A Bit Of History For “Recreational Vehicle”
A minimal RV typically contains beds, a table, food preparation and storage areas. Larger models add full bathrooms, refrigerators, living areas, master bedrooms, etc.
Some RVs are very elaborate, with satellite TV and Internet access, slide-out sections, and awnings, and either storing a small car inside it, or providing the option of towing it behind the RV.
RVs can cost (new) from less than US$10,000 to $1,500,000 or more. Very high-end Class A motorhomes, for example, can cost between US$100,000 to $650,000 new.
Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International makes the Terra Wind – an amphibious Class A RV which costs between $850,000 and $1.2 million.
In 2006, Featherlite Luxury Coaches debuted the Featherlite Vantare Platinum Plus, a motorhome featuring marble floors, a built-in treadmill, and other luxury features valued at US$2.5 million.
Some people craft their own RVs out of cars, vans, school buses, and buses.
