If I lived in it, I guess I would call it a motor "home", but to us it's just a camper :)
One thing is for sure - some motorhomes are 1-1/2" laminate walls with batt insulated roofs, just like their travel trailer counterparts, some motorhomes are 3-1/2" hung walls, just like their 5th wheel counterpart, so in the end, the type of "camper" doesn't matter, it has to do with the total volume inside, the type of construction and insulation, and the color and type of windows. At some point, that is engineered in the design, but loosely as many have found that struggle with not enough HVAC for the size "camper".
Best bet, expect better performance from one that has more ACs than you think it needs.
