In the US, you can really see these moving houses on the road. They are called recreational vehicles (RVs, 房车). People call them houses on wheels. When it’s holiday time, the whole family often gets into this lovely house and goes out for a journey across the country.

You may also meet other families who are also on road trips. Together, you take out your tents and snacks. It’s camping time with a lot of talk and laughter!

Of course, RVs can be inconvenient (不便利的). They can sometimes break down and you have to spend time fixing them up. But this kind of road journey still wins people’s hearts because they can go wherever they want and whenever they would like.
