It's been long said that the UK and the US are two countries separated by a common language, and that's equally true in the world of RVs.
As a simple example, the term RV, when used in the UK, means an American RV or, more precisely, what we call a class A motorhome, whereas in the US the term refers to one of a number of different types of recreation vehicle.
For more terms and definitions from both sides of the Atlantic click the Glossary button in the toolbar above. Also click the RV types button for an illustrated explanation of the various types and classes of RV.
While in the Glossary, check out the different meanings of the term caravan.
If you see or think of other RV-related terms with different meanings, feel free to post a reply here and I'll get them added. If a photo might add clarification to the words, feel free to attach it to your reply.
Thanks.
