In North America the term recreational vehicle and its acronym, RV, are generally used to refer to a vehicle equipped with living space and amenities found in a home. A recreational vehicle normally includes a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a living room. In other countries the terms caravan or camper van are more common, and the vehicles themselves vary, typically being smaller than in North America.

RVs are intended for everything from brief leisure activities such as vacations and camping, to full-time living, for which they are often parked in special trailer parks. (However, many trailer parks are reserved just for mobile homes, not to be confused with RVs and motorhomes.) RVs can also be rented in most major cities and tourist areas.

Furthermore, they are occasionally used as mobile offices for business travelers and often include customizations such as extra desk space, an upgraded electrical system, a generator, and satellite Internet.

troubleshooting recreational vehicle propane refridgerators?
Q. I'm trying to figure out why my propane refridgerator is not functioning. It was unused for 18 months. (worked before that) The propane burner is functioning well with blue flame and the unit is level but there seems to be a problem with the ammonia system (or thermostat?). There is a periodic gurgling sound but no cooling happening. Any tips?
Asked by G L - Sun Jul 9 20:57:59 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The refrigeration system of an RV uses absorption refrigeration, it is quite different from your refrigerator or airconditioner in your house. Your best bet would be to find a company that specializes in absorption or take it to an RV repair shop, besides, you wont be able to go down to home depot and purchase this type of ammonia.

Buying a recreational vehicle (travel trailer) any tips?
Q. Me and my husband are looking at buying our first travel trailer. Are there any basic things we need to look for or tips anyone could give? We are thinking an '05 or '06 and no more than a 32'... thanks in advance for any advice!
Asked by VICalum - Tue Jan 5 16:54:21 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes, if buying a new one, please take the time to read and understand the warranty, what is the responsibility of the seller, and who pays in case of road failure. Pay particular attention to warranty on "slide outs" if contained, and the appliances. Second, don't take the word of any sales person regarding the capacity of the tow vehicle, get the information from the vehicle dealer and the people that install the hitches and tow packages, as the RV dealers will tell you most anything to make the sale. If buying from a private owner, look very careful for any water damage, on ceilings, in closets and lower side walls, and check roof condition for possible repairs. These travel trailers are actually a great way to see the country, and… [cont.]
