“…For example, a second home may be both familiar by virtue of repeat visits and long-term (often multi-generational) ownership, and novel by virtue of changing surroundings and visitors (Jaakson 1986). Similarly, sustained use and occupancy of a recreational vehicle can generate feelings of home at the same time as it facilitates exploration through high levels of mobility (Caldicott, Scherrer, and Jenkins 2014).…”

“…The phenomenon of recreational camping -in its various manifestations -is observed throughout the world, albeit is viewed as particularly popular in the tourism economies of North America (Stephens et al, 1989;Janiskee, 1990;Timothy & Teye, 2009;Brooker & Joppe, 2014;Young, 2017), Australia (Caldicott et al, 2014) and New Zealand (Collins & Kearns, 2010;Collins et al, 2018). Its popularity is further recorded in several countries of Europe including Croatia (Grzinic et al, 2010;Cerovič, 2014), Denmark (Mikkelsen & Blichfeldt, 2015), Germany (Doğantan & Emir, 2019), Spain (Garcia-Pozo et al, 2011;Salo et al, 2020), Turkey (Doğantan et al, 2017) and United Kingdom (Rees Pryce, 1967;Prentice & Witt, 1991;Lashley, 2015).…”

“…Caldicott et al (2018) argue that the caravan park, as a subsector of tourism accommodation services, has been viewed as the traditional symbol of caravanning. But, that the focus in some countries -particularly Australia and New Zealand -is shifting now more on the caravan itself and its serviceability as a long-term, touring residential home as opposed to a temporary short-term holiday unit to be conveniently parked in a caravan park (Caldicott et al, 2014;Collins et al, 2018).…”

“…Previous research has emphasised notions of freedom associated with campervan travel and how it has developed its own subculture (Caldicott, Scherrer and Jenkins 2014;Kearns, Collins and Bates 2016). In the Australian context, the proliferation of campervans has become a significant element of backpacker tourists, more elderly 'grey nomads' and also Chinese tourists renting campervans all of whom seek intimacy and sociality on the move (Jones and Selwood 2012;Redshaw 2017;Wu and Pearce 2014).…”
