Describe a nickname you’ve given your motorhome.
We have a 2010 Winnebago Journey that we named “Jimmy Journey.” Jimmy’s interior is adorned with decorative wood blocks, pictures, and pillows that contain the word “journey,” such as “Life is a Journey; Enjoy the Ride” and “I do believe it’s time for a journey to adventure.” It has been a lot of fun to make and shop for journey decor.

It all started when we bought our boat back in 2000 and were deciding what to name it. My wife and I thought “Hardy Party,” because we always give that name while waiting for a table at restaurants. Our boating friends said we must call it the “Party Hardy,” because of all the fun we were going to have at the lake. We bought a Country Coach motorhome and came up with “PRTY HRDY” for our Arizona license plate name, because of all the fun we will have in it also. Needless to say, we do have a lot of fun, whether on our boat or in our motorhome.

Our motorhome’s name is “Luv Nest,” and that is the way the license plate reads. Our towed vehicle’s license plate is “Nest Egg” (a product of the Luv Nest). The Luv Nest has been our full-time home for 16 years. We love it and wouldn’t trade it for the world!

My husband and I have owned four bus conversions since joining FMCA. The first was a transit bus that came from a charter company called All West Tours; it became “All Ours” by removing letters from the name painted on the side. Our second and third buses were former highway coaches. One was called “Déjà Vu,” because we tended to rotate through the same five to seven parking locations; people always felt they’d seen us before. The other was called “Grey Ghost,” because of the white paint on the sides. Our current conversion is a 31-foot former shuttle bus. We call it “AliCat,” because it has an Allison transmission, a Caterpillar engine, and loves to roam all over. We also pull an enclosed trailer we like to call the “Catbox.” It holds the car, bikes, barbecue, and other necessities.

We have been RVing for years with tents, a pop-up behind our motorcycle, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. When we bought our first motorhome, a used 36-foot Tiffin Allegro Bay, I started calling her “Marilou.” We bought a used Honda CR-V, which I nicknamed “Harvey (the CR-V).”
When we upgraded to our 37-foot Tiffin Allegro Bus, I named “him” “Barnard” . . . “Barney,” for short. My husband, Buddy, kept referring to the bus as “her” or “the old girl,” so I decided to rename “her” Bernice. Our new CR-V is “Harvey2”! Our vehicles have personalities, don’t they?
