Farmer applies for patent on his do-it-yourself RV

A farmer in Shaanxi province in Northwest China spent around 300,000 yuan ($47,000) to turn a van into a recreational vehicle and has submitted a patent application for his creation.

Wang Donghu, 49, a villager in Anfeng village in Pucheng county, has studied technology since he was a teenager.

One day in January, he came up with the idea to build a recreational vehicle capable of driving around the country.
