I would say a "Copperstate" , a "SunNfun", or an "Oshkosh" depending on the size of the group.

For example, we flew into Johnson Creek and there was a Copperstate of RV's parked there.

Or ... We went to Flo's Cafe but had to wait outside because there was an Oshkosh of RVers already inside.

A "Caravan," for multiple reasons.

Per recent written accounts, perhaps a "rude" of RV's?

Default Gaggle - not a complementary term

From the Team RV Formation Training Guide-
GAGGLE: An undisciplined group of aircraft, milling about in roughly the same piece of sky, sometimes attempting to impersonate a FORMATION.

This same meaning of the word was used in my 20+ year military flying career. One would not want to be associated with a gaggle if the respect of one's peers and superiors was the least bit important.

The term is applied to geese when they are on the ground milling about, feeding, etc. Once airborne they assume a formation. The term also generally applies to any disorderly group.

Cheers, David
