Jetour Adventure Camp 2026: A Weekend of V2L, Camping and Community in Tanay

Jetour owners brought their T1s, T2s and G700s to River Ranch in Tanay, Rizal for a two-day Adventure Camp filled with a convoy mini-drive, camping, games, food, prizes and the distribution of free V2L adapters. But beyond the activities, the weekend showed something increasingly important for the brand the growing community behind its vehicles.

There are some things about owning a vehicle that you simply cannot experience during the normal drive to work, a trip to the supermarket, or even a long highway journey. Sometimes you need to take the vehicle somewhere different, meet other people who drive the same brand, set up a tent beside a river and spend a weekend away from the usual routine. That was essentially our experience during the Jetour Adventure Camp held at River Ranch in Tanay, Rizal, on October 10-11, 2026. The gathering brought together different Jetour models including the T1, T2 and G700, although the T1 was clearly the most common vehicle at the event. For us, it was also our first experience joining an organized Jetour convoy. And our weekend actually began long before we reached the campsite.

An Early-Morning Start at Shell Boso-Boso

We left home early Saturday morning while it was still dark and headed toward Shell Boso-Boso in Antipolo, which served as the assembly point for the mini drive going to River Ranch. Before the convoy departed, Jetour provided participating owners with ₱1,000 worth of fuel and free coffee. It was a simple gesture, but it was a nice way to begin what would become a full weekend of activities. The parking area gradually filled with Jetour vehicles. There were T1s, T2s and the much larger G700 preparing to make the journey together. Our vehicle was assigned Car No. 12 in the convoy. We had never joined a drive like this before, so even before reaching River Ranch, there was already a sense of excitement. Seeing a long line of Jetour vehicles traveling together was very different from simply seeing another Jetour on the road.

Our First Jetour Mini Drive

The weather made the drive more interesting. It was raining, and some portions of the route included rough surfaces and plenty of potholes. That gave the convoy something slightly more challenging than an ordinary paved-road cruise. Nothing about the route was extreme, but it was enough to remind us that these vehicles were heading toward an adventure camp rather than a showroom event. From inside Car No. 12, it was enjoyable watching the other Jetour vehicles ahead and behind us as the convoy worked its way toward Tanay. For us, the mini drive was already one of the memorable parts of the weekend. It may have been a relatively short part of the entire event, but being part of an organized convoy for the first time made the journey itself feel like part of the destination.

Arriving at River Ranch

After reaching River Ranch, participants were served breakfast. And throughout the weekend, one thing we certainly could not complain about was the food. After breakfast, we began setting up our camping area. We were fortunate with our assigned location because our tent was positioned close to the edge of the river. It gave us a very good campsite view and made the surroundings feel properly removed from the city. Some of the children at the event later enjoyed swimming in the river, while Jetour also prepared other activities for younger participants, including a movie-viewing area. By lunchtime, everyone gathered again for another meal before one of the main activities of the event began.

The V2L Giveaway Was More Than Just a Free Accessory

One of the biggest highlights of the Jetour Adventure Camp was the distribution of free Vehicle-to-Load, or V2L, adapters to participating owners. For owners of compatible electrified Jetour models, this is a particularly useful accessory. V2L allows energy stored in the vehicle's battery to be used to power external electrical devices. At a campsite, that immediately opens up plenty of possibilities. Portable lights can be powered from the vehicle. An electric fan can be used inside or beside the tent. Phones, cameras and other gadgets can be charged. Depending on the appliance and the vehicle's rated V2L output, other camping equipment can also potentially be powered directly from the vehicle. For an i-DM owner, this changes the way we think about traveling somewhere without an electrical connection. Traditionally, going off-grid and still wanting electrical power could mean bringing a large portable battery station or setting up solar panels. With a compatible Jetour i-DM vehicle and V2L, the vehicle itself can become part of the campsite's power solution. That makes the V2L adapter more than just another accessory to store inside the car. It is something owners can genuinely use.

Jetour Turned V2L Into a Competition

Jetour also found a fun way to encourage everyone to immediately experiment with their new V2L adapters. Owners were invited to take creative photos showing how they were using V2L around the campsite and submit their entries for a competition. Unfortunately, we weren't able to upload our own photo in time, so we missed our chance to join the V2L photo competition. There were some very attractive prizes waiting for the winners, including a DJI action camera, DJI Neo drone and an Osmo Pocket camera. Throughout the event, Jetour also gave away other items including branded T-shirts, travel bags, backpacks, tumblers and mugs. There were plenty of chances to take something home. Unfortunately for us, raffle luck wasn't on our side this weekend. But there were still more activities ahead.

Four Teams, One Afternoon Challenge

At around 3:00 p.m., I joined one of the group games organized for the participants. Everyone was divided into four teams: Red, Green, Yellow and Blue. Each team had around ten members, and I became part of Team Yellow. There was a total of ₱30,000 worth of gift certificates involved in the team competition, which naturally gave everyone another reason to take the games seriously. Our Yellow Team eventually finished in third place. We may not have won the competition, but this was also where one of the purposes of an event like this became obvious. You start talking to people you probably would never have met otherwise. At first, everyone arrives because they own a Jetour. After a few activities, conversations and shared experiences, the cars become the introduction rather than the entire subject.

From Cars to Camping

By around 6:00 p.m., the atmosphere began changing from daytime activities to an evening campsite gathering. An acoustic band started playing as participants settled down for the night. Dinner followed—and once again, the food did not disappoint. Among the dishes served were lechon baboy and lechon baka, making dinner one of the highlights of the event on its own. After dinner came the awarding ceremony for the V2L photo competition along with raffle prizes for registered participants. We weren't lucky enough to win one of those prizes, but the evening still had another important announcement.

Jetour Club PH Is Launched

During the evening program, Lito Jose of UAAAGI announced the launch of Jetour Club PH, an owners' club intended to bring Jetour vehicle owners together. The timing seemed appropriate. All around us were T1, T2 and G700 owners who had spent the day driving together, eating together, joining games, comparing vehicles and camping in the same place. In many ways, the Adventure Camp had already demonstrated what an owners' community could look like. The establishment of Jetour Club PH simply gave that community a more formal identity. After the program, organizers prepared a bonfire, complete with marshmallows, while families and participants continued spending time around the campsite. Many owners stayed overnight. With tents beside the river, vehicles parked nearby and electricity available through V2L-equipped cars, it felt much closer to a proper outdoor gathering than a conventional automotive promotional event.

Waking Up Beside the River

One of the best parts of camping is sometimes the part where nothing particularly dramatic happens. You wake up somewhere different. Instead of traffic outside the window, there is a river beside the campsite. Instead of rows of houses or buildings, there are tents and Jetour vehicles belonging to families who made the same journey. We stayed through Sunday and eventually packed up before leaving River Ranch that afternoon. By then, the Adventure Camp had become more than the mini drive, prizes, V2L giveaway or even the camping itself. What stayed with us most was the community.

More Than a Promotional Event

Car companies regularly hold events to promote their vehicles. But there is an important difference between an event designed primarily to show customers a product and one that actually gives existing owners something useful to experience. For this Adventure Camp, Jetour and UAAAGI brought owners together and allowed them to use their vehicles in an environment different from their normal daily routines. Participation was provided to Jetour owners without an event fee. Owners received meals, activities, entertainment, the convoy experience and, importantly, a V2L adapter that can continue to be useful long after everyone has gone home. The V2L distribution also made sense within the camping theme. Instead of simply explaining what Vehicle-to-Load can do, owners were placed in an environment where that capability becomes immediately understandable. Need a light beside your tent? Use the car. Need to charge your devices? Use the car. Want to run a fan or another compatible electrical appliance while camping? The vehicle's battery can become your source of power. For people interested in traveling to places away from conventional electrical infrastructure, that capability can make a meaningful difference.

The Bigger Value Was the Community

After spending October 10 and 11 at River Ranch, our biggest takeaway wasn't about a specification on the T1, T2 or G700. It was about ownership. Buying a vehicle normally ends with the keys being handed over at the dealership. After that, most owners go their separate ways. Events like the Jetour Adventure Camp add something beyond that transaction. They give owners an opportunity to meet one another, compare experiences, learn more about their vehicles and simply enjoy being part of a larger group. For us, it was our first Jetour mini drive. It was our first Jetour Adventure Camp. We arrived as Car No. 12 in a convoy of Jetour vehicles. We left two days later having experienced camping beside the river, group activities, music, good food, the launch of Jetour Club PH and a new V2L adapter that we can actually use on future trips. We didn't win the DJI drone. We didn't win the camera. We didn't win the raffle. But that really wasn't the most important part of the weekend. What mattered was seeing Jetour owners come together and seeing the brand make that gathering possible. Sometimes the best part of owning an adventure-oriented vehicle isn't discovering how far the vehicle can take you. It's discovering who you meet when you get there.
