My car is The Landbarge or Atilla (the Hun.....dred series)
My camper hasn't had time to be blooded by the family yet. I will wait to see if one presents itself as something so important as a name can not be forced.
Campers/Caravans are female right?

1. The 80 series is a petrol guzzler so we call him "Frank the Tank" from the movie old school
2. The 200 is "Bruiser the Cruiser" kids named him as it was when I injured myself

The camper is called "William" the Conqueror.
Our neighbor has a Pajero that he call Vaj the PaJ, so we've named his camper "Ina" ;D

so it can be either Goldie lux or Goldie HWN(hawn)
i did have 3 cub campers at one time so they become the three bear cubs
goldie lux and the three bears
only have two cubs now so they're up for renaming (could go with Kate & Oliver Cubson)

"Campers/Caravans are female right?"
hmm - where's that going...
"Our neighbor has a Pajero that he call Vaj the PaJ, so we've named his camper "Ina" "
ok, maybe that's it - gee, I'm glad your not my neighbour though - I wonder if that's what my neighbours think of me?!
"i did have 3 cub campers at one time so they become the three bear cubs"
now, that really is cute...!
our 'paj' is called 'alf' - I know, its on his bonnet stone guard (no, when I first bought him it was his number plate in nsw)
the camper is 'the unit' (named by the missus - not sure if it was after she tried to kick a brick under its wheel to chock it - with bare feet...)

good to see someone else doesn't allow himself to be manipulated into using female names for his cars - a lot of people (mostly female) are taken aback by my doing so

Not one for naming inanimate objects but after persistance from a friend i might name the teardrop,a year in the making i guess it deserves a name.Geez you caught me on the edge of the fence with this. Yes you should have a name for the teardrop, especially when you're a year in to the build. Ya can't force it though.
The 80 series is just the wagon,
I have a few sketches and an off road 7x5 box trailer ready for a tear drop camper conversion. I had named it Salty.

Kids have named the nissan XTrail "the beast" (just wait until a Patrol is in budget!) and our Cavalier camper is "Chuck".Has "The Beast" any beastly attributes? LS3 conversion with SAS maybe?

She naturally names things, so the van got a moniker as well. I wanted call it "MightyVan" (as in "My TVan"), complete with a small cartoon of Mighty Mouse on the rear deck; but in the flawed democracy that is marriage, it turns out "Molly" was the right name after all, and any pimping has to be dragons...

The previous challenger was Charlie (seems to be popular), and when we upgraded to essentially the same vehicle (same model same colour) we had to keep Charlie so he now gets Charlie II, CJ (Charlie Junior) or Charlie Boi
The previous camper was Thomas. We are now in the process of debating new names for the new camper.
The other vehicle is Tommy Tiida, and the old x-trail was Noddy.
