Our caravan is called Hugo and he's pulled by William.
Our lawnmower is Edmund. The washing machine and tumble dryer are Eric and Ernie.
Ok Kevin - off you go, I'm ready!

well if its sad to give things names someone should have told eddie stobart. all his lorries are named when you pass them have a look on the front of them it keeps kids bussy for hours on long jurneys looking for the names
Dissagree....Eddie had a fleet of wagons and used female names as a way of identification ... this also turned out to be a brilliant marketing idea too.... I could understand there may be a need to name your caravan if you had multiple vans of the same make and model
Dissagree with what that hes named them but he did named them he could have just given them numbers. that the point thay have names not numbers or codes.

We dont have a caravan yet, but we do have a gaggle of Griffins on the drive Hubby loves the mk2 cavs one is called Marktwo,the very old mk2 cav estate is called Esta,the omega 2.5 v6 is Black pearl,my Vectra is an automatic due to being disabled is called Vinnie my automatic lover,our Daughter as mk2 nova called Hanky dora ,Son in law as Omega called Livvy,Son as mk3 astra estate called Sexy Lexy and 30 year old Chavette called Charlotte. Do we have a life oh yes lots of car shows and of course lots of camping.
Yes it has ! Eventually decided on a bigger caravan today & named it today too, as it's an Eccles we're calling it Spike.. as in Milligan. (some of you will know that Spike was `Eccles' in `The Goons')
As for the people who think that naming inanimate objects names is daft - well I reckon you're entitled to think what you like ... & I don't really care what you think anyway !...
All the same some of the comments were quite derogatory - no need for that surely ? Bit pathetic really !

I renovated an old van I found on an allotment years ago nobody knew who owned it and it was used as a potting shed. After 2 years it was finished and became (Yes you guest it ) our potting shed. It finished back as a chassie in the east coast floods in the 60,s

Came back from my nice BH weekend away , and I have to report out of all the people I spoke to on site they all named their vans ( btw I didn't rush up and say what's your vans name, I did have a convo first lol ) and the one on the pitch next to us even had it's name on it in little stickers, so I think after reading all the replies on this thread and speaking to folk, seems like most of us do.Unless the majority of us are all living in a fantasy world!!!
our little old avondale is affectionately referred to as ' t'owd tin tent', reason being upto aquiring it our camping trips were under canvass but my good lady decided we're too old for tenting ,hence the 't'owd TIN tent' was aquired
------------- no tin tent outings booked as yet ,just another cruise in Sept' booked so far

Nothing wrong with having a laugh & what's wrong with a bit of fantasy anyway ? Just shows you have some imagination & a sense of humour imo. As long as you're able to tell fantasy & reality apart I reckon indulging in a bit of fantasy is good for the soul - so ignore all the boring farts !
