Actually, recreational vehicles can be set up like that of the truck campers, they can have their individual "motor power" like that of the "motorhomes," or they can be hauled by one more automobile just like the "folding camping trailers" and the "travel trailers."

Contrary to most popular belief, the basic description and definition of recreational vehicles do not include the mobile homes or the park trailers that are permanently manufactured to accommodate people for continuing dwelling, "off-the-road" motor vehicles, and "conversion vehicles."

These facilities may vary depending on the size of the recreational vehicle.
