Функционално зониране при превозните средства за отдих
Functional zoning of recreational vehicles

Summary/Abstract: In the course of time people have constantly been developing and improving their achievements by adding new functional potential in other spheres of their application. Thus, new products which suit new needs appear. People have always strived to have close connection with their natural environment. Many choose to relax in the countryside – it is the best place for them to escape from the pressure and to charge emotionally for the life they have in their urbanized surroundings. They spend their holidays either in camping sites or alone in the open, thus replacing the conventionalities of the hotel stay. The most wide-spread practice when they make their choice is to use tents, which they transport in their cars or public transport. Since the beginning of the XX century automobile industry has offered an alternative – means of transport which provides the possibility for people to travel at any time they choose, as well as more comfort and protection than tents provide.These means of transport are divided in two main groups in terms of the way they function – vehicles with an engine, and vehicles which are attached to another vehicle. In Bulgaria these two types are known under their terms – the vehicles with engine are defined as tourist vans and campers; while the attached ones – as caravans. This article puts the focus on campers and tourist vans and their potential to provide different uses – from transportation to dwelling. In the English speaking countries campers are familiar under the term “motorhome”, which can approximately be translated in Bulgarian as “autohouse”, “autohome” or “motorhome”. It is an accepted practice to use the abbreviation RV /recreational vehicle/
