[Tagging] Business which sells static caravans / mobile homes: shop=mobile_home or shop=static_caravan?

Back in January when I created shop=caravan & the other versions, there was
*very* extensive discussion on here regarding the various options &
combinations of names.

You may like to find a comfortable seat, pour yourself either a hot coffee
or a cold beer, & have a read of

:-)

Thanks
