, and later set up a tent on the roof. His first dragging RV spent 80,000 yuan, plus the addition of various equipment, a total of about 100,000 yuan. After that, the RV replaced the second dragging RV with this RV. Later, I spent 300,000 yuan to buy a self -propelled RV. After driving for a while, I felt that the light card was not comfortable enough and changed the car again. "RVs are not too much preserved. It will be discounted by 15%-20%for a year. Since the RV has only risen in China in recent years, the product update is fast, and no one wants a RV for more than 5 years."

Pharaoh introduced the daily expenses of the past two years in his video. "The most expensive is definitely refueling. Take the RV I use as an example. The fuel consumption is about 1 yuan/km. Try to take the national road as much as possible to save most of the toll. Based The toll is about 20,000 yuan. If you eat, you can cook in a RV, and the two people are 10,000 yuan per year. The water and electricity basically do not need to spend money. /Year, two maintenance of about 1,000 yuan/year. Calculating, the basic cost is 38,000 yuan/year, and other people can be played in three or five years. "He also said to Zhongxin Jingwei, saying that After more than two years, they did not count the expenditure of buying RVs.

In terms of income, the Pharaoh and his wife are running a self -media account and sharing their driving experience of their RVs. "At present, we can maintain our lives and save a little bit." Pharaoh also introduced that it is a blogger who is a self -media of a RV. The income gap is relatively obvious, and some income is quite high, but some people lose money.

In early 2022, Jing Xiaoxiao and her husband and children began to live in a car where they lived around.

Jing Xiaoxiao said that the death of her friend was an important reason why she was determined to travel. "I wanted to make money all day long. After the death of my friend, I would like to calm down and feel the world. I think I love life more. "

Jing Xiaoxiao told Zhongxin Jingwei that they spent 32,000 yuan for them to buy a dragging RV. In addition, it cost a total of 50,000 yuan, but the money was quickly saved from the life expenditure. "Our previous month's expenditure is between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, and only 5,000-6,000 yuan per month after living in the RV, because most of the places we travel, most of the prices are relatively low, and the RVs also There are no water and electricity costs, property fees, and living expenses are saved than living buildings. "

At present, Jing Xiaoxiao and her husband make money by the video of the theme of RV life. After 4 months, the video maintained a stable balance of income and expenditure. "We reached the balance of revenue and expenditure in July this year, but in the past two days, I sent the children to Chengdu to enter the school. I have no traffic at home, and there is no traffic." Jing Xiaoxiao.

She admits that the reduction of life cost is not her biggest gain, and a healthy parent -child relationship is.

"After living in the RV, the child is no longer a child, but a good friend." Jing Xiaoxiao said, "I used to work, the child was brought by grandparents. When I am uncomfortable, she will take the initiative to pour water and pinch my shoulders. This growth is more important than anything. "

So far, the Jingxiao family has been to Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Qinghai, Gansu and other places. The children have rolled on the beach in Hainan. More than 30 children from Tiannanhai North added WeChat.

"Children's kindergarten classmates can envy her, often brush our videos, and leave a message below saying 'I am XXX,' Children will also be considered the day of the holidays to ask if she can go to Qinghai to find her friends." Jing Jing. "Jing Little novels.

The most interesting thing is that according to Jing Xiaoxiao's memories, in the trips of their family of three, they have not encountered bad people. "Instead, there are always police comrades to knock on the door to pay attention to safety." Please contact the author of this article Xue Yufei: [email protected]) (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
