I was wondering if any of you have a nick name for your camper or car?
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?

Yep kids always name my cars
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

We call the car "Elcie", as in LC for Land Cruiser.
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
-
the 3 letters in my number plate are HWN, its also a hilux
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...)
-
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.
The 80 series is just the wagon,

4by = Nav
CT = Trackie
When I hook them up together I call them Brangalina coz they look good together

Our 120 was named Princess by my daughter (when it was originally my wife's car). When it became my car, my daughter gave me the option to rename it, but I decided to stick with her original choice. Plus it gives those in my 4wd club something to laugh about - when Princess the Prado makes it throuGh sections that others can't.
Our old camper van was Gypsy, with our new Swan now Nessy (don't know why).

It is so nice that people are engaged. Some good names there

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
a car is a mate to me, as is the camper and the boat - they don't whinge, theyre always there for you and its not 'all about them' (although there are times...)

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.
I have a few sketches and an off road 7x5 box trailer ready for a tear drop camper conversion. I had named it Salty.

Sounds great. You have inspired a theme for my new camper thing. I still can't work out if it's a caravan or a camper trailer.

Prado is called The Tardis.

Rocky for the ute because when we moved to the High Country a ute I was looking at was advertised by a person who called themselves Rocky. Did not buy that ute but it stuck for the old ute and now for the new one Of course who hangs a round with Rocky but Bullwinkle so the New camper got its name.
-
Yep, both car and camper have been named
Snowy - our white D4
Rufus - our AS camper

We have R2D2 and C3PO, we thought about getting BB-8 for the trailer but couldn't justify the $550 for the plates on the camper.

Nice work. You should splurge and get the full set of plates.

ok we have splashed out on a prado (albeit second hand) and have no idea what to call it - act plates are so boring - can anyone make a suggestion? my pajero was 'alf' after its original nsw rego (and it seems to suit him), previous car (lh torana) was 'hewie' as its number plate was 'hew-...' but what can you do with 'yhq-...'?
hmm, maybe I can make this a competition...?

The tug(80 series 1hdt), The Bus.
It was a school bus a few years ago, not only taking the kids to school, when I had the third row seats in, we would take another three kids to sport events.

The tug is "Max", both the name of a now departed pet, and shorthand for the Isuzu DMax.
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...

Camper just gets called the trailer lol. Ute is 'Humpty' (as in Humpty fell off a (Great) Wall), or fried rice
-
I'm glad we aren't the only ones! Our non camper friends laugh when we refer to our vehicles by name.
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.

my old defender was called "Fergie", blew smoke like and shared a top speed with a Ferguson Tractor
My new defender was named "Pepper" after I parked it next to our old one. one was white and one was black. I'll let you guess which one pepper is.

Hi,
Mate had a converted Toyota Coaster with "For Play" written above the windscreen.
Another mate, Mervyn, had "Mervana" on the back of his caravan.
