This is out Third true RV.
Her name is Chaumière (Say Show Me Air). It is a French word for a cottage - typically thatched roof. It is also not bad that we are sailors and still in that community as well. But, I have been a waterman all my life.
The first RV came to me from my father and was already named.
The second (a Cayo Motorvator) was never named past the Cayo and didn't stay long.
This is our third and shortly after we got it and made our way into the community of other owners, I recognized it as a being very much like any watermen community that I would know. So, it is fitting that she should have a name - too. As DW was already calling her the cottage, it fit.
Though we often name vehicles just as all boats have names (or should), but a lot of that was a convenience and to clear confusion. "You take the white diesel Rabbit and I'll take the silver gas Rabbit and Chris can drive the older minivan." or "You take Rachel and I'll get Reggy and Chris can have Carolyn."
