furgoneta campera; cámper: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "cámper" es la adaptación del anglicismo "camper van" ("furgoneta campera" […]) y está recogida en el Diccionario de americanismos como sustantivo masculino: un "cámper". No obstante, puesto que designa un tipo de furgoneta, también es posible su uso como femenino […] De acuerdo con las reglas de acentuación, lo adecuado es escribirla con tilde, ya que se trata de una palabra llana terminada en consonante distinta de -n o -s. Su plural es "cámperes", siguiendo las pautas de formación que rigen las palabras acabadas en -r […] 1, record 1, Spanish, - furgoneta%20campera
