What’s the difference between a campervan, RV and a motorhome?

The terms ‘campervan’, ’RV’ (Recreational Vehicle) and ‘motorhome’ are used in different ways across the globe and often interchanged depending on the country, so it can get confusing! However, they do have distinct differences, mainly in size, features and usage.

Campervans and Campers are usually smaller than motorhomes and RVs. They can be converted vans or small buses equipped with a bed/s, a small kitchen and sometimes a compact bathroom. The most well-known is the VW Campervan, which can also be a VW camper or even VW camper van! The primary aim of a campervan is mobility and ease of driving, making them ideal for travellers who are navigating narrower roads like those often found in European countries.

A motorhome is a self-contained vehicle designed for both transport and sleeping. They are generally larger than campervans and offer more home from home options such as fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms with a shower, more living and sleeping space.

An RV or Recreational Vehicle is an umbrella term that covers campervans, motorhomes and towables. Essentially, any vehicle designed for recreational use and equipped with living space and amenities found in a home can be called an RV. However, it is a term primarily used in America that has only really been used in recent years to reference UK and European vehicles, where the terms motorhome or campervan are more prevalent.
