It turns out it doesn't matter what I call it -

it just won't come.

(sorry, I just couldn't help myself)

Mine is a bit more nostalgic,

Named it after one of Piedmont's Pacemakers,

"Cape Hatteras Pacemaker"
My father would be proud.

Piedmont, Route of the Pacemakers

I'm a big Jimmy Buffett fan so we named ours "Changes in Latitudes" because we wanted to use it in Florida a lot and that would be a change in latitude for us. Our camping cocktail is a watermelon margarita (my wife's favorite). Being Disney fans, we use a Mickey Mouse meets Jimmy Buffett theme to our camp site and our interior decor.

I call mine "The Pig". Becuase it both looks like a pig and it eats like one (cash I mean).

Both named after our good friend Binki ....she drives the BINKI I

What now?

Since we havent actually camped with her yet we dont have any fond memories.. but wife keeps refering to her as "What now?"

We have our first real trip planned in March so while sitting around the campfire i will try to think one up and report back.

What do I call my A/S?

I don't. It never seems to do any good, she never comes when I call...



(I haven't read all of the posts, I appologize if this is a repeated theme...)

Our 62" Flying Cloud is named "Doris Mae" after my wife's mother. Another tough old bird! I like it because it sounds like a WWII Bomber!
