"In North American English the term recreational vehicle and the acronym, RV, are generally used to refer to an enclosed piece of equipment dually used as both a vehicle, a temporary travel home or a full time home. 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 (however, many trailer parks are reserved just for Mobile Homes, not to be confused with Motorhomes). RVs can also be rented in most major cities and tourist areas. There are different classes of vehicles generally labelled as RVs: Truck Camper a camper shell unit that is temporarily affixed to the bed or chassis of a pickup truck. Folding Trailer also known as a pop-up or tent camper, a light-weight unit with sides that collapse for towing and storage. Suitable for towing by many vehicles.

Travel Trailer

also known as a caravan, a unit with rigid sides designed to be towed by some larger vehicles with a bumper or frame hitch.

Teardrop Trailer

a compact, lightweight travel trailer that resembles a teardrop

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.

5th Wheel Trailer

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

This is a standard travel trailer that is not self contained. It is designed for park camping only, and while it is easily moved from site to site, as a normal trailer is (this is NOT a mobile home) it is not capable of "dry camping" as it does not have any water storage tanks, it must be used with hookups.

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 motor home, 5th wheel or travel trailer, it is designed to be part living space, and part garage for storing things such as motorcycles and ATV's.

Another set of mainly North American-usage definitions:

Motorhome

Class A Motorcoach constructed on either a commercial truck chassis, a specially designed motor vehicle chassis, or a commercial bus chassis.

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 (compared to a Class C).

Class C Motorhome

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(freightliner) 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."The term "Minnie Winnie" sometimes is used in references to Class C motorhomes, originally coined by one of the founders of Winnebago Industries, Inc."
