The gypsies who actually travel around living rough out of trucks and campers are called tinkers and are almost all poor irish and have nothing to do with the roma.

Then there are a third group of 'travelers' who are a bunch of stoned dirty hippies dispised by all and pretending to be gypsies who travel from drug happenings and raves getting stoned, a sort of cold wet muddy mobile 'burning man'.
We call those 'British Columbians' over here.
