To give inanimate objects names imbues them with powers and feelings that they do not possess.
My suggestion would be Sprinter.

Names should occur naturally. I always called my Valiants Big Val. I had a Holden with the license plate TTZ so she became Tough Titties, shortened to TT. If you feel comfortable with a name then go for it. My motorhome is an old Freeway slide-on on a Ford Courier. I thought of all kinds of names but settled on something simple - TC. It can mean The Camper or The Courier. Not exactly a stroke of creative genius but if the cap fits... There ya go... the cap... TC again!

Something will come to you and stick. Myrtle just came out of the blue and suited her so well, It stuck.

Hi Judy
Mercedes, in some cultures means Merciful.
Merciful can mean Blessed.
'Blessed' for a nice motorhome.

My little car was once described as being just a speedhump in comparison to his 4WD.. so now its called humpy! Your new motorhome hasnt had time to show you its character but it will.

I don't like it but I did a search for Barina and it came up with The Summit, I do agree it needs to be more feminine, also the problem with a femaile name is that some people will think this traveller is a solo female, not a good thing to advertise these days.
Tha's why I put Toby on one pic

I call mine" the block of flats", as its 2.7m high. My sister called it "Bill,s Bait Box". I like the beep beep name. A picture of a roadrunner would be nice, also, perhaps with the coyote chasing him/her. Bill

Well, when travelling alone (which I don't do much) I like to feel like I have company, and so the car or van used to get a name.
My first car was "Harvey" and we went EVERYWHERE!
I remember me and Agnes going to Brisbane, and later me and Maggie heading off to Canberra.
I had one car called "The flying tomato" - which wasn't much company.

I have a camper trailer which is known as The Tardis because it just keeps growing. I can open out the bed (queen size) section only (my overnighter), add one annex (becomes the weekender) and add a second annex and all of a sudden it becomes six metres long and is known as the holiday house. However, when folded up it is all of 2.9m from towball to back and 1 m wide. I tow it behind a Corolla and because it is narrower than the car I can't see it in my side mirrors.

Judy,
Just call it 'Foxy'. In pink.
Then you can get a grin out of women berating their husbands for trying to get a closer look.
'Wildflower' would be nice, and a reminder to spend down time off the tar enjoying them.
The Pearl Penthouse ?
