Do you have a "name" for your rig?

cherylbrv · RV-Dreams Family Member

I've actually been thinking about this lately - what to name our rig once we get it.

TRAILERKING · RV-Dreams Family Member

I don't have one but "MONEY-PIT" would be quite fitting I think.

Our's is name Figment II (there was a Figment I before we went fulltiming). She is named after one of our favorite Disney character from the Land of the Imagination at EPCOT - as in a "Figment" of our imagination. I believe we are probably the only RV going down the road with a pink/purple dragon on the door.

I love it!!! That was one of my favorite exhibits at Epcot (when I last went about 25 years ago). I still remember the song and just gave away my daughter's Figment doll which we found when purging the attic!

This is a good question and topic, we are planning to buy next year and start FT maybe I should start thinking about a name. Me and my wife have both a motorcycle, mine is Mistress and my wife's bike is Marley. So we will start searching for the motorhome and the trailer. For sure the word Liberty will be used for the motorhome but will have to find something before or after the word Liberty.

Ours is simply, "Home." We never were much for naming non-living things.

We were just talking about this today and settled on wandering shadow...or shadow for short

Talensnana · RV-Dreams Family Member

Our RV is the Enterprise

Smart Car is the Shuttle Craft

and Scotter is the Escape Pod......

Can you tell we are Star Trek Fans?

RickandJanice · RV-Dreams Family Member

Now that we are full time we mainly just refer to ours as "home". However, until Ohio raised the price of vanity plates disbelief , we used to have one that was "SUITE B", so sometimes also refer to this as a name. Now that we are Texas residence, might look their cost for vanity plates next time. confuse

Mine is The Tardis. It seems bigger on the inside than the outside and it goes through space and time although my present one seems to be broken. It only travels into the future.

In order to get the "time travel into the past" function working, you have to set the campfire to "lit" and the liquid refreshment supply to "available" and then the past will operate very well... at least until the liquid refreshment supply auto-trips due to low levels... then past events either get crazy or just foggy biggrin smile

It started as "Our Golden Getaway" because we had a golden retriever named Gracie who loved to go with us and she was part of the primary reason we got into rv'ing since we would not kennel her, and because we figured we would be full-timing in our "golden" years. We renamed it "Gracies Golden Getaway" last year when we lost her from cancer on an actual trip. We are getting a new rig this fall, but have a framed picture of her with a gold plate on the bottom called "Gracie's Golden Getaway" She'll always be with us wherever we go.

DebbieM · RV-Dreams Family Member

As soon as my husband sat in our new 2013 Dodge Laramie Longhorn Dullay (rootbeer brown/gold) he named it Hoss. The new Montana therefore, is called the Ponderosa.

Lucky Mike · RV-Dreams Family Member

Deb .....you dont have a cat named "Hop Singe" do you...?

Dog Folks · RV-Dreams Family Member

When we were still working and only could camp on weekends and vacations, our trailer was named "Down Time."

Upon retirement and going full time, the trailer became "Ourtime." This happened before the the dating website of the same name.

Ravenlotus · RV-Dreams Family Member

Well... it's a 1984 Shasta. Our almost 6 year old named it Shazam!

We have has so much fun reading the different names on here. We've laughed out loud at many, so creative!

My son named our Outback "ScoobyDo" and we call our GPS "The Boss!"

Sherry

MarkS · RV-Dreams Family Member

We haven't settled on a name yet but with all this homeless talk I was thinking about "Under the Bridge".

We don't have a GPS unit yet, but we did have a Ford Explorer that had the indash navigation. The day we bought it and drove it home, we had the audio up. We got so tired of the thing telling us we were coming up on an "unknown road" that Jo said that it was time to put an end to "Chatty Cathy" and turned down the volume. Our F450 has the same system, and I refuse to let "Chatty Cathy" talk in that one either.

If needs be, our phones do a lot better than those older systems.

Terry

sirwinston21 · RV-Dreams Family Member

We call ours the Kram-alot-inn

Dave Buck · RV-Dreams Family Member

Like Terry we call ours "HOME" because that's what it is even though it moves to different location. Haven't named the GPS either even though I do spend some time talking back to it.

LibertyLinda · RV-Dreams Family Member

OMG Jessie & Sherry! YOUR name made me LOL out loud!

Our names are in my signature description. l Just like boat people name their boats, its fun to name our rolling homes :)

Ours is 'Harvey' (the RV)

Gary · RV-Dreams Family Member

Don't have the RV as of yet but the name will be "Duxinaro".

TRAILERKING · RV-Dreams Family Member

Across the sides of my Fleetwood it says "American Dream" . I was jokingly saying at times it should be "Canadian Nightmare".

jrzygrl64 · RV-Dreams Family Member

I hadn't even really considered naming the rig til I saw this thread. Got to put my thinking cap on about this one...

I'll let you know what I come up with!

We do call the truck "The Beast". Bill named it that on (I think it's called) Fuelly.com where he enters all his fuel info.

Ktmissouri · RV-Dreams Community Member

Penny and Paul · RV-Dreams Family Member

TheNewhalls · RV-Dreams Family Member

Laptop = Tricorder

I would be interested in see your Holideck.

cherylbrv · RV-Dreams Family Member

Don't have my rig yet, but thanks to this thread, I have the perfect combination.

Someone else mentioned a "castle on wheels." I like that. So my coach will be my COW. And the truck, which is a beast, will be the BULL.

No comments about hitching them up!!! biggrin confuse

Kitties Mom · RV-Dreams Community Member

Ours is Ed...two letters in the Vin...when we were trading in the old trailer and buying Ed, the dealer was getting the two trailers mixed up so I noticed the letters ED in the VIN for the new one and the name was born. I have our scrapbook for the trailer called Traveling with Ed

Kitties Mom · RV-Dreams Community Member

Oh and we named our white Expedition Moby.

NWescapee · RV-Dreams Family Member

It's funny, we actually had names for each of our first 3 TT's, now that this 5th wheel is home we haven't named it, it's just home. We have referred to our combination of the truck / trailer as the "Behemoth" but that is usually only when we are trying to back it into a tight campsite or when we see our rig parked next to several smaller rigs and ours stands out due to size.

charles · RV-Dreams Family Member

Ours is an EVERGREEN and if you are familiar with them, they are a chocolate brown, so THE WIFE named it the
CHOCOLATE BOX, I add, full of nuts.

dewwood · RV-Dreams Family Member

Ours is called Dancer, maybe short for Sundance or maybe because like Mike we do the "Happy Dance" when we are living in it.

shystywolf · RV-Dreams Family Member

My dad recently purchased an R.V. And my nephews named it for him. The name is Irv. Because of the sound the motor makes. Lol

Dogpatch · RV-Dreams Family Member

By what I spent this week on stupid repairs that should have been regular maintenance by the previous owner, I should be calling it the "Bottomless Pit".

The name in reality is simply "The Beav" short for The Beaver Coach.

I don't think I gave to elaborate too much when I let you know we have a "Weiner Dog" and the types of conversations that get started over the Beaver and our Weiner. The hilarity never ends.
