Bus or Motor Home

I don't think it really matters.
Some call motor homes, campers.
Some call motor homes, mobile homes.
Some call motor homes, vans.
Some call TT's, motor homes.

I just call our Southwind, the wind.
And, I gave up trying to correct people. They can call my RV anything, I don't get offended. :)

No correct term so call it what you want and I will not tell you what my father called one as he was born in 1908 and lived to be 90. Served in WW II, recalled for the Korean war, and was scared by the great depression. He clearly felt anyone who owned one was lacking in intelligence.

I own a 42ft. Motor Home. I have heard people call them a BUS or a MOTOR HOME. I would like to know which term is correct?

I always think of the big Blue Bird, or flex or GMC when I hear bus. Not saying it's right, just how my brain was programmed over the years.

I call my 96 Rexhall 32 footer "the bus" no particular reason.

I still often call them "Winnebagos", regardless of brand. I usually call my own the bus or the RV, though RV as a general term for the type as opposed to a particular unit is too broad a term. Motorhome or motorcoach sounds snotty to me. I suppose "class A RV" is succinct but I dislike the elitism implied by the A thing.

Tell us what you have.
Than maybe we can tell you what we think it is.

There are motorhomes which are true bus conversions (Prevost and MCI, mostly) and they are always called a bus. What makes one a bus or a coach is more a state of mind. They are all motorhomes but I believe the term bus originated when the first, used to be a bus, was built.
I would call what you have either a motorhome, RV or coach. However, you can call it absolutely anything you like and you will still be right!!!!!

Yes, I don't know why Tiffin calls it a 'bus'. We don't even like the term 'coach'...sounds stuffy. We used 'RV' or motorhome.

Tiffin likes to call their Allegro a bus. Far from it on IMHO.
