RVs
Homes on wheels
RVs are recreational vehicles—motorhomes, campers, and trailers designed for travel and temporary living.
They range from compact campervans to bus-sized coaches with full kitchens and bathrooms.
RV culture centers on road trips and campgrounds: They sold their house and now live full-time in an RV.
Also spelled RV's.
