just for fun, name or no name

[sandyhu248]

So just for fun, has anyone on this forum named their RV? We have a new 2017 Freedom Elite 29FE. I have been trying to think of a name for it. Boat owners may understand this delimma because just about every boat has a name! Our first RV was a used 1984 33ft Holiday Rambler. It's name was the "Big Mamoo " and was given that name by the original owners. We didn't have our second RV long enough to name it.
So if you have given your RV a name, what is it, and how did you come up with the name?

If you do a search, you'll find endless posts on this, some do, some don't, we're in the don't group, but like many things with an RV, It's yours, do what you want.

Not too many RVs have names. Some folks use their CB handles although CBs are disappearing. My favorite boat name was "After You." So when folks asked what you named your boat you could say, "I named it After You."

“The Caboose” because we often camp with a group and we always seem to be last to arrive!

I called the first one "Bertha."
This one I call "The Heeler" as opposed to the The Header.

All of my vehicles were already named when I bought them. My car was named Toyota, my truck was named Ford, and my RV was named Airstream.

My brother named his 10 year old Class C "The Thirsty Whale". I think that's clever because he is a Navy man who lived on a sailboat before getting an RV, and his motorhome probably drinks a lot of gas. As a side note 40 years ago I bought an unusual sports car from Chevrolet named the Monza Spyder (it looked like this one, but it's long gone). It has a large spider decal on the hood and spider emblems front and back. I got personalized plates for it that said "8 LEGS". Sometimes I would see people pull up behind me at a stoplight and laugh.

We alternate between "home" and "the rig." I named all my sailboats, but it seems a bit silly to me for an RV.

As from a long line of watermen, of course boats are named, but that makes sense because if there is a creation of man that has a soul, it is a vessel undersail. But when you are in this realm, you suddenly realize that naming things has a practical side. Of course, we had more than one small boat, so "Taking the small boat" was an invitation to confusion at some level. "Taking the car" has the same effect. But if the cars are named, the confusion ends. We have also had more than one RV in the family at this point, so again with the confusion.

Some come with a name, like the Class C was always Cayo. That was in big letters on the front and back. The current coach, we had for a while. Before a name formed. We often do this rather than christen a vessel that is not new, but a recent acquisition, we get to know her. She has a name and she will tell you. I got a boat once that did not like the name on her stern. She told me in so many ways. Things were much better when it was what one she liked to be called.

Old trailer never had a name even though we tried a couple different ones...never stuck. New one is Betsy...how that happened I’m not sure but it has stuck.

We went a completely different direction and gave it a lot of thought. We wanted the name to be witty and give people that saw the name that "Ah Hah" moment. After 1-2 minutes of thought, we decided on calling it "The Camper".
