A large motor vehicle equipped with living accommodations for recreational travel.
Compound word combining 'motor' (from Latin movere 'to move') and 'home' (from Old English hām). First appeared in American English in the 1960s during the rise of recreational vehicle culture.
The motorhome represents the ultimate American dream of mobility and independence - literally putting your home on wheels. This compound word perfectly captures the post-war suburban ideal of combining domestic comfort with automotive freedom.
