We are thinking about naming our new Globetrotter "Meadowlark" after a famous Harlem Globetrotter and a play on our last name. We just hope it doesn't turn out to be a lemon. Ha!

I'd say that name is as close to UNIQUE & PERFECT as any ever come!
Good work! I'll watch for you on the road!
I could picture a decal with a globe orbited by a meadowlark.

Well, we are still waiting for delivery of a globetrotter, but we have spend hours contemplating what we should name our new baby, we name everything! After much discussion the executive decision has been made. GlobeTrotter!

I'd be tempted to name the truck Vici - a play on veni, vidi, vici - Dolce Vita Vici? [emoji3]

Your mileage may vary significantly and that's cool [emoji3]

LoL, nice

However, it’s definitely not a Vici

My 2019 Globetrotter is being delivered in June but I’ve already named her, “Sweet Serenity”. Look forward to registering her and applying the medallion.

Since our '14 TV is white and was already named "Olaf". We named our '17 Classic "Elsa". Oh and did I mention we are HUGE Disney fans.

We call our AS "Dimples" because when the sun angle is just right you can see the rivet indentions.
It just hit us one day.

We are picking up our new FlyingCloud tomorrow. I want to name it the “Silver Twinkie”, but I think my better half will want something a bit more romantic...

I tried that and Silver Burrito, wife nixed both, so I call her, "hän, joka menettää nimetön." Wife nixed that one also. Thus she remains nameless.

My wife and I bought our '67 Caravel from my Uncle whose wife passed away a year or so prior. My uncle never used the trailer again after his wife died and thus wanted to get rid of it and thought of us. Well, what else could we do but name our new to us trailer after it's late owner (my aunt-in-law was the original owner prior to marrying my uncle) Erma. So, our '67 Caravel is Erma and we had the bath towels monogrammed with her name.

That's a beautiful, sad, and redemptive story. Wishing you many happy trails with Erma!

That’s such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.

I thought sure I had added our name in here but went back to the start of the thread and see I participated but not with our own.

Ours is the Tin Goat - and the truck is the Freedom Machine.

Tin Goat because long before we bought the trailer we had purchased a decorative tin goat in Maine for the garden (or some reason...) and when we bought the trailer is just seemed obvious to us - and the tin goat would become our mascot wherever we camp.

The full rig: Freedom Machine/Tin Goat (yes, that's an emergency exit door on the Goat's street side - there's a thread in here about that - and if you zoom in, you can see my buddy Daisy the Bloodhound in the back window of the Freedom Machine [emoji3])
