We name this campervan.............
Hello everyone,
Its taken us a few days to sort out insurance etc but we are now the fully fledged (bar paying stamp duty) owners of old, but (hopefully) sound campervan.
We have had a couple ideas about names but can't agree so thought you guys and gals could help out.
My first idea was Des-Tinney - originating from a combination of real estate slang, Des Res+an old tin van+our destiny.
I thought this was a good idea but Chris didn't seem too impressed. He has a very positive outlook on being couped up with me for 24/7 in a van and thinks it should be called 'Hell on Wheels'.
He also thinks driving around in a battered old van, is reminiscent of the Beverley Hill Billies and thinks 'The Clampetts' is a good alternative.
So I thought I would organise a poll, to determine what your opinion is of these names or if any other suggestions spring to mind.
Thank you kindly, I will now fish Chris out of the sea man pond
