Spanish term or phrase: coche-cama

Hi, I would appreciate your help.

There isn't any context for this as it is a list of services given by a camp site. It has nothing to do with a train and It is not a caravan as it is included in the list already.

Thanks :)

Robert,

I don't think is a camper-van, because it consists of more things than beds (kithchen, baths,) and besides you indicated that a caravan is also included.

I gather is not a train, but I found a term: "Couchette-car" for trains but the characteristics is they are not private. It is possible that the term comes from that "car-beds" (plural for beds). See the ref.

I doubt it Taña.

Hilda, yep I will do just in casse. i am thinking maybe Campervan, which is different from a caravan which you atttach to a car.

What is your opinion?

Hi Robert, to ensure an accurate translation, I would consult with client if at all possible.

I searched in (elzr.com) for photos with the word "coche-cama" and ended up with a variety of possibilities: http://elzr.com/imagery?query=caravan&size=20&safe=&imgsz=&i...

I'm curious to know what your client says. Best, Hilda

So what do you have on the list then? You say it is not a sleeper (sleeper-car) or a trailer/caravan .... but something on a camp site. Un abrazo.

thanks Robert, then it seems the translation will be mainly for customers from the U.K. and those from other European or Mediterranean countries who although natives of other languages, understand English. In the case of British people, in order to take a caravette to Spain on holiday they would either take the Channel Tunnel, or cross by ferry to France, then drive to Spain, or take the ferry from the South of England to Santander or Bilbao. For families it can be a cheap option given that there are often no discounts on airfares for children.
