【Original Intention】 Only for taking the family camping. Welcome to comment, I want to comment. 【Question】 Can the modified vehicle be driven on the road? Hu Xiaocong introduced his "RV", he said that the table in front of the reporter could be folded down into a bed. The netizen "Guan Dao" took the photo. Inside the "RV", there is a refrigerator and self-prepared gas. The reporter personally experienced it. This second-hand "Iveco" van was divided into three areas. The middle area which occupies the largest space is the bed, next to the bed is the "corridor", and at the end of the bed is the toilet. These three areas are the most important components of the "RV". Hu Xiaocong has fully incorporated the design concept - the bed board can be split and directly placed to become a dining table. The "stove" is placed in the corridor. The toilet contains a toilet seat that can also be used for showering.
Regarding whether the "Iveco" with the qualification of "special-purpose working vehicle" can be driven on the road after being modified into an "RV", in response to this question, Hu Xiaocong said that any vehicle arbitrarily modified is against regulations and laws, but some modifications are exceptions, such as cars modified into ambulances, or cars modified into emergency vehicles, which require the modified vehicle to have a special qualification, namely the "special-purpose working vehicle" qualification. "This car is a second-hand 'Iveco', registered as a 'special-purpose working vehicle' when the previous owner bought it. Modifying it into an 'RV' did not violate laws and regulations."
Reporter Liu Jun, Communicator Zhang Ling, Intern Kang An. Hu Xiaocong is 30 years old and runs his own auto repair shop. He usually likes camping. A month ago, he suddenly thought: if one day, he takes his family camping, and suddenly there's a storm with thunder and lightning, the tent flaps in the wind and rainwater keeps seeping in... What should have been a beautiful camping trip would turn out to be a disaster. Hu Xiaocong thought: "If only there was an 'RV', how nice that would be!"
The self-made "RV" has water, electricity, and gas facilities inside. It can be used for cooking and bathing.

When the reporter looked up "special-purpose working vehicle" online, he saw that only the models listed in the "special-purpose working vehicle" announcement directory among the 7-seat "Ivecos" belong to "special-purpose working vehicles", which have the characteristics of no scrappage limit and allowing mixed passenger and cargo transport. The reporter specifically consulted lawyer Kang Neixin from Yongtai Law Firm. He stated that according to relevant laws, this kind of modified vehicle cannot be driven on the road.
So where does the electricity come from inside the "RV"? Hu Xiaocong opened the "bedboard" and introduced that there was an "inverter" under the bed, which could convert 12-volt DC power into 220-volt AC power. "As long as I want, the TV and stereo can be turned on anytime!" Hu Xiaocong said. "There is a water tank under the car, which can hold about 80 liters of water." The water tank is right next to the silencer, and the heat from the silencer is just enough to "warm up" a tank of water, which is used for bathing. Then he lifted the stove cover, inside which were gas cylinders, which can be used directly for cooking and boiling water.
With this idea, this post-80s young man purchased a second-hand "Iveco" and began to build his own "RV". Now, this "RV" has completed sixty percent of its construction, with kitchen, bed, and bathroom all ready. "In ten days or so, the 'RV' will be ready, then I can take my family to Tibet for the New Year: no need to endure the hardships of outdoor living, my daughter will definitely be happy!" Hu Xiaocong recently said.
