>Possibly a separate page again for shop=motorhome? (I think that would be a good coverall term?)
I would prefer that but it's an American term. We might as well just stay with caravan. Plus, I do think the tag you're proposing could, with enough thought, be made to work for all types of recreational_vehicles/caravans. There was a thread just a while ago on this list discussing ti-lo's solo initiative to upgrade motorcycle=shop tagging. It was/is a sensible scheme that integrated the functions of dealer, parts shop and accessories shop by using subtags to make the distinctions. (See the Services section: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dmotorcycle#Services_tags). His scheme was criticized because he didn't discuss it fully enough on this list but aside from that, I liked the idea. The main tag and all subtags except those that already stand on their own, begin with the same keyword, motorcycle, and proceed from there, adding as much detail as desired or known. Hence, one might have caravan:parts=yes caravan:accessories=yes/no caravan:sales=yes/no caravan:type=type_a/type_b/type_c/fifth_wheel/trailer second_hand=yes/only caravan:propulsion=trailer/yes/solar_powered (wishful thinking) [also gas/diesel?] The caravan:types are well-known to anyone shopping for RVs (in America for sure but Europe or Asia, I dunno) but the tag is optional. Use it for fine-grained tagging, ignore it otherwise.
