To me a camper rides in the bed of a truck, a trailer is pulled and a motorhome is driven. They are all RV’s.

^^^^Same as Chuck, but nowadays folks call anything a camper. You just look or ask what it is to know what you are talking about. Guess if you can camp in it it's a "camper".

I think it’s regional or location based. Like what some people call sugary carbonated beverages; pop, soda, coke (even if it isn’t an actual coke).

A few years ago our lawn mower finally died and I said to my wife; it’s had the radish, time for a new one. Her look was priceless, WTF does that mean? I am born and raised in New England and it’s a common term, she’s a midwestern girl and had never heard the term.

Anyway, we have a camper trailer.

Yea, and it really ticks off the big rig motor home owners when you refer to their unit as "a camper!" It's so much fun to tease them though!
