There are many types of camping cars. These are generally known as recreational vehicles or RVs, as these can be used for camping as well as other recreational activities.
The most luxurious and expensive type is the class A motor home. These are modified trucks. Motor homes are used for longer distances and for carrying a large number of people.
The vehicle built on a commercial bus is just another kind of RV. These vehicles offer larger space and luxury.
A campervan is a true camping car. Designed from a typical van, this vehicle has a raised roof. Sometimes in these vans, the backside is replaced with a coach occupying cabinet.
A combination of the van and the truck is the class C motor home. The front side is like that of a conventional van, while the rear is built on a chassis of a truck.
They are also known as Cab-overs, in which the roof is raised over the top of the van. These mini-Motor homes include a bed and some type of entertainment media.
Truck camper is another type of a camping car. This is more like a small camping car which is built on a pickup truck.
This is mainly used by hunters and other jungle travelers. The camping cars are also made by connecting a folding trailer to the van.
The folding trailer is pulled by the van and has sufficient storage space. A caravan is a bigger version of a folding trailer. It is towed by a van and also has larger space inside it.
The trailers and caravans are not exactly the mobile homes. The extended storage compartments dont include the bathrooms, toilets and kitchens. One can only store the equipment for camping and sometimes bicycles and motorcycles too.
