I,m surprised no one has referred to theirs being called "The Bus" especially people with large tag axle A Classes, or indeed those with RV,s. It would sound great down the pub to say something like, We are taking The Fun Bus through France next year, or even we will be using The Tour Bus at the earliest opportunity.
Just sayin

Ours is Twinkle, but is being called ‘the bl***y thing at the moment. Hopefully she will get her proper name back, if Fiat ever manage to repair it.

I suspect I know what the OP is referring to! :D Our van is only 6 years old, and therefore way too young to have an opinion on HER sexuality, therefore she is female :D

Our first one was called Brian - was slow and a home which moved. 2nd one called Hamish - first trip was to Scotland and yes HE looked like a Hamish. Surpose we could just call him the motorhome but nice to give him a personality ;)

Ours is transgender, the transformation is complete. The previous owner called it Oscar, we've called her Portia. Often, we call her "the van". Sometimes, when she won't start, the heating doesn't work, the habitation lock won't lock, etc etc etc, we call her "fu****g pile of steaming horse sh*t!!!"
Mostly, we love her

Wikipedia says........

cruising, is walking or driving about a locality in search of a sex partner, usually of the anonymous, casual, one-time variety.[1][2] The term is also used when technology is used to find casual sex, such as using an Internet site or a telephone service.[3][4]

When folk ask what type of mh we have I answer by its a Hitlers revenge, or we just call it the MH or the van ,the expression Hitlers revenge comes of our trusty Mercedes-Benz/hobby1983 model with a 5 cylinder 3liter motor and so far covered 410000 and is strong as a horse ,regards AlfandM.

I did quite a lot of that on my sailing yacht in the Aegean for many years - quite successfully, but mostly longer tem than the rest of the definition.
