I don't mean Eldiss or Swift but does it have it's own pet name?

I know people name cars and boats obviously have names but what about the poor tin camper?

Of course! Our first caravan was an Abbey Cabaret called Bertha. We loved her to bits (quite literally in fact) and she went to the Great Campsite In The Sky last year. We now have Patsy, a Pageant Provence. She is towed by Tessie The Two Ton Terracan.

Yes, we are quite mad.

Keep calm and go camping....

The Caravan. Towed by The Jeep.
It's a thing, not a person, and doesn't have a name.

Of course my caravan has a name and so do my cars - they are all part of the family!

I have Holi, my 1969 Fisher Holivan caravan.
She is towed by Wilma Daisy, my 30 year old classic Mini
I also have Toyah-ota, my 8 seater Toyota Hi Ace Super Custom.

We also have Mr Bean, another classic Mini painted just like Mr Bean's.
Old Mini is my OH's 50 year old classic Mini and was his first car that he bought when he was 17!

Got a dandy camper called the magic mushroom.

So called because of its colouring and because of its ability to open from a small trailer to a two double bedded unit.

Our caravans have always been called Daisy. I can't remember why. The car is always called Gertie!
