Madrid – Before you read on, this RV/RV comes from China and is sold through Alibaba or the manufacturer’s website. There are very few copies and the chance of buying one and then driving legally in Europe is slim. However, we thought it was a good idea to report because this little tuktuk-like rickshaw costs only €4,500. It’s called Xinge RV.
Will you be able and dare to drive in it? Do you think you will sleep comfortably? The Xinge RV tuk tuk is for sale in China, nowhere else, at a cost of 4,500 euros converted. The caravan is fully equipped: it has a kitchenette with no possibility to cook, but with running water and a sink, there is a shower and the sofa can be converted into a double bed. There is also a mini fridge, TV and air conditioning.
The porthole wagon carriage As befits a tuk-tuk, it (Capuchino in Spanish) stands on three wheels and is about three and a half meters long. Despite its small size, this camper has a lot of room inside, thanks in part to the porthole, which gives you extra storage space above the driver and co-driver.
It’s also an electric model, so there’s no need to top up with petrol or diesel. The Xinge RV only has a 7.2 kWh battery, which means this 600kg model can’t go very far. The trip from Holland or Belgium to Spain takes a long time with this battery and a top speed of 45 km / h.
Xinge RV can be purchased directly from the manufacturer via this The website (although not included in the website) or via websites such as Alibaba where a few copies can be found. Suppose you can drive one tuk-tuk after all, the question now is whether you can drive it in Europe.

I want to buy a $4900 RV from China with 3 wheels and an electric motor: Thread (with videos!) (and pictures!)
The seller just sent me all these pictures and videos, and I can’t get past this crazy thing.

And another tour inside.
This is it! It’s time to figure out how I’m going to convince the cops to let me drive this on the city streets

The couch/bed. This is the back of the driver’s seat, floating in front. Swings out of the way to make room for stretching.

I suppose this is a very strong air conditioner or humidifier near the front. Drill 9″ flat screen tv for movie nights.
Look at the brickwork

Another view from the living room, looking toward the cockpit. I’m going to replace that blue privacy curtain with one with some space scenes in it, for the entire Millennium Falcon effect.
More bricks

…Shower!
You find me another three-wheeled vehicle with a top speed of 20 mph that you can shower in. Follow.

Sink/shower combo. Please do not leave the refrigerator plugged in when you shower in it.
