  Portacabin is the only one that I heard lots in England but never 
  since moving to the USA. They are the small cabins used mainly on 
  building sites (and some schools, hostpitals, ...). They arrive on a 
  truck and are intendied to be short term office space. (I don't know 
  what a portacabin bed is.) What's a portacabin called in the States?

I looked up all that slang in an online dictionary and none of it was there either. Are you sure that's British slang?

I don't think we have small cabins like that in the US, I think trailers are often used.
