Our cars are Veccy (Vectra) and Siggy (Signum) - original us! Never named our tent.

Our Baily Ranger 510/4 is not letting us in on it's name yet!

I suspect it could be Corry/Corinne (as in Corinne Bailey Rae..)

My small nephew said when he looked out his car it looked like the caravan had sunglasses on so they called their van SUNGLASSES. So when we picked up our van he told us it needed a name so we called it GOGGLES. Our new van is called SPEX LOL

Oh and not forgetting the names my husband calls it when reversing it into a small space LOL

We named our Winnebago Mrs M. Everyone we asked for suggestions said Winnie but we thought that was a bit naff so we called her Mrs M as in Winnie Mandela. It suits her really well. Our tow car in the States was a Jeep Liberty (Cherokee over here) so she was Libby. Our trailer is called Trash & our car Titch because she's a Peugeot 107 & tiny. They're all considered part of the family & so deserve names

. Sad I know. We used to have a bin called Laden!!

Our Charisma is Carrie (van)

Not original, but suits her.

The awning is Colin (Compactalite) - awnings are usually male I find

We havent named the Xtrail, I guess we should! We previously had a Ford (Betty) and a Vectra (Vince).

I thought of calling our Burstner Belcanto "Pavarotti", because it's big and heavy, and we call our Santa Fe "Yorkshire Fat Boy" (registration letters.) But we generally just call both of them "The Beast"!

Our first van was a tiny one-bed no-electrics tin thing which my DOH named Cuthbert. Van no 2 was an Elddis so we called it Ellie. This one hasn't gotta name - just The Van - but to my bro they all have the same name - sewer pipes! (A camper he is NOT! LOL)
