Question RV or Motorhome?

[DustyNick78]

I've seen threads/posts that only mention RVs. Does that also mean Motorhome?

The way I understand it and I believe is correct. RV covers all. Motorhome, class A B C. Fifth wheel, Travel Trailer and even Pop up campers.

And then you have the ones who call everything "campers", which really irritates those with expensive rigs or those who's nose to too high in the air. I drive a bus. I live in a "rolling apartment", "camper" or "residential vehicle". I also drive a truck camper too! Slide in truck campers are considered "recreational vehicles".

Wait until you call parking overnight in a store parking lot "boondocking", which is what we called it for years before the word was appropriated to mean a very narrow definition.

Actually I met this very nice couple in a prevost who invited me over for drinks in their “camper.’ Yes. That is what they called it. We are friends to this day.

I agree with @John&Andrea. RVs cover the whole gambit.

I should have posted that "noses in the air" go with expensive "sticks-&-staples". Please don't confuse a bus with a "sticks-&-staples" rig. Even if it has "bus" in the name. BTW, I used to have an Eagle 05 and posted on the bus boards long before I posted on the recreational forums.

Recreational vehicle - Wikipedia​

https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Recreational_vehicle

A recreational vehicle, often abbreviated as RV, is a motor vehicle or trailer that includes living quarters designed for accommodation.

A RV can be lots of different things but it almost always means it moves and you can sleep in it.
We had a popup trailer my dad called a camper
We bought a travel trailer I called it a camper
I think over the years we had 3 travel trailers, I called all of them a camper
We bought a 5th wheel I called it a camper
We bought a motorhome guess what, I call it a camper too

Generally speaking - a motorhome is an RV, but an RV is not only a motorhome...
