What's in a name?

As a new owner, I've been researching and reading everything I can get my hands on (found that reading an owner's manual may cure my insomnia better than anything else).

One of the things I've noticed is that many people have named their trailer. I always thought it would be awesome to name my home, like you see in the UK. I've just never not come up with a name that fits. Perhaps I'll have better luck with my RV.

So, does your RV have a name? If so, what's the name and the story behind it.

Well, we are fairly weird. When we built our house and moved to Montana 10 years ago, our kids asked what we called our property. We said "Cole's Hole" as kind of a joke. The kids had a stone engraved with "Welcome to Cole's Hole" so it stuck. We then a pit dug for underlayment for the driveway and decided to make it into a shooting pit which became "Cole's Other Hole". My shop became "Cole's Wood Hole" and when we put up a building to house the wood lathe, it became "Cole's Chuck Hole". So when we bought our toy hauler it became "Cole's Road Hole" and the new truck became "Cole's Tow Hole".

LOL! Growing up, my best friend's name was dog, spelled out D-O-G. My grandkids call my car, the kitty cat car (Jaguar). My pets have always had names, including many of my fish including the seahorses (though I stopped when one gave birth to about 130).

I think it's cute that people have named their RVs.

Growing up we had lots of cats. Every one was named cat.

Well some people do have names for their vehicles and some are named by you and sometimes by others. Examples my parents had a old blue station wagon named the blue goose and it replaced a old green wagon named green nelly lol. My current tow vehicle is named TANK and my friends named it mainly because I drive 2004 F250 crewcab pickup truck and they all drive small cars lol. I'm still thinking what to name my trailer and it will eventually come to me. Don't worry about the other posters that say no they don't there are many who do. Best of luck coming up with a name that means something to you.

Yours doesn't come when you call it, guess you didn't train it very well. :B
