When you’re on the road, you’ve probably noticed personalized license plates or decals on cars, vans, and RVs that have been chosen by the owner for a specific purpose. In the camping world, naming your RV is a big deal!
It can be a bit daunting to come up with the perfect name for your RV or camper. Some like funny names, some prefer something a bit more catchy, and others just want something cute.
To make things easy, we’ve created a huge list to get your started!
Why Do People Name Their RVs?
It seems to be a thing that we humans do, give names to inanimate objects! We name everything from our cars, cameras, instruments, phones, etc. It’s usually done to something that we have a close relationship to and naming it really drives home the connection to us.
People name their RVs for this above reason and many others. We spend so much time in our RV and it keeps us safe and warm, so some people give it a loving, cute name. Others want to stand out among all of the other RVs out there so they give theirs a quirky, unique name. Sometimes it can be humorous or related to a funny memory that they had while in their camper.
Coming up with that perfect name can take time and can even be a bit tricky. While you will absolutely want to come up with a personalized name, we’re here to give you some inspiration!
Tips For Choosing An RV Or Camper Name
Inspiration for an RV name can come from anywhere and everywhere. Again, this is a place where you will likely be spending a lot of time and making handfuls of core memories, so you have so much to work with when coming up with ideas.
Something That Inspires You
What do you seek out when you go adventuring in your RV? Do you have a favorite place? Where do you feel most alive? What do you feel when you are in your camper? All of these things can help guide you to the perfect name for your RV. Names such as “Freedom” or “Catalyst” may be an ideal fit!
Brands
You can draw inspiration from your RV’s name or design to find the perfect fit. Winnebago could be shortened to “Winnie” for a more endearing name that is also half as many syllables. An Airstream could be called “The Tin Can” in honor of its signature look.
You can also create a name based off of your RV’s size or a specific feature. If you have a 5th wheel or a trailer, you can name both your camper and your tow vehicle, like “Thelma and Louise”.
Color
Because a lot of RVs sport neutral colors, if yours has a splash of something fun, try incorporating this into the name, such as “Gold Nugget” or “Blue Streak”. You could even add a decal of the name in the chosen color to personalize your RV even more.
A Personal Story
This may be the most creative basis for a name. We all have a host of stories that bring good memories or good laughs, so why not be reminded of that specific time by making it your RVs name. You may choose to name your RV “Swerve” because of that crazy maneuvering you had to do to swerve around a buffalo.
