Telephone some hotel instead of small caravan (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mobile home

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

'small caravan' is the definition.
'mobile home' can be an answer for 'caravan' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'small' bit.

'telephone some hotel instead of' is the wordplay.
'telephone' becomes 'mobile telephone' (mobile phone).
'some hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'instead of' becomes 'ome' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mobile'+'h'+'ome'='MOBILE HOME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mobile home that I've seen before include "Permanently-used caravan" , "Large caravan for permanent residence" , "Caravan maybe" , "House on wheels?" .)
