Not one for naming inanimate objects but after persistance from a friend i might name the teardrop,a year in the making i guess it deserves a name.
The 80 series is just the wagon,

Geez you caught me on the edge of the fence with this. Yes you should have a name for the teardrop, especially when you're a year in to the build. Ya can't force it though.

I have a few sketches and an off road 7x5 box trailer ready for a tear drop camper conversion. I had named it Salty.

"Campers/Caravans are female right?"

hmm - where's that going...

"Our neighbor has a Pajero that he call Vaj the PaJ, so we've named his camper "Ina" "

ok, maybe that's it - gee, I'm glad your not my neighbour though - I wonder if that's what my neighbours think of me?!

"i did have 3 cub campers at one time so they become the three bear cubs"

now, that really is cute...!

our 'paj' is called 'alf' - I know, its on his bonnet stone guard (no, when I first bought him it was his number plate in nsw)
the camper is 'the unit' (named by the missus - not sure if it was after she tried to kick a brick under its wheel to chock it - with bare feet...)

This friend suggested it looked like it belonged in "lost in space" so jupiter 2 in waterjet cut stainless in a 50s font is on the cards

Sounds great. You have inspired a theme for my new camper thing. I still can't work out if it's a caravan or a camper trailer.

good to see someone else doesn't allow himself to be manipulated into using female names for his cars - a lot of people (mostly female) are taken aback by my doing so

a car is a mate to me, as is the camper and the boat - they don't whinge, theyre always there for you and its not 'all about them' (although there are times...)

I just couldn't have a fitted out challenger being called cherry, Charisse or some other chick name.

It works for our young fella too ie he knows which car to hop in when you say Ruby or Oscar...

We go along the lines of many others.
The 80 series - the truck
The Commodore - your car
The Premier - my car
The crossover - the van

Haven't named the Ultimate, but the LX is called Stan - Tan Stan thanks to his inspiring colour!

i sometimes call my grand vitara "the frittata"

Terry W4 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 05, 2015, 09:32:17 PM »

Prado is called The Tardis.

Rocky and Bullwinkle · « **Reply #35 on:** December 06, 2015, 04:41:28 AM »

Rocky for the ute because when we moved to the High Country a ute I was looking at was advertised by a person who called themselves Rocky. Did not buy that ute but it stuck for the old ute and now for the new one Of course who hangs a round with Rocky but Bullwinkle so the New camper got its name.

theins · « **Reply #36 on:** December 06, 2015, 08:19:32 AM »

Yep, both car and camper have been named

Snowy - our white D4
Rufus - our AS camper

We have R2D2 and C3PO, we thought about getting BB-8 for the trailer but couldn't justify the $550 for the plates on the camper.

Nice work. You should splurge and get the full set of plates.

ok we have splashed out on a prado (albeit second hand) and have no idea what to call it - act plates are so boring - can anyone make a suggestion? my pajero was 'alf' after its original nsw rego (and it seems to suit him), previous car (lh torana) was 'hewie' as its number plate was 'hew-...' but what can you do with 'yhq-...'?

hmm, maybe I can make this a competition...?

Kids have named the nissan XTrail "the beast" (just wait until a Patrol is in budget!) and our Cavalier camper is "Chuck".

Glad to see that I have a Torana named after me
