Morning All

Just wondering if you've named your van? When the service guy came round he asked if I'd named it yet and said "oh you have to have a name"

So whats yours called?

I thought all vans have names! Our Abbey Cabaret is called Bertha, and she is pulled by Tessie the Two Ton Terracan.

   Ours is called "the van".          Did have a speedboat once called "Taznt 1 " because when people said what's its name the reply was "it hasn't one"

ours is called 'gladys', due to daughter's misreading of the previous owners badly written 'elddis'.

We Give everything a name ! Our caravan is called Dolly (hence Gypsydoll for username) & she is towed by Daisy - my Landrover Defender.

Btw I think all caravans do have names -  but not all owners know what their vans are called cause some peeps can't speak Caravanese
