On and off for many years.
I know a lot of us have "named" our motorhomes, Helga, Vanessa, Jemima and so on - but what about the last name???? Martin put the non-start number into his phone as "Jemima V" - so what does the "V" stand for?

Van is a bit boring
van Brumm Brumm a bit better :)

We have just replaced our van. Our previous can was a Bessacar and he was called Buster... the name really suited him.

We now have Kontiki and are struggling for names. I currently refer to him as The Van with No Name.

Any suggestions gratefully received!!

Have a name for ours, all the same name, called the van!
Although the name it could be called now would be acne as it's AKN, don't think I will somehow!

Does anybody remember the tv series years ago called Roots? (The van is a black edition Kontiki)

I quite fancied naming the van after the lead character but the Beauty Terrorist says it's not politically correct.....

I was going to type the name but realised if I spelt it wrong it would be a very rude word...:LOL::LOL:

Yes I remember watching it - what about Quincy after Quincy Jones who composed the theme tune.

Oh, the name of the main character was Kunta Kinte ... :D
