Quiz: How well do you know RVs?
100 Days of Camping Day# 18
How well do you know the RV lingo? Well, let's start at the beginning, what constitutes an "RV"? It's an acronym for "Recreational Vehicle". Some people think only motorhomes are RVs, but a motorhome is simply an RV with a motor. I took my kids on a scavenger picture hunt to scout out the different kinds and we found all but two, but I'm still on the lookout and will add image answers of my own when I get the chance. (I have to own the pictures to put them in the gallery).
I'm not going to take score, just read the different questions, look at the picture and tell yourself what you think the answer is. Then click on the image gallery and read the captions to find the answers. Have fun! Now, is it sad or awesome that my kids can get 100%?

I'm sure I haven't touched on all of the RVs out there, there are also Super-class Cs and another slew of sub categories. And I'm not going to touch on the tiny-house movement lingo. Some RVs are truly unique, like the Eco-Womb pictured below. It's engine has been converted to use veggie grease waste, often gathered from fast-food restaurants like McDonalds. How cool is that?
