Recreational vehicles (RVs) are, essentially, mobile homes. But RVs are not just mobile homes; some, as in Australia, are sports utility vehicles (SUVs). These are enclosed gear vehicles that offer space for relaxation and entertainment. They also have the means to carry bikes, boats, and other items. Comfort and convenience are primary in vehicles.

These vehicles, either bought or rented in North America and Canadian, function for holiday travel near or far, for family or groups of people who have shared plans. These seem right at the beach, resorts, picnic and camping areas, amusement parks, golf clubs, music concerts, and country parks. Homes-on-wheels, the larger recreational vehicles provide every convenience for adults and children, including TV (even satellite TV), DVD/CD amusement centers, food prep, sleeping areas, spacious tables, living areas, refrigerators, compactable seating, computer and Internet access, and an overall appealing, state-of-the-art appearance. These usually have good gas mileage and cost anywhere from $10,000 to $1,000,000, depending on size and amenities.

Courses of vehicles are as follows:

Truck Camper–this vehicle has a limited living space attached with a cap to the chassis.

Folding Camper Trailer–this vehicle that is lightweight that is pop up can be compacted for convenient storage. It can be towed by vehicles.

Travel Trailer–this vehicle is a camper trailer using a table, bathroom place, and a bumper with a towing hitch.

Hybrid Trailer–similar to the travel trailer, the trailers vehicle comes with a pull-out tent part. The other side has walls and a collapsible roof for towing advantage.

Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer–this recreational vehicle has a hitch and can be towed by pickups and other vehicles.

Toy Hauler–this recreational vehicle is a motor home with a living area, a "garage" for motorcycle/ATV storage, and a fifth-wheel travel trailer.

Park Model–much like the travel trailer, this recreational vehicle requires a tow vehicle for movement. A Highway-Movement Permit is required.

Motor Home–this vehicle is also called a Winnebago. This comes in three sub-classes:

Class A: Motor Coach — that ranges from 26 to 45 feet long and is built on chasses, like those designed for busses and trucks.

Class B: Campervan — a van with the body in the rear or a roof. These vary from 19 to 24 feet.

Class C: Motor Home — truck- or van-based with some living area. The length of the class varies from 17 to 34 feet.

Toterhome–having an unusual name, this vehicle refers to a motor home built on a Freightliner truck chassis and is designed to pull heavy loads while boasting all the amenities and features of a large motor home.

Recreational vehicles come and make, with diverse sets based on the individual's particular preferences and desires. These vehicles, though on a much smaller, can be arguably and comparably considered resorts on wheels (without the casinos), like mini-resorts or mini-hotel suites. Whatever variant is considered, comfort and enjoyment are a thing!
