Is a motorhome a caravan? (1 Viewer)

[Hoovie]

A friend has just bought a 2002 Bessacar E3550 and the dealer told him it’s a Motorhome not a Campervan because it has a toilet inside. I’ve not heard that definition before.

If people feel the need to decide if they have a Motorhome or a Campervan (they are both "Motor Caravans") then the bathroom facilities tend to be the differentiator - the typical "Campervan" does not have a shower or toilet cubicle (they might have a pull-out portapotti).

I tend to work to that definition if I want to decide what to call a specific Motor Caravan (but why bother?)

With regard to what the difference is between motor home and camper van, in our experience it depends on the site.
In all cases where they stipulate campervans only I email the dimensions of ours 6m long 2.4 wide and have always been accepted as a campervan all be it a large one.
