Motorhome

A motorhome (or motor coach) is a type of self-propelled recreational vehicle or RV which offers living accommodation combined with a vehicle engine. The term motorhome is most commonly used in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada.

Motorhomes are part of the much larger associated group of mobile homes which includes, caravans also known as tourers and static caravans. The overarching 'mobile leisure' termanology encumpases all aspects of the industry from caravan parks, sales dealerships, manufactures, holiday parks through to the vast supporting services to the sector.

Features

A motorhome comprises sleeping accommodation for between two and eight people. Each sleeping place is called a berth. Each berth is either fixed or converts from another part of the motorhome's interior, usually a fold out sofa. A kitchenette area will contain cooking equipment. The type of equipment included differs depending on the motorhome make and model, but generally a kitchenette has an oven, grill, stovetop, and sink. More luxury models may also provide a microwave. A separate washroom will be housed in the motorhome. Each washroom will have a flushing cassette toilet, shower and basin. The cassette toilet sometimes swivels to provide extra room and can be accessed from outside the motorhome for easy emptying. More recent motorhomes will have a separate shower cubicle.

Motorhome (band)

Motorhome was formed in the early 1990s by Josiah Mazzaschi after he moved from Boston to Chicago to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Josiah met Kristen Thiele at art school. They were joined by Laura Masura on drums. They were initially courted and groomed for a major label deal that never panned out.

Motorhome released two albums, "Sex Vehicle" on the Dirt label, and "Man of the Future" by themselves.

Josiah Mazzaschi later formed Light FM (band).
