SPECIAL NAME POLL NOW CLOSED
We know many of you love your tourer, so in this month’s community poll we want to know if you have named it something special?
We don’t mean Swift, Coachman or Lunar – do you give your tourer a pet name…?
Simply vote yes or no and if you do give your caravan a nickname please let us know what that is. You might also get some ideas for naming your tourer!

We call our little Compass Corona “The Burrow”.
Our Avondale avocet is named Libby. Obvious reference to liberator from Blakes 7. It liberates us from our every day hum drum lifestyle.
Our 2015 Lunar Sussex Loxwood is called AUGUSTINA, because we brought her in August, and she’s a dream to tow and brings sunshine into our lives every time we use her,( well August is normally a sunny month).

Our Beautiful Eldiss Whirlwind has TR on the side, which we do not know what it stands for so we called her TIARA!

Our bailey pageant was called Caroline was called this after a mix up of words by my hudband who said caroline instead of caravan! Weve just got a Venus and have yet to name her, any suggestions?
Hi Michelle; here’s a few suggestions from our team…Venetia, Veronica, love shack (Venus is the god of love!), fly trap! Let us know what you end up calling it…
We love going to France in our white T5 VW campervan and sitting out enjoying glass of wine with a meal when there, so decided ‘Van blanc’ would be a good play on words for a name.
Our Bailey Cartagena is Big Bertha
Have had two caravans so far, one called “RUBY” due to the colour of the Bailey signage and the latest one called “ROSIE” due to our love of beautiful flowers.

Hi Paul, Adora the Explorer gets a mention by Caravan magazine as one of their favourite names!
My super Bailey Valencia 111 is called “3 P.” ??? Purple, Passion, Palace. No, Nothing like that! I just love all lilac and budleia colours and that’s what the furnishings and cushions inside are coloured!
I also have a Bichon Frise named Tee Pee (I got her from a family – Mum and Dad -Tammy, Paul, and children – Thomas, Poppy and Esme!) So it all fits! Except the other dogs are Ethan and Twm Bach but that’s another story! Does anyone else get nervous just before they start off a new season. I get the jitters about towing – once I’m on my way I’m OK. Can anyone help with the pre-journey nerves!????
My caravan is called “Claude Van Master” – a take on of Claude Van Dame

MTM III -as in Mini Tanner Manor van no 3 after we bought our new house our niece age then 8 said “Blooming eck it’s Tanner Manor” so when we got our first van she declared “well it’s just a Mini Tanner Manor”!!!
We have called our caravans Eva (hev-her) as that’s what we do.
I can’t be doing with this naming of inanimate objects.
It’s only a lump of (expensive) metal, plastic and upholstery! No-ones “names” their lounge suite, garden shed or kitchen cabinets do they? So why “name” your caravan??
Just a different point of view!!
Andy
It is another point of view Andy but for many of our readers it seems a popular thing to do as their caravan is their pride and joy!
