recreational vehicle
Mobile vacation home
A recreational vehicle is a motor vehicle or trailer equipped for living in while traveling—typically with sleeping quarters, kitchen facilities, and a bathroom.
Often shortened to RV.
Recreational vehicles range from compact camper vans to bus-sized motorhomes: They sold their house and now live full-time in a recreational vehicle.
The category includes towable trailers and self-propelled units.
