Thank you guys. Casa Rodante seems to be the common denominator. Tonight I asked my teacher (He is from Argentina) He also said "casa rodante" as the acceptable term "official". FOR VALERIA VERONA: The translation is for Los Angeles, California. Eventhough the official term is Casa Rodante, at least here in Los Angeles if we keep Motor Home in Spanish, people will understand. Actually the most common term is RV for 'Recreational Vehicle'. shows for this kind of motor homes are very popular. So RV's is another generic name for a Motor Home.

motor home


Explanation:
En Argentina, lo decimos en inglés.
Casa rodante es distinto. La casa rodante se remolca con una auto o camioneta mientras que el motor home es un vehículo integrado.
