Hmmmmm......i see an awful lot of motorhomes with little 'get up and go' which have a tendency to 'stay put' for months on end, let alone days!Motorhome = get up and go.
Caravan = stay put for days and days.
All depends on the size. A 20footer will fit in most supermarket parking bays.....but were not (and still am not) sure about the inconvenience of having to up sticks and take the motorhome with us if we want to go out for the day or shopping etc... or visit a large town.
Yep........all motorhomes have an engine, gearbox and transmission.One point we found is that Motorhomes are lots more expensive than caravans!!!!

Well they have everything a R.V has inc slide out,for a fraction of the cost & no need for a toad:thumbhow easy is it to reverse a motor home with toad attached)plus they bend which makes them very manoeuvrable.hmmm.. are 5vers not just big caravans .. pulled by big trucks ..?

It really is down to a personal choice where you would need to choose what would suit you. I personally prefer the freedom of a motorhome, I nearly always wild camp something that you can't do on the continent with a caravan. As a previous poster said if your idea is to stay on a site for most of your trip then maybe a car + caravan is the best for you. For me a MH holiday is more of a journey where we are never sure where we are going. Often people we meet on our travels will often influence where we go to. Maybe you should post the question on a Caravan based forum as well to get a balanced view.

Caravans don't!
what is a 5VR?
a 5er is a caravan/travel trailer without a draw bar, towed by a pickup truck.
another name for a fifth wheel trailer
it has a pin and plate arrangement the same as an artic truck.
the plate is fitted on the pickup load bed and the pin on the trailer slots in and locks.
much better arrangement as you can tow a heavier weight than a regular drawbar 'van and is much more stable.
