campervanning
Nomadic vehicle travel
Campervanning is traveling or vacationing in a campervan—a vehicle equipped with sleeping quarters and basic amenities.
The activity emphasizes freedom and self-sufficiency: We spent three weeks campervanning through New Zealand.
The term is more common in British, Australian, and New Zealand English than American English, where "RVing" predominates.
