Campervan
A campervan is a self-propelled vehicle that provides both transport and sleeping accommodation. The term mainly describes vans that have benn fitted out for use as accommodation. They are considered as an alternative to the purpose-built recreational vehicle or motorhome because they are smaller and handle like most vans.
Typically, they are equipped with a "pop-up" roof which is raised during camping and can sleep usually two adults. They have a very small kitchen with a small gas/electric refrigerator and a two-burner gas hob and grill. For lighting, they would have dual-voltage lighting which can work off either the car battery or off the AC power.
They are also commonly known as Dormobiles in the UK or as Kombis around the world. This was after Volkswagen used their 1960s van as the basis for a campervan and marketed it as a Kombi for both driving and sleeping. Since the 70s, the Japanese full-size vans like the Toyota Hiace and the Nissan Urvan, as well as the Ford Transit amd the Bedford vans became popular as "base vehicles" for campervans.
