Americans would call them travel trailers, or camper trailers, and I would also categorize fifth-wheel campers as trailers, despite their sometimes enormous size, because they are pulled by a separate vehicle.
Paul wrote earlier: In the US the term RV is a blanket term covering self-propelled, trailers and all other sub-categories To continue exploring that suggestion, we could create a new top-level tag, say shop=recreational_vehicle, or shop=rv, further characterize it using sells=trailed;self_propelled or some similar term, and then go on to flesh out the details using other sub-tags as previously suggested. Recreation_vehicle covers all the bases, is newer a term than caravan so perhaps less "loaded" with historical baggage, and would work best for the country within which the lion's share of such vehicles are bought and sold.
