Two of our Cabanon tents were very easy to name; Julie & Elody. Hubby's BM is called Minty (as she's the most beautiful pale green), and my Kangoo is called 'The Babbie'

Anne - you're certainly not the only one who names their tents... we have, in no particular order:

Dartford - the Sunncamp tunnel tent
Esther - the Cabanon Estoril
The Mighty Atom - HiGear Atom 3 (soon to be up for sale)
The B&B Tent - Easycamp Planet 300 overnighter

...they're all 'male' in my mind except the Cabanon. Dunno why.

Do campers 'peg it'?

Phew, that makes me feel better!

It's funny how we not only have names but also sex our tents! Mine are all female!

Apologies for also being dull in 'naming':

Outwell Utah 6 - the Utah
Wynnster Apollo 16 - the Wynnster
Scafell Rock Curlaway 5 - the Curlaway.

Reading this thread though, I have realised that the Utah is a girl and the other two are boys...mysterious.
