You ex-British colonials certainly know how to f**k-up the ENGLISH language.
Go ahead and push those buttons - youā€™ll just end up with pissed off drunk Queb hockey fans and pissed off alligator-wrestling rednecks from Louisiana (who were Queb before you kicked them out).

"Trailer" in my country conjures up trips to the tip (dump to you) and loads of soil/gravel/manure/large appliances/various bikes .
"Caravan" conjures up images of the Silk Road in Marco Polo times.
Well it does to me šŸ˜Š
As @holdmybeer pointed out, we would usually make a distinction between a trailer and a travel trailer - the trailer is for hauling stuff. And yeah, ā€œcaravanā€ is a Persian word - think procession of camels. Thatā€™s why we think of it as automobiles, wagons, etc moving in single file. A travel trailer is also called a camper - but again, I donā€™t often hear it called a caravan. Airstream uses ā€œtravel trailerā€ and ā€œtouring coach,ā€ depending upon whether the vehicle is attached to the cabin.

Hey now, the Cajun/Louisianan in me refutes this statement, as my neck is more of a tan than red!!šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

But I have to agree to some degree (yes I am a poet, bet you didnā€™t even know it, ha did it again didnā€™t I, šŸ˜‰) as I just wrestled a gator into the airboat this morning. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Iā€™m not sure when/how we started going down this road, but there are good and bad people (poor/rich, dumb/smart, etc etc) in all counties across this world. I would like to think the best of us are Grenadier owners, yea?

Btw, I canā€™t believe I am giving some of my personal info out, but in my childhood days I grew up in poverty and besides living in a car for a little bit, we also lived in a couple of ā€œtrailersā€ as mom always had us moving around as she could find jobs here and there & thatā€™s all she could afford raising several kids all alone. So technically I was ā€œtrailer trashā€ back in the day. However, now I am far from that life. Wonā€™t boost too much, but I do own 2 Grenadiers & waiting for the Quartermaster to hit the USA for my 3rd, and I also own several other nice vehicles as well as couple of properties and already retired (not close to retirement age either btw)(not completely debt free but close to it), so I have done well even if starting off as what you say ā€œtrailer trashā€ā€¦..not too shabby I thinkā€¦ā€¦sorry but hearing that derogatory term brings back many memories (teased lots as a kid being poor, living in a trailer, goodwill cloths, etc) and just want people to know thatā€™s one of the great things about being an American, you can achieve a better life with hard work and determination!! IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!! Not saying all countries donā€™t offer the same capabilities, but Google ā€œwhich country is called the land of opportunity & why?ā€! Yepā€¦ā€¦.šŸ¤”šŸ˜‰šŸ˜Ž
