Casa prefabricada.


Explanation:
Hace poco realizé un trabajo grande para un fabricante de mobile homes. En conjunto las llaman así pero en últimas fechas para meter a todas en el conjunto las siguen llamando casas móviles aunque no lo sean. Realmente el término debe ser casa prefabricada o premanufacturada. La gran mayoría se van a mover de la fábrica hasta el lugar de su instalación y ya. De ahí solo las mueve un terremoto. Yo sugiero que usen mi término.

disagree  Daniel Coria: Perdón, José, pero dice claramente "a large caravan", de modo que sí son móviles, ya que se trata de un vehículo. / No es corrección, es un "peer comment". Saludos!

neutral  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Hm... Sólo comentar que "autocaravana" no sería, porque ésta tiene motor y no es arrastrada por un vehículo. Tampoco me gusta "caravana", que supone una cosa más pequeña y para estancias cortas. En las "mobile home" se vive casi permanentemente.

casa motorizada/hogar sobre ruedas


Explanation:
In the USA these are called 'motor homes', some are small others are large, sometimes as large as a bus!

I'd call them 'casa motorizada' in Spanish; or 'hogar sobre ruedas', because that explains what it is.
