I don't really think we'd have to differentiate between motorhomes &
campervans, because really, they are the same concept, just different
sizes, but crrying on from that, & just to throw another level of
complication in :-), where do camper trailers come into things.

For clarification for those who may not be into camping, a camper trailer
is effectively a tent mounted on top of a normal box trailer, that then
folds out for use.

Under that list, would they be a tent or a caravan? For a short stop they
don't usually need to be pegged down as a tent has to be, but they're also
not just a pull up, open the door & that's it caravan?
