Nick Name for Campertrailer or Tow Vehicle.
« on: August 05, 2013, 06:14:11 PM »
I was down at a Caravan Park at Mission Beach today and noticed some good, strange and unusual names people have called their vans. ;D
Does anyone have a nickname for their Camper or tow vehicle?

      :cheers:

We did have some people come through here with Tortoise on their camper, I enquired, their response.."We travel as and when we want, and this is our home".
An appropriate name.

Our camper is called Toad.

Because I am a Qld'er, it is always 'towed' and Toad is the name of a back engine in Thomas and Friends (yes, I have two small children).

A good friends father owned a Swagman motorhome, she gave him some personalised number plates for it that read "JOLLY" ... but she didn't stop there, getting him some more plates for the car towed behind, they read "ONCE A"

Once a ... Jolly ...

Our Camper is called 'Matilda'

Volksing Matilda.

We Love our Matilda !!!       Wife would buy personalised number plate with MATILDA, except personalised number plates are the sign of too much money and nothing else to spend it on.

ok, ok, I'll accept 'Matilda' as a viable number plate option...

If my username wasn't Hefty, it would have been Archive coz my mates tell me I remember too many useless bits of information.
I've started referring to the CT as "The Archive" coz goodness knows I store too much useless stuff in there!!

Our camper is called the "caboose".

Named by our 2 kids who are Thomas tragic's, plus the caboose was "A railroad car with accommodations for the train crew, typically attached to the end of the train" - appropriate really.

There was a F350 5th wheeler setup there with a massive Wildcat Van (how do they find parking spots for those rigs?) and the Truck was called "Taj" and the Van was "Mahal"  ;D
Very appropriate  ;D

The tug is 'The 80' Nothing special there about the name  :-[
The camper is 'Touche' As in Touche the Turtle.
The kids gave the camper it's name when we first got it in 09.

The Defender is 'Monty' - being British and because we like Monty Python. It has a little MP Black Knight mascot strapped to the snorkel as well...and just to be authentic, he's got a few flesh wounds  ;)

The RRS is 'Black Betty' - because the kids started naming our vehicles etc... after Flintstone characters, and we had already had a Wilma wagon, Fred trailer, Barney camper, and Pebbles billycart.

The current camper is 'Bamm Bamm'...that's also the sound it makes when it follows us around on our misadventures  ;D
