The term "recreational vehicle" or RV usually calls specific to a mobile home spirit, perhaps a Winnebago brand. It is a great vehicle in which the living area and the driver's seat are all part of the same structure, rather than the "car" part towing the "living" part.
But recreational vehicles come in many shapes and sizes, and are still called correctly RVs. What you buy depends on your needs.
The camper (called a Winnebago, even if it's actually a different brand) practical because it reasonable living space, including a place to sleep, offers meals prepared and use the bathroom. The driver is not separated from his passengers, they are in the "back seat" as the living spaces are located directly behind him. Many people, especially retirees living in mobile homes full time, traveling the country and enjoy their mobile lifestyle. RV parks are sprouting across the country, offers RV travel enthusiasts a place to stay and relax, hooked up to electric posts, and even use the Internet.
Other recreational opportunities are better vehicles, makeshift, suitable not full-time living. The simplest type of RV is a simple truck camper, where a shell is attached to the bed of a pickup. This is normally used for day or weekend trips with supplies in the covered bed of the truck. The shell can the same object as a tent would (protection and heat), so it is useful to be used for outdoor camping.
Also common is the "fifth wheel", a trailer that attaches to a suggestion or medium-duty truck and dragged this way. A fifth wheel is like a motor home, except that the living area separate from the vehicle. This means the driver can not directly with people in the trailer when it by walkie-talkie or mobile phones. Fifth wheels are generally not as comfortable as mobile homes, either, as it is very useful for relatively short car trips and sightseeing.
