| + | :::Thanks. I wasn't kidding, but I thought it might be a brand name used generically. I guess we call them simply campervans or motorhomes here, depending on the size.

I want to add, Rhonda, that that's an excellent picture, with fire, marshmallow, trees and tent it's iconic of the camping experience. -Robyn 23:42, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Marshmallows certainly toasted a lot in the UK, so no worries with the translation there... but... what's a Winnebago? :-s -- Benjw 04:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, on the off chance you're not kidding, it's a like a vacation home that you drive, with a kitchen and a shower and beds and closets. A recreational vehicle. It wouldn't fit on English roads. People rent them for holidays, or retire and buy them and drive all over North America. Winnebago is a brand name, but it stands in for all of them. -Robyn 05:04, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
