campervans
Homes on wheels
Campervans are vehicles that combine transportation with living quarters—a van converted or manufactured to include sleeping space, and often a small kitchen and storage.
They offer more mobility than full motorhomes but less living space: We toured the Scottish Highlands in a campervan.
The term is more common in British English; Americans often say camper van or simply camper.
