Default What do you call a group of RV's?

You've probably heard a variety of collective nouns for various animals, like a Pride of Lions, or Flock of Geese, or an Ostentation of Peacocks, or a Murder of Crows.

I found a big list online of these and was wondering who here could come up with a good one for RV's.

A simple one would be a Flight of RV's, or how about a Fleet of RV's?

What about an "Assembly of RV's" (pun intended, since these planes are homebuilt from parts)?

Let's see who can come up with a really good one.

Hmm, what to call a large group of RVs. Freakin' awesome?

I have heard them called "ramp fleas". When I go to Oshkosh there's a FIELD of RVs, but that's only when they're parked. "Formation" would work part of the time. "Assembly" is good, I like that.

Default Horde

Horde of RV's.

Then you can walk around Osh and yell "For the Horde!" and look at the confusion on peoples faces when they think that you think you are at some WoW gathering.




For the Horde!

That would be a "Butt-Crack Squadron".

Only the "seasoned" members will understand this.

I would go with "Herd" since RV's are pretty much stampeding general aviation.

Maybe it depends on whether they are flying or on the ground.
Flying...Gaggle
Ground...Group
Oh wait, they're awesome either way.

I just always thought they were called a "Formation". Look, there goes a formation of RVs!
