La caravane portée. Directement placée dans la caisse d’une camionnette, la caravane portée s’adresse tout particulièrement à une clientèle bien ciblée, qui regroupe généralement des amateurs de chasse et de pêche. [Le plus souvent], deux adultes peuvent y prendre place et profiter des commodités similaires à celles d’une tente-caravane. 3, record 2, French, - caravane%20port%C3%A9e

autocaravane séparable : Ce terme est passé dans l'usage comme équivalent du terme anglais «truck camper», mais il ne désigne pas tout à fait la même réalité. Le terme «truck camper» désigne la cellule habitable(caravane) qui est portée sur la caisse d’une camionnette alors que le terme «autocaravane séparable» désigne l'ensemble camionnette-cellule habitable. 4, record 2, French, - caravane%20port%C3%A9e
