Motor homes camper vans caravans truck campers pop-up campers What's the difference
In this video we discuss the main differences between the vehicles through their advantages
e pros and cons if you want to have it We will also share how to
And as a Malaysian citizen you can own a home by buying and importing it yourself
From abroad We ourselves didn't know when we started van life in 2017
But it's okay the important thing is that we can share knowledge together
RV stands for Recreational Vehicle or recreational vehicle and the term used
To call all motorhomes camper vans caravans pop-up campers and truck campers
What is an RV An RV refers to a vehicle used as a means of transportation and as a temporary home
There are several benefits to having an RV First it offers family and friends
Opportunity to spend quality time together
This Nissan caravan of mine is no ordinary van It is our home on wheels
I my wife and children we all spent a lot of time in this van
I have a lot of outside office work so wherever we are it doesn't matter
Whether on vacation or working we can spend time together
Second it is a lower-cost alternative for family travel compared to
With flights hotel stays and no longer including booking issues during public holidays school holidays
I only spend on oil and food We buy the raw materials for ourselves
Cooking So if I tell you YouTubers Malaysian camper van fans
I can stay in Malaysia for 10 days with a cost of only RM700
So I save 1000 ringgit if we calculate one day if you stay at the hotel one night 100 ringgit
Third you can camp outside without sacrificing the comfort usually found at home
You are free to go anywhere and anytime you want
What are the different types of RVs or recreational vehicles
Let's start with the largest
Motorhomes are built on a chassis or heavy-duty frame
Whether it's a custom-designed chassis or an existing commercial bus or truck chassis
It is essentially a motorhome Literally the term motorhome means where
Motorhomes can also be made very luxurious and for those who want to live full-time
Inside the vehicle there are also some models that are fully equipped
so that it has the comfort of a five-star hotel
Vehicles can be custom built with a kitchen dining area bedroom bathroom and TV
music system rotating camera and so on
Pros or advantages
Luxurious spacious and very comfortable convenience More storage space
The design can combine many passenger chairs
Suitable for large families wanting to explore the world over a long period
The shortage is expensive
to buy repair maintain high insurance and fuel like
Diesel or petrol that should be considered in travel costs
Big to drive and much harder to move on the highway
This vehicle cannot enter many places with high and long barriers
It may require a smaller vehicle such as a motorcycle
for a day trip to the market and other places
Some countries require different driving licenses
It's not easy to stay overnight in a train station or in a city area quietly
Either a camp or a stealth rest if necessary
The second one is a camper van It is smaller
than a motorhome with somewhat reduced luxury
It is a van but it has a bed for doing simple cooking
and usually the bed can be converted into a seat
Campers are parked in the same spots as cars or small vans
Most people who use it do not have a bathroom or kitchen
But the times have changed and we have met some Malaysian camper van owners
who have successfully incorporated a kitchen and toilet into their vans
See our channel list here
Modern camper vans have many smart design elements
To carry as many items as possible but still have space to sit and drive
Items that can be folded or wrapped in a compartment or stored under the sea
It's a great addition for a camper van since every inch is very important
Either way its advantages
Vehicle parking is convenient in most places low fuel consumption
the design can still integrate passenger seats
Suitable for weekend camping visits and daily tasks
Or its shortcomings
A somewhat cramped space
It takes time to provide a kitchen or bathroom and a bedroom
Your caravan is delayed behind your train
You just need to attach it and your caravan is already ready
Caravans come with dedicated spaces for a bedroom bathroom and kitchen
This type of caravan is quite easy to find in Malaysia
You and your family are sure to find something that meets your needs
In Malaysia there is a requirement that this caravan must be towed by a vehicle with a capacity of
4x4 or 4WD
Advantages Many different sizes and floor plans
It can be delayed with various 4WD vehicles
Reasonable price compared to a motorhome of the same size
The Tunda caravan can be released in the camping area
and free your vehicle if
needed anywhere The downside is
Maneuvering or turning this vehicle is extremely difficult almost impossible
Rear wheel shudder can be a concern while driving
This is an example showing how important weight distribution is
Either weight distribution
If more than 40% of the load is
in the rear section this will apply
Some countries require 4x4 or 4WD vehicles to transport them
It should be placed only at the campsite for safety
The fourth
Truck Camper
A truck camper is usually in Malaysia
This truck is used with a
four-door Hilux pickup This
pickup is easy to drive Sometimes called a cap overs
Made with a hard shell for a pickup truck
This pickup truck is fairly comfortable for two adults and two young children
It also offers a kitchen area storage compartments
and a small toilet although overall it is quite small
It may be just a bit larger than your regular pickup
When we first started we found
out that a man named Wing
had placed an order for the design of this truck camper
At that time he was in Langkawi and
building a truck camper business for rent
We went there to meet them
He said that we can book this camper truck but it
needs to be designed only from a four-door pickup
It must not exceed the relatively narrow rear cargo capacity
He also requires a minimum order of 5 units
and takes 8 months from start to finish
We did not proceed with this order ultimately because
the cost and timeframe were not suitable for us
The deposit ranges from RM30 000 to RM40 000 depending
on the quality and style of the interior design finish
If you want to find out more
about this you can contact
Wing There are also many things for sale in Thailand
But transportation clearance is something you need to investigate yourself
It's great for off-roading
The camper box can also be removed
meaning you can continue to use this truck as usual
It's a bit expensive to adjust
A somewhat cramped living space
with very limited facilities
They have a specific truck model like the Toyota Hilux possibly
because of the relatively high demand compared to other brands
In Malaysia pop-up campers are not easily found
We have seen a VW or Volkswagen pop-up camper
The one brought in from the UK at a price of RM180 000
You might also come across some classic pop-ups
in the VW community here but they are quite rare
Pop-up campers are also known as fold-down campers or
tent trailers and are the transformers of the RV world
Because of their design that allows
them to stand inside the
vehicle this pop-up camper is quite popular There is a minimum storage
The canvas part offers superior protection from the elements
This trailer is perfect for families looking to upgrade their
camping experience from ordinary camping and sleeping arrangements
They are also called RV starters and are very suitable
for those who just want to try this RV lifestyle
Let's compare its advantages and pros
Converting a small space into a larger one
gives you the ability to stand inside
It has the drawback of not being able to place a full cargo rack on top of the vehicle to carry more load
Not suitable for extreme weather
The canvas side is easily exposed to melting and humidity
So we've reached the end of today's video
And we hope you now know the difference between the vehicles mentioned
Okay here's important information for the people
Malaysia knows that you can also own your dream motorhome
By importing your vehicle without an AP
Without an AP Yes
