tourer

One seeing sights

A tourer is a vehicle designed for long-distance travel, especially a touring car or motorcycle built for comfort on extended journeys: We rented a tourer for our trip through the Alps.

In British usage, a tourer may also be a caravan or trailer suited for touring holidays.
