What's the difference between a camper and an RV?

The main difference between a camper and an RV is that a camper cannot be driven independently, while an RV has its own motor. According to the RV Industry Association, an RV is a vehicular unit designed for temporary living quarters, either with its own motor or towed by another vehicle. Campers are generally smaller and less expensive than RVs, but may have fewer amenities. RVs come in three classes (A, B, C) based on size and chassis, while campers include fifth-wheel trailers and conventional travel trailers.

Vintage Vogue Motorhome: A Look at the Luxury RV's History

A vintage Vogue motorhome, a luxury Class A RV from the 1980s, was spotted at a used car dealership in Kalispell, Montana, in showroom condition. The Vogue brand was founded in 1974 in Los Angeles by Andy Alburn, a former Winnebago dealer. Production continued until 1998, with models built on Chevrolet, Gillig, John Deere, Crown, and Prevost chassis. The company changed hands in 1990 to Harvey Mitchell and in 1998 to Featherlite, which renamed the line Vantare.

Renting a camper van eased a rugged road trip to Oregon's Leslie Gulch

A journalist from Oregon rented a camper van through Outdoorsy for a trip to Leslie Gulch, known as 'Oregon's Grand Canyon'. The route from Bend took six hours, with 16 miles of gravel and 8 miles of rocky road. The van included a bed, kitchen with induction cooktop and microwave. Slocum Creek Campground has no water or cell service, so a satellite communicator is recommended.
