From Sleeping in a Car to Owning Malaysia’s Top RV Business!
Did you know that travelling in a motorhome or caravan is becoming the hottest travel trend in Malaysia? Instead of wasting money on expensive hotels, Malaysians are embracing the freedom of RV living. One man, Ahmad Hazwan Zahari, turned his personal struggles into a booming million-ringgit business—Karysma Motorhome!
Stranded with Nowhere to Sleep—Then Came the Genius Idea!
During the pandemic, booking hotels was impossible. Ahmad Hazwan, a sewing supply entrepreneur, often found himself stranded overnight in his car. Frustrated, he thought, “What if I had a mobile home?”. In 2021, he took a leap of faith, bought his first RV for RM50,000, and documented his experience on YouTube. His videos exploded online, turning his passion into a game-changing business.
RVs Are Taking Over Malaysia—Here’s Why!
As interest surged, Ahmad Hazwan started importing motorhomes from Japan, the US, and the UK. Today, Karysma Motorhome is Malaysia’s leading RV company, selling over 250 motorhomes! Want to experience the RV lifestyle? His company offers brand-new motorhomes starting at RM100,000 and rentals from RM700 per day. They also provide custom RV upgrades, including solar panels and refrigerators for RM5,000–RM20,000.
The Harsh Truth About Buying RVs in Malaysia
Despite the growing trend, buying a motorhome isn’t easy. Banks won’t offer loans, meaning buyers must pay in cash. On top of that, Malaysia’s sky-high import tax (35%) makes RVs far pricier than in other countries. Ahmad believes government support could take the industry to new heights.
Ditch Hotels! Travel in Comfort & Strengthen Family Bonds
Motorhomes aren’t just about convenience—they bring families closer. Equipped with toilets, refrigerators, air conditioning, beds, and even TVs, they offer a luxurious home-on-wheels experience. As the secretary of the Campervan and Motorhomes Association of Malaysia, Ahmad actively promotes RV tourism, organizing road trips, relief missions, and even mosque tours.
