What's the Difference Between an RV and a Camper?
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 23, 2025 / Often it seems like the terms RV and camper get used interchangeably. However, there are some distinctions between these two types of recreational products. Knowing if you're in the market for one or the other and inquiring about RV loans with potential lenders is important. Here's what you need to know about RVs and campers to help clarify the difference between the two. What is an RV? The abbreviation RV stands for 'recreational vehicle.' Officially, this term can apply to a wide range of products that are either: When most people use the term RV in everyday conversation, they generally talk about self-propelled vehicles. RVs come in three major classifications: In terms of price, RVs are generally more expensive than campers, but it also is highly dependent on the size. On the low end of RV motorhomes, you might pay around $50,000, but the price can rise into the six-figure range for larger Class A type. Campers are usually more moderately priced, starting at between $20,000 and $30,000 on the low end, but to around $100,000 for more expensive models. What is a camper? The term 'camper' typically refers to any type of RV that must be pulled by another vehicle (such as a truck or SUV). This is why the terms RV and camper can be confusing. Although all campers are considered RVs, not all RVs are campers. Similar to self-propelled RVs, campers also come in various shapes and sizes. Below are a few of the most common types. Campers can be ideal for RV shoppers who are on a budget or who already have a vehicle suitable for towing. The bottom line Even though the terms RV and camper seem interchangeable, there are some distinctions. Technically all campers are RVs, but not all RVs are campers. However, in most everyday usage, the line between the two is whether one is self-propelled or needs to be towed by another vehicle. Ultimately, deciding which one to get will come down to the buyer's budget, towing capacity, and personal preference.

Is this the world's smallest mobile house? Inside the tiny home on wheels that's just 7-feet long (but has a toilet and shower)
There's downsizing – then there's this. Step inside what could be the world's smallest home on wheels. The living space measures just 21 square feet – which is three feet by seven feet – but the creator, YouTuber Levi Kelly, has managed to squeeze in all the mod cons you'd need for a comfortable night or two. The features of this camper truck include a shower, toilet, bed, sink, running water and solar power. The wood-frame living quarters perch on the back of an imported Japanese 1998 4x4 Honda Acty pickup truck, which Levi spent $9,000 upgrading to a tiny home. Levi, who lives in Hillsboro, Ohio, reveals that the shower system works by attaching the hose to the faucet in the sink – fed by a five-gallon water container – and threading it through the open window and hooking it onto the side of the camper. The flushing portable toilet, meanwhile, is small enough to be used inside, with a bubble window in the roof available for taller users to poke their head into. Levi, who has amassed over 730,000 subscribers on YouTube, points out that the camper also features "the smallest wood stove on the market" and a fan that blows air through ventilation slates. You can cook inside, too, thanks to a portable cooker that slides under the bed when it's not in use. Levi admits that if you're taller than 5ft 10in, you may not be very comfortable on the bed (which converts from a bench), but describes the set-up as "genuinely cozy". And he told The Independent: "I would be willing to stay in it indefinitely if I were a single man. "Is it better than a home? In most cases no, but I can go where typical homes can't. "I haven't stayed in it longer than a night, so maybe my opinion would change quickly." The truck can reach 60mph with the (removable) camping unit on the back, and Levi said that while it's not available to rent, he will be selling it.
