We named Forrest because it is a combination rhyme and what we do with it.  Foretravel & camping in the forests of America.  Therefore:  For-(Foretravel) & -forest.  It was also named after Forrest Tucker famous actor last filmed in the TV show F Troup.

(edit)  I almost forgot...the 2004 Honda Element was named after Henry Fonda.  Can you figure out why?  Hint: Henry Honda

Blue Angle,  It is blue, I love air shows and the blue angles, I have a collectable blue angle watch, I have a blue angle clock in the MH.  I love it, when we leave the captain will announce that the landing gear is up, flaps are in retracted position, and we will soon reach cruise altitude shortly at 60MPH.

Wonderful ^.^d

We called our 88 Old Faithful, because it was over 25 and never failed us without warning.

The 94 is younger but still reliable for a 20+ year old vehicle ;D

Who else has names? Don't be shy :))

Being brand new owners, we are taking our first "official" trip to Hilton Head on Monday but we are leaning towards "Rocinante". Many hidden meanings and a good laugh.....if it becomes official!

We named our 1996 U270 Bubbles because she just floated along. The name stuck and everyone we know started calling her Bubbles.

Now our 1999 U320 is named Tex, he just felt like a much stronger beast and we bought him from a couple in San Antonio. Not as original as Bubbles, but it fits him.

Willie.  The first time a friend came over after always seeing our other SOB parked in the barn, he said oh is Willie Nelson here? Hence the name Willie. David

We picked FREEDOM because of our 53 years combined service in the Air Force.  Belle kinda flowed naturally from the Jeep Liberty.

Home 2.  Same plate on every RV we have ever owned since 1978. Stamped galvanized steel.  Should have trademarked the name.
