We need your help naming our teardrop camper!
It didn’t take us long to figure out that nearly every long-time RV owner names their camper.
As we ventured out over the last few weeks for a couple of camping trip test runs, we were surprised to find fellow RV owners asking us what we had named our Tab 400 teardrop camper.
And sadly, we didn’t have an answer for them.
The thought of naming our teardrop camper had really never crossed our minds.
But obviously, after being approached no less than 5 times on the first few days, we certainly need to come up with one now!
Naming Our Teardrop Camper
So ever since taking those first few trial runs, we have been bouncing all kinds of names off of each other.
And, unfortunately, we just haven’t found one that really captures what this 50 state, 365 day tour of the United States is all about for us.
On one hand, it is about following our dreams and goals, and making them happen while you can.
And it is certainly all about that!
On the other hand, this trip is also about having the opportunity to see the sights and sounds of America, all while expanding our own horizons.
We can’t wait to meet folks from all over – including followers, friends, family, fellow gardeners, and many we don’t yet even know!
So how do you capture that in a name for a camper that we will call home for an entire year?
A Little Contest To Help…
So we thought we would ask for your help! And have a little fun in the process.
We need to come up with a name for our Tab 400 Teardrop that captures the spirit of this trip.
The details:
If you have an idea for naming our camper, simply let us know in the comment section below, or email us at livesimple@livesimplenow.com
Since we will be traveling around the entire country, we have decided to create a little reward for whoever helps us come up with the name we end up selecting.
For starters, we will include your hometown on our 50 state tour.
And then, to have a little more fun, meet up with you and a guest of your choice for a dinner ( our treat) at a local restaurant in your hometown.
And finally, we will also include a signed copy of each of our first two books, and a first-edition signed copy of our third book about the trip when completed. ( And most likely, a little mention in the book about the event!)
It will be our way of saying “Thank You” for helping us name our travelling home!
So let us know your thoughts and help us come up with the perfect name!
We will reveal our winning choice with next Monday evening’s weekly article.
Here is to naming the camper! Jim and Mary
What a great idea.
I suggest Charley as in John Steinbeck book Travels with Charley. It was about traveling the states.
“The Yearling”
Dreamcatcher
Or
Jim & Mary’s Dreamcatcher
Calamity Jane: American frontierswoman and professional scout, known for her claim of being an acquaintance of Wild Bill Hickok and for fighting Indians.
You may not be fighting Indians, but certainly forging a recognition of land, place and community
The ‘Dawn Treader’ from the fictional world of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. It was a ship commissioned to be built by King Caspian so that he could sail beyond the Lone Islands and on to the unknown Eastern Ocean. A great adventure with friends old and new!
What a fun challenge. Music often inspires me. Your trip is from sea to shining sea. The song America the Beautiful came to mind. You could call her Beauty. It could be spelled Be@uty. Safe travels.
Tabby Fifty
For the fifty states you will visit
Sojourn Dream
“Fearless” … and you are!
The Minnow II.
A take from Gilligan’s Island,
The Professor and Mary Ann….. a new episode each and every day. Yours will Be far more than “a three hour tour”
50 or Bust
Nubees
Freedom. Represents simple living thru freedom from all negative aspects of daily stressors.
BIG COUNTRY CRUISER or GOD’S COUNTRY CRUISER (a little inspiration from Blake Shelton)
“Seedling” Starts small and builds hope for what will come!
Liberty
You get to choose how to do life in a country in which you are free to move about.
It looks like a sweet little Turttle Dove.
I think the name Voyager would be perfect.
Lucky Us. Great name
Woody.
After the tireless, questing troubadour who penned:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood forests, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
Excursion – since the trip is a magnificent excursion 🙂
I think that naming your camper is a great idea! I think that “Toodaloo” would be a cute name as y’all will be on a world wind trip of a lifetime with so much to see and making new friends along the way! Have a blast on your upcoming adventure.
Maybe something with “nest” in it, in honor of the farm – like Nomad’s Nest
How about Gumdrop, Rollie Pollie, The Comet, Chrysalis, Iggy (short for Igloo), or Tad (short for Tadpole)?
I suggest you name it Liberty Card, or Elsie (L.C.) for short. Liberty Card is what you get to go off base for some fun when you are in the military.
Pea Pod
“No Tears Here”
Oops, I posted on NuCamps post on FB.
I suggested Simple Simon, or “Simon” for short!
Wishing you great adventures! Our record is 24 nights in our T@b so far!
