Some of you daft people are crackers, you give your motorhome a name, why, what is the point it's only a lump of metal. My question to you is what do you call your van and why.




P.S. Mine is called Hermann, why, because it's German of coarse...how sad am I :giggler:(y)

My race car is called Roary, wifey's 5 is called Black Rose, work van is known as "the Duke" and our present camper is called Eclipse, my kit car is affectionately known as "the Dragon". Why? Because we aren't sad, we're happy people. :)

A friend of mine is an actual alien! She doesn't have a belly button so is constantly teased about being hatched from an egg?

When driving our, new to us, Lakia home, my wife turned to me and said "I think the van wants to be called Gertrude". Why, I don't know but it stuck but we have since shortened it to Gertie.

We can't agree on a name for ours so haven't named him yet ... Toying between Nelson (Mandella), Simba (from the lion king as he is only little for an RV) or Mofassa (Simba's father), Timon or Pumba as they are the jokers! All chosen because of the hand blown mural on the back. Any suggestions welcome?
