Nope, a mobile home is not the same as an RV or travel_trailer. Have a look at the illustrations on the Wikipedia page. It is, as the Wikipedia definition says, a prefabricated structure meant for permanent living. It has wheels, hence the mobile part of its name but it's moved very infrequently,

Re: [Tagging] Creating shop=caravan

Warin, You're in Australia, right? When I was traveling in New Zealand I'm pretty sure they called small motorhomes caravans. But maybe not. I have no personal knowledge of the word caravan. To me, it makes no sense at all to label anything having wheels as a caravan when everyone knows a caravan

while my dictionary also states that motorhome is an American term, we already have it established as access tag: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:motorhome Cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org
