We name ours- I name my cars too. Only drawback is they become too much part of the family and its horrible when you sell them on , I cry when they have to go :-(

Ours is called the caravan

That is strange, could be confusing as ours has the same name!

All of our caravans have had the same name - "The Van". Never believed in getting sentimental in case it got stolen etc. Seems a bit daft to give a name to a lump of metal. Same with our cars - either "my car" or for my wife "your car".

Involving the kids in all things caravan related is great and it sounds as though naming your new addition will just add to that involvement and add to their fun and enjoyment, so go for it, I say.

We had a classic VW Camper before we switched to an Eriba, and we named the Camper as like you, it seemed part of the family.

Enjoy!

We always name our caravans Smile  We also have naming ceremonies ..... "I name this caravan (name) may god bless her ... and all who burn toast in her"  Laughing   We don't smash a bottle on the outside though Laughing
