This giant $158,000 Chinese double-decker RV has gone viral for how weird it is, mostly for the fact that when you’re upstairs, you’re basically outside all the time – it’s name? The Qixing Star Milk River Motorhome Villa Ford.
Snappily named, it’s China’s answer to the luxurious American motorhome trend we’ve seen a recent rise in popularity of.
Initially a Ford Transit T8 cutaway, aluminium and fiberglass additions help make this motorhouse into a motorhome – and a weird one at that.
The most intriguing part of this viral Chinese double-decker RV is what is described by the company that made it, Qixing, as a ‘forehead lift’, the bizarre rising roof section.

This giant $158,000 Chinese double-decker RV is utterly bizarre
Meet the Qixing Star Milk River Motorhome Villa Ford, which is possibly the most inefficiently named motorhome ever in history.
The Star Milk River is China’s answer to the growing popularity of luxury motorhomes that have been taking America by storm, like the EarthRoamer.
The Chinese motorhome begins its life as a Ford Transit T8 cutaway, but has had aluminium and fiberglass parts added to it to make it cooler and add a whole extra floor on top.
The bizarre RV has a Daikin air-conditioner, heater, king bed, toilet, shower, and even a functional kitchen, but it’s the second-floor ‘terrace’ that has left people scratching their heads.
What’s in a name? Inside the Qixing Star Milk River Motorhome Villa Ford
The pièce de résistance when it comes to this motorhome is what Qixing calls the ‘forehead lift’, which is the rising roof.
The feature means that, when the roof is closed, some of the windows are covered by a sort of hat.
When the roof is open, you get what Qixing calls a ‘terrace,’ which is technically a second floor, but the only thing between you and the outdoors is thin curtains.
As it isn’t sealed or waterproof, hiding out on the terrace during a rainstorm might not be a great idea, but on a nice sunny day, it could be the perfect place to hang out.
Despite its strange design, there is no doubt that this is a very cool, if bizarre motorhome, and the US better watch out, because China’s answer to its fancy motorhomes is just as cool, but way less expensive.
