off in the ark.

Havent thought of a proper name but seeing as how we only started end of last year and every time we go away we travel in the rain, set up in the rain and most times whilst on site it rains the ark will do for now.

We never say we are going off anywhere. But when on the road? We have always said 'we're trucking again' or singing 'On the Road Again'.
Names:-

Autohomes Frontier - Davy Crockett

Coachmen Classic - Casa Blanca (White House)

Gulfstream Crown Regis - RV

Newmar Mountain Aire - Big RV

Dethleffs - Mini RV

Kontiki - Midi RV

Sometimes we use a generic term, like "the rig" - but we usually refer to it by it's given name of "Slick".

Your Slick is probably slicker than the one we nicknamed "Slug"

starts every trip as 'the van' then goes through various stages most of which arent printable on a family forum.

if i have to change down more than two gears it becomes 'you bag of s****e' then gets worse from there.

one day it will fight back.
