Initial Exploration Stage (early 20th century to 1930s): The origin of RVs can be traced back to the 1910s. The earliest RVs were wooden house structures mounted on truck chassis, equipped with facilities such as beds, refrigerators and toilets. In the 1920s, trailer RVs became popular and became the predecessor of modern trailer RVs.
Technological Leap and Widespread Popularity (1940s to 1960s): After the end of World War II, trailer RVs were used to accommodate soldiers’ families, which promoted the development of RVs in the civilian market. In the 1960s, C-type RVs based on heavy-duty pickup truck chassis came into being, providing larger space and lower costs, becoming the mainstream self-propelled RVs in the United States.
Specialization and Diversification (1970s to 2000s): In the 1970s and 1980s, camel-back pickup RVs ushered in a golden age, with lightweight and modularization as the core concepts. In the early 21st century, some manufacturers tried to launch luxury pickup RVs, but failed due to inaccurate market positioning. At the same time, the enhancement of off-road performance has become a trend.
Modern innovation and change (2010s to present): Modern pickup RVs pay more attention to versatility and policy adaptability. For example, the 2025 Tuku Zongheng Sihai Beituo RV is built on the Jiangling Avenue pickup chassis, with a height of less than 2.3 meters, convenient access to underground garages, and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system and nitrogen shock absorbers.
