The scrapping period of an RV depends on its size and passenger capacity. RVs classified as small non-commercial passenger vehicles have no scrapping period, while medium and large non-commercial passenger RVs have a scrapping period of 20 years. Self-propelled RVs with a length less than 6000mm and seating capacity of 9 or fewer passengers, as well as towed RVs with a length less than 6000mm and a total weight under 4500kg, are classified as small passenger vehicles. Self-propelled RVs with a length of 6000mm or more or seating capacity exceeding 9 passengers, and towed RVs with a length of 6000mm or more and a total weight of 4500kg or above, are classified as medium or large passenger vehicles. Vehicle scrapping process: The vehicle owner must fill out and stamp the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping." Submit the application at the registration counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping period, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period but meet the scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notification" will be issued. The owner must choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle, presenting the "Notice." The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice." The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the chassis must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and dismantling photos for verification and approval by the inspection counter. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed.

As someone who loves road trips, I often get asked how long an RV can last. Actually, for non-commercial use RVs like private vehicles, there's no fixed retirement age. I remember my old RV was still roadworthy after nearly 15 years - the key lies in maintenance and annual inspections. Regularly check the engine and braking system to ensure it meets inspection standards, otherwise it could be forcibly retired if emissions fail or safety tests are unsatisfactory. Mileage matters too - hitting 600,000 km doesn't mean immediate retirement, but inspections become stricter. In short, don't worry about age limits, focus more on regular maintenance and safe driving to keep your RV running long-term.

I just bought an RV and am super excited. After researching, I learned the RV scrapping rules are quite straightforward: non-commercial types have no specific lifespan limit but must comply with regulatory management. Annual inspections are crucial—if emissions exceed standards or key components deteriorate, it might be forced off the road. Accumulating mileage beyond a certain point, like 600,000 km, can also trigger issues. Daily basic maintenance is recommended: oil changes, filter cleaning, rust prevention, and prioritizing safety—especially avoiding overloading or speeding during long trips. Knowing this makes me feel more at ease, and camping in my well-maintained RV adds so much joy.

What to Do When the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?

The steps to handle when the low tire pressure warning light comes on are: 1. Turn on the hazard lights and gradually slow down, then pull over to the right side of the road after ensuring it is safe; 2. Set up a safety warning sign approximately 150 meters behind the vehicle; 3. After exiting the vehicle, walk around it to inspect all four tires, and replace any damaged tire with the spare immediately if necessary. The reasons for the low tire pressure warning light coming on include: the tire pressure of the four tires being outside the normal range, slow air leakage or a puncture causing insufficient tire pressure, or excessively high tire pressure. The low tire pressure warning light operates by recording the rotation speed of the tires or through electronic sensors installed in the tires to monitor various conditions in real-time automatically, providing effective safety protection while driving.

Why Does an Automatic Transmission Car Shudder When Shifting Gears?

Automatic transmission cars may shudder when shifting gears due to the following reason: The clutch differential has engaged, and the engine has already generated torque, making slight shuddering normal. Gear shifting, abbreviated from the operation method of the gear lever, refers to the driver's psychological and physiological movements in various aspects to continuously change the position of the gear lever according to road conditions and vehicle speed changes. Its function is to alter the vehicle's speed. The requirements for gear shifting are: 1. Master the appropriate timing for shifting; 2. The coordination among the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever must be correct and harmonious, with precise positioning; 3. After shifting into a new gear, release the clutch pedal promptly and smoothly; 4. The shifting action should be swift to minimize shifting time and reduce the loss of vehicle kinetic energy.
