motorhomes
Drivable vacation lodgings
Motorhomes are recreational vehicles with living quarters built into them—combining transportation and accommodation in one unit.
Unlike travel trailers, which are towed, motorhomes have their own engines and can be driven.
They range from compact camper vans to bus-sized coaches with full kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms: They sold their house and traveled the country in a motorhome.
