I have to distinct between these generator. Do any website provide detail of all type of generator for purpose of study? My main intention is how to differentiate mobile generator from others.

Terminology may vary between manufacturers or dealers, but here is how I interpret the differences.
RV generator is mounted internally to the RV. Remote start, feeds power to selected RV circuits only. It is supplied fuel from the vehicle tank. Typically up to about 8kW.
Mobile generator is trailer mounted, can be much higher power, up to several hundred kilowatts. Fuel tank often mounted on the trailer.
Home standby generator is mounted on a concrete pad to the side of the house. Usually automatic start and transfer. Can be propane, natural gas or diesel powered, seldom gasoline. Power level typically up to about 15kW.
Portable generators are usually mounted with wheels for manually moving place to place. Usually gasoline powered, power levels up to about 15kW. Some have electric start. Electrical connection is via an outlet panel mounted to the frame.
I have other generator info on my web page...

There is no significant difference. Any generator suitable for one of these uses could be used without change for any of the others. The term "standby generator" usually implies a machine which is too large to be easily moved.
