Two vehicles filled with a company of people (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caravan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'company of people' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'two vehicles filled with a' is the wordplay.
'two vehicles' means two substitutions for 'vehicle'.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'vehicle' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of vehicle).
'filled with' is an insertion indicator.
'car'+'van'='carvan'
'carvan' placed around 'a' is 'CARAVAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caravan that I've seen before include "Group of desert voyagers" , "Group travelling together across a desert in single file" , "Desert convoy" , "Towed home" , "Holiday vehicle" .)
