Is this true?

My van is called Bertha - Hence the username - (she's an '86 express) and after i removed the cracked Merlin graphics i replaced them with ones that say Bertha.
Easy to find after a few beers.(not that a 24 year old van doesnt stand out enough already.)

We have named our motorhome "Little B" mainly because she sits in the shade of Big Bertha the big red race truck that we keep in the yard.

What the "B" of "Little B" stands for is a mystery ;).

We also have an old Mini called Haa Haa. One day Haa Haa might be towed by Little B but for now we're doing fine with our pushbikes.

My car is named Dehlila, because the registration (minus number) reads YYY:rolleyes:

My signmaker husband has "officially" named Little B with subtle vehicle graphics in colours matching her factory fitted ones and we've shamelessly had private number plates put on which quite obviously read as "Lill B"

We met two other motorhomers at the weekend who both had private plates on theirs but I didn't know if they'd named them.

Is it popular to get private plates?
 
Ours is called "Old Lady" because she was born (built) in 1986 I was going to call her Guernsey Donkey after the wife, Guernsey folk are called "Guernsey Donkeys" because they are hard working and stubborn and that's so true of my wife.
 
van names

Second transit was not nearly as lovely as the previous one and so my wife (gf at the time) named it 'Vernon' (the van) and he did behave himself a little better after that. but then he died, as all things do and along came 'mervinder' (the mercedes) who was beautiful,, big and slow. then her time came and we are now returning to uk to a 30ft converted bedford tk horsebox, bought unseen. i'll let you know what it's called after I've met it.
 
I am busy building mine. She is Italian, a Fiat, but with a Spanish name, Bonita.
 
Big Fella

Yep! But only my VW Buses. None of my other cars have been named. The names just happen. My latest is "Big Fella" a 1975 campmobile, who got his name (notice it was not a which or an it) when trying to climb the Rockies in New Mexico. Just like in the Lone Ranger - "on Big Fella, on!)
 
Hank the Tank

After Hank Marvin and Hank Sanders a dear old family friend and world class cricketer, sadly departed. Oh and hes big like a tank!
 
I might have to change the name of mine from "old lady" to "Cassandra" because she always answers back! JOKE (The posts on this site).

By the way Cass - this site is looking good. (Creep))

Like the 'Beckhams' we named our daughter where she was conceived - Volvo will be 18 this September. Still thinking of a suitable name for our nearly completed camper......
 
Percy rides again

We're just back in circulation after a Transit van (not white, but it should have been of course) made a mess of the rear o/s corner of our van last August. Yes, last August! It's now got a rebuilt corner, total new o/s and rear panels and the shower cubicle rebuilt. I'm pleased to say it's like new - a big thankyou there to the Motorhome Repair Company near Shepton Mallet who made a superb job of it.

The wait was for parts from Pilote, France. They were sent once, arriving in January - all damaged! We had to start all over again from scratch.

Now at last Percy - yes, a male name! - is back on the road and looking good!

:)
 
Billy Bongo - mmm, has a certain ring to it.

Like Percy Pilote? Well, maybe. :)

Van Names

Hi,I have a VW T4 hightop 2.5Tdi.We call it Hillary as only Sir Edmund could climb hills quicker.
 
All our motors from the first, a Moggy 1000 up to present Talbot express have been called BESSIE. Theres a kind of homely feeling when you say " Come on Bessie you can do it! "
