This is about caravaning and camping by Amateur Radio Operators and their families, using mobile and portable radio communications. In some places, "caravan" can mean a camping trailer, but we mean traveling together. Camping may be in a tent, SUV, trailer, or motorhome.

RV Mobile Radio: Ham RVers need mobile radio. It is not a convenience for caravaning, it is a necessity. Especially VHF FM. HF is popular among Ham RVers who put up antennas while camping that are mobile-not-in-motion!.
RVs are for retirees? Where did that idea start? In the '60s and '70s, a lot of reasonably sized RVs were sold to young families. That generation took RVing for granted and stayed with it. But smaller hybrid and lite trailers are now going to young families again.
