We are the proud new owners of a 2003 Bailey Ranger 550/6.

A lot of you have asked if we have named it yet, but we just cannot decide, so I have decided to ask you for your thoughts on a name for him/her (have not even decided if it is a boy or a girl) 17

Names we have come up with so far is:

Bate Mobile (we are the Batemans!)

Bill (as in Bill Bailey Built a Boat)

Kayley the Bailey

Dave (as in David Bailey)

Hayley the Bailey

 

Look forward to other suggestions so we can name our new addiditon.

I named mine Honey from Abba's Honey Honey song.  When we were looking at "Her" (the caravan) i kept singing that song as it summed her up perfectly. 

"Honey Honey, how you thrill me...  I'd heard about you before and i wanted to know some more, and now i know what they mean... You're a love machine..."

We had 2 'vans before her and i never named them but i just knew that Honey was her name
