Here’s our short review of the Maxus RV80 motor home.

Our Maxus RV80 review is based on Maxu’s model, which has a 2.0L T diesel engine and a 6AMT gearbox. I felt the gearbox changed gears like a jumping rabbit, and it was not as smooth as expected.

The Maxus motor home (RV) from SAIC MAXUS. The 2017 RV80 is offered in three variants with three different body sizes, powered by the same 2.0T diesel engine with a maximum power of 100kW. torque 330N.m, price range:269800-489800yuan

This is just a short review as, at this point, I had no clear goal for how I should go with blogging.

I mistakenly found the place outside of Shanghai Disneyland in the parking lot. I saw several RVs parked side by side and found the rental place nearby, Shanghai Maxus Holiday Plaza RV Park. As of 2023, this name has changed, and they have moved from the camping area to here. The campsite continues as usual.

Update Nov 2024: The rental of the RV location has changed. The location is at Qi Zhong Stadium 上海旗忠森林体育城网球中心. You can use the app RV2GO to make reservations and for more information.

The colorful design includes images of tropical palm trees, mountains, and a cheerful RV cartoon, with the text highlighting a positive travel message. This captures the essence of road trips and the freedom of RV exploration in China

The price level for the RV2GO is usually slightly higher than that of other rentals. But it is very much worth the value. We used this RV on our weekend trip to Tangshan Hot Springs RV Camping in Nanjing

These are minor issues only, but if you are planning a more extended trip, you must consider some issues.

We rented a Maxus RV80 through RV2GO.com and shared a detailed review of our overall experience, highlighting the features and performance of the RV during our enjoyable weekend trip to Nanjing.

Summary

Did not like how the gears changed. Missing many equipment for longer trip but for a weekend trip it was an OK RV.
