Recreational vehicle and RVs are intended for everything from brief
leisure activities such as vacations and camping, to full-time living, for which
they are often parked in special trailer parks. RVs can also be used as mobile
offices.

Campervan
A campervan , known as Motorcaravan, Dormobiles or caravanettes in the UK,
or as 'Kombis' in Australia and other countries, is a self-propelled vehicle
equipped either with a "pop-up" roof that provides
both transport and sleeping accommodation.
Campervans are considered Class B recreational vehicles or motorhomes
Campervans usually have a small kitchen
with a gas/electric refrigerator and a two-three burner gas hob and grill. They
generally have dual-voltage lighting which can work off either a dedicated
battery (other than the van battery) known as a leisure battery, or off AC
power, supplied at a campsite via a hook-up cable. Larger models may include a
water heater, a portable toilet and even a shower.
Types
here are different classes of vehicles generally labeled as RVs:
Class A motorhome
Constructed on either a commercial truck chassis, a specially designed motor
vehicle chassis, or a commercial bus chassis.
Luxury Bus Conversion
A commercial passenger bus that has been converted into an RV. Highly customized
with luxury components, bus conversions are typically the largest motorhomes
available.
class B campervan
Built using a conventional van, to which either a raised roof has been added or
had the back replaced by a low-profile body (aka coach-built).
Class C motorhome -- Luton.
Built on a truck chassis with an attached cab section, which is usually van
based, but may also be pickup truck based or even large truck based. They are
characterized by a distinctive cab-over profile, the "cab-over" containing a bed
or an "entertainment" section. Also referred to as "mini-motorhomes".
Truck camper
A unit that is temporarily let into the bed or chassis of a pickup truck. These
are much favored by hunters and other backwoods travelers
Folding trailer
Also known as a pop-up or tent camper, a light-weight unit with sides that
collapse for towing and storage.
Travel trailer -- caravan.
A unit with rigid sides designed to be towed by some larger vehicle with a
bumper or frame hitch.
Teardrop trailer
A compact, lightweight travel trailer that resembles a teardrop, seen
being towed by motorcycles.
Hybrid trailer
A blend between a travel trailer and a folding (tent) trailer. One type has
rigid sides and pull-out tent sections (usually beds) while another type's top
section of walls and its roof can be lowered over its bottom section to reduce
its height for towing.
Fiberglass mini 5th wheel
Designed to be towed by a pickup or medium duty truck equipped with a special
hitch called a fifth wheel coupling. Part of the trailer body extends over the
truck bed, shortening the total length of vehicle plus trailer combined.
Park model (Vacation/Resort Cottage)
This is a standard travel trailer that is not self-contained. It is designed for
park camping only,
Toterhome
An uncommon term indicating a motorhome built around a semi truck chassis (such
as a Freightliner). This type of motor home allows the pulling of large and
heavy trailers.
Toy hauler
A motorhome, 5th-wheel, or travel trailer, it is designed to be part living
space, and part garage for storing things such as motorcycles and ATVs.
