Learning Recreation Vehicle the easy way
A minimal RV typically contains beds, a table, food preparation and
storage areas. Larger models add full bathrooms, refrigerators, living
areas, master bedrooms, etc. Some RVs are very elaborate, with
satellite TV and internet access, slide-out sections, and awnings; many
RVs can cost (new) from less then $10,000 to $100,000 with some costing
over $1 million. These high end RVs typically need to be financed by
banks or specialized lenders.
Many RVers stay at RV parks, most of which feature electrical, water
and sewer service (full hookups), as well as cable television and
wireless Internet. Amenties often include swimming pools, gamerooms and
even destination-resort activities such as horseback riding. While
others prefer staying at locations in rural, remote areas, called
Boondocking and still others at public campgrounds with minimal
facilities.
Advantages of RVs include not having to move one's things in and out of
motel rooms, not having to rent multiple motel rooms, sleeping in a bed
one is comfortable with and the fact that preparing food saves money
compared to eating in restaurants. At the same time, an RV provides
more organized living space and better protection from the weather than
a tent. Children also tend to like RVs.
Disadvantages of RVs include low fuel economy for the motorized RV or
tow vehicle, lack of maid service as experienced in motels (maid
service is available at a few high-end resorts), and larger RV models
can be hard for the novice to drive or tow.
Some people also live in RVs because they lack funds for more
conventional housing.
Similarly, RVs '' specifically, trailers which strongly resemble travel
trailers, but usually with fewer amenities '' have been used to
temporarily house victims of natural disasters. A notable example is
Hurricane Katrina; the federal disaster relief agency FEMA has ordered
large numbers of such trailers to house victims of the storm in
Louisiana and Mississippi.
Some people craft their own RVs out of cars, vans, or even used
schoolbuses.
Elkhart, Indiana, is known as the "RV Capital of the World" because it
is home to many RV manufacturers, including, Forest River, Heartland
RV, the Damon Corporation, Four Winds, Hy-Line, Keystone, Monaco, Sun
Valley, and Travel Supreme. Many other manufacturers, including
Dutchman, Gulf Stream, and Jayco, can be found in the nearby towns of
Goshen, Middlebury, Nappanee, and Wakarusa. In 2005, these locales
experienced a boom because of the large number of trailers ordered to
house Hurricane Katrina victims.

Re: Learning Recreation Vehicle the easy way
I'm pretty sure the orange warning sticker on the sun visor of my YJ refers
to it as a recreational vehicle.
It does not contain a bed, table, food preparation or storage area.
I think you're confused.
