Bus converted into a motorhome, can be driven with a Class C driver's license? It will debut at the Chengdu RV Show on September 19th, boasting incredibly stable high-speed performance thanks to its wide dual tires.

This Class B motorhome, modified from a Dongfeng Chaolong bus chassis, breaks with convention with its rugged "mobile cabin" design. Its boxy shape (5990×2270×2940mm) and 3.3-meter wheelbase, coupled with the flexibility of being drivable with a C-class driver's license, make it a phenomenal product in the personalized travel and accommodation market. With an affordable price of just over 200,000 RMB and a practical 4-seat, 4-bedroom layout, it retains the robust genes of the bus chassis while innovatively redefining the possibilities of motorhome space. Those interested in this motorhome can visit the RVCat Mall (Chengdu Trading Center) from September 19th to 21st, 2025, to participate in the Chengdu RV Exhibition hosted by RVCat and experience it up close. The

entire vehicle uses a birdcage-style keel structure made of high-strength steel plates, and the chassis with a main beam design ensures safety. The 1.98-meter internal height and air pressure braking + leaf spring suspension system balance passability and comfort. The 16-inch 7.00R wide-body tires and rear-mounted dual-tire layout enhance driving stability. With a length of 5990mm and a height of 2940mm, it retains the spaciousness of a bus while allowing for convenient C-class driver's license use via a blue license plate.

Powered by a Yuchai 2.4T diesel engine paired with a Fast 6-speed manual transmission, it delivers 140 horsepower and 400 N·m of torque. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, combined with leaf spring suspension, balances load capacity and handling stability. The combination of an air-pressure braking system and 16-inch wide-body tires ensures braking performance even with four passengers, while the chassis beam design further strengthens structural rigidity. The driver's cabin features a 2-seat front and 2-seat rear configuration, with the driver's seat equipped with an air-suspension seat for enhanced long-distance comfort. The 4-person capacity meets the needs of family travel. In terms of features, it is fully equipped with a reversing camera, dashcam, electric headlight adjustment, and automatic engine compartment fire suppression system, maintaining bus-level safety standards while incorporating practical features specific to motorhomes.

The interior is practical, with a living area featuring two electric airline-style seats and a movable dining table, while overhead cabinets provide ample storage space. The faux marble kitchen countertop integrates a stainless steel sink, induction cooker, 96L double-door refrigerator, and microwave. The addition of a household air conditioner and a standing wardrobe creates a functional and comfortable work area.

The kitchen area utilizes a fold-down dining table and extension panel design to flexibly switch between dining and work spaces. The bathroom, occupying 0.8㎡, is equipped with a washbasin, pull-out shower, and non-slip PVC flooring. Although the toilet configuration is not explicitly stated, basic washing functions are complete. The rest area features a bunk bed layout, with both 2-meter beds equipped with reading lights, 24V sockets, and USB ports. The window design balances natural light and privacy. The


water and electricity configuration prioritizes practicality, with a 130L fresh water tank and a 50L grey water tank meeting short-distance needs. A 24V 200AH lithium battery, combined with a 200W solar panel and a 3000W inverter, forms the basic energy system. Although it doesn't use a 48V system, the 24V architecture strikes a balance between cost control and basic power needs, making it suitable for budget-conscious users.

This Dongfeng Chaolong chassis RV redefines Class B RVs with a "cabin-like" concept, precisely targeting a niche market seeking differentiation through its bus-grade chassis, personalized layout, and price point around 200,000 RMB. Its combination of a rugged exterior, flexible space, and basic configuration retains the core functions of RV travel while lowering the barrier to personalized travel at an affordable price, becoming a new option beyond traditional Class B/C RVs.
