How to Choose the Perfect Name for Your RV
First, you’ve got to decide whether you want clever camper names or funny RV names. It really helps narrow down your decision.
Maybe you are not looking for cool names but would prefer something sentimental, instead. For instance, naming your camper after a lost family member. Or after a place that you lived or a movie that inspired your wanderlust.
Whatever makes you smile when you say the name is what you should use!
Second, do you want a name that will appear on your RV? For instance, do you want to make a vinyl decal or a window sticker and have everyone see the name? If so, you might not want to have “The Love Machine” across your back window for half of America to see! (Or maybe you do….)
Finally, will you have a tow vehicle? Do you want a name combination that includes your vehicle and your trailer? For instance, Elroy and Judy (from the Jetsons). Or Thelma and Louise.
