RVs

A recreational vehicle (RV) is, in North America, the usual term for a motor vehicle or trailer equipped with living space and amenities found in a home. Several definitions exist for RVs and vary by region, including "camper van", "caravan", and "motorhome", but are also used to designate different types of vehicles outside North America.

A recreational vehicle normally includes a kitchen, a bathroom, and one or more sleeping facilities. Less commonly found features are a hot tub, a dining room, a desk, and a vanity closet. Most RVs are single-deck; however, double-deck RVs also exist.

RVs are defined as either motor vehicles or towable trailers, and are primarily intended for leisure activities such as camping and vacations. They are usually found in RV parks or campgrounds, and can be rented in most major cities and tourist areas. They are occasionally used as mobile offices for business travelers, and in those instances often include customizations such as extra desk space, an upgraded electrical system, a generator, and satellite Internet. Other RVs serve as traveling permanent homes. People who use their RVs as traveling permanent homes on a full-time basis are commonly referred to as "full-timers".

Recreational vehicle types include the motorhome (classes A, B, B+, and C), travel trailer, fifth wheel trailer, toy hauler, popup trailer, and slide-in camper (which fits in the bed of a pickup truck). See also the list of recreational vehicles.

Most modern dictionaries give one of the meanings for the word caravan as "a camper equipped with living quarters." They, in turn, give one of the meanings for camper as "a recreational vehicle equipped for camping out while travelling."
