RVers
Mobile home travelers
RVers are people who travel or live in recreational vehicles—motorhomes, camper vans, or trailers equipped for living.
The term encompasses weekend enthusiasts, retirees touring the country, and those who've adopted full-time RV life.
RVers often form communities at campgrounds and RV parks: We met other RVers who'd been on the road for years.
