American-style touring In China

LATimes

Riverside motor home maker MVP RV Inc. is planning to build and export 30,000 vehicles to China under an agreement with a Chinese entrepreneur that is expected to add 1,200 new jobs to the Inland Empire, an area hit hard by the recession.

How comforting to know that when we are touring the Tea Horse Road or the Silk Road or the Changthang Plateau or anywhere in dozens of mountain ranges on our horses or motorbikes, we will get stuck behind U.S.-built motorhomes on the grades just like here, except they'll be driven by old retired Orientals so we won't dare try to pass...

The bright side is we'll be able to overnight at Good Sam Crub RV parks.

Note to China: Welcome to upward mobility. Except on the grades.
