Can a compact RV under 6 metres really have two floors, a 55 kWh battery, and 105+ gallons of fresh water?
In this video, we tour a unique two-storey Chinese hybrid camper built on the BYD T5DM chassis. At just under 20 feet (6m) long, this innovative RV features a lifting-roof upper level, a family-friendly layout, and huge off-grid capability.
Unlike traditional diesel motorhomes, the BYD T5DM uses a range-extender hybrid setup: the wheels are driven by an electric motor, while a petrol engine acts as a generator. With a 55 kWh battery, 400L (105+ gal) of fresh water, and 200L each of grey/black water, its capacity is unmatched for this size.
Is this lifting-roof concept the future of compact travel, or is it too complex for real life? Let's find out!
