The first recreational vehicles were produced in France in 1810 for living purposes, but modern recreational vehicles for leisure began to be manufactured in the United States by small businesses in the late 1920s. Self-contained motorhomes were first made in the 1950s, and RV dealers can now be found worldwide, being particularly popular in the United States. Some people embrace the mobile lifestyle provided by RVs, using them to travel south for the winter and return north in spring, or earning an income while traveling long-term in their recreational vehicle.

around 1810 although their purpose was more related with
having a place to live in rather than recreational. Modern
recreational vehicles began to be produced in the US by
small businesses in the late 1920s. Self-contained motor
homes were first manufactured during the 1950s.

3. Some people love the possibility of having a mobile home so
much that they create a lifestyle around it. Many use their
RVs to travel to warmer sites during the winter, returning to
their original homes in spring. In the US, this is called snow
birding while in Australia senior citizens that take this
approach are known as grey nomads. An rv dealer caters
mostly to retirees but other families and individuals also
chose recreational vehicles to travel for vacations. Some
even earn an income while traveling through long distance
jobs.
