Picking out the best RV name is almost like a right of passage. Sure, the tradition sparked from boats, where naming your seafaring machine is mandatory. Still, it’s a practice that brings meaning to your home away from home. By picking a camper name for your RV or travel trailer, your road trip partner becomes yours through and through.

You decide to name your RV, so you resolve to get creative. There are endless options out there, and we know that’s easier said than done. So, we’ve curated a list of more than 250 perfect names for your RV or travel trailer. Should you stumble upon the perfect one for your vehicle, it’s all yours.

250+ Perfect Names for Your RV or Travel Trailer

 

Choose an RV Name Route

First thing’s first. When you name an RV, you need to decide which path to take. We suppose it’s not much different than picking a route for your roadway journey.

Should the name be funny to reflect your laid-back sense of humor? It might be wise to poke fun at your massive (in more ways than one) investment. Should it take on a sense of outdoor enthusiasm? After all, that’s why you got the travel trailer in the first place.

Should you go for a more traditional name? This’ll be the one you can share with no shame, regardless of where you venture. What about reflecting your love for music and pop culture? With a name like this, you may have an easier time finding like-minded travelers on the open road.

Whatever path you take in the camper naming journey will be a fun one. We’ve come up with a set of names for every type of RV owner. It’s no secret the camper population is a diverse one, so it only makes sense we’d cover all our bases.

Have a Little Humor When Choosing an RV Name

People tend to name their RVs, fifth wheels, and other mobile campers with humor in mind. This includes puns and jokes alike. When we hear names like this, it always gives us a little chuckle. We suspect we’re not the only ones, too. Why not have some fun with your holiday mobile by choosing a lighthearted name that brings a smile to the faces of passers-by?

Reflect Your Love for Adventure in your Camper Name

If you own an RV or travel trailer, you likely have some interest in adventure and the outdoors. After all, a recreational vehicle makes for the perfect way to head outside every chance you get. You’ve got the forest, the trees and the roads in between. Why not use an RV name to tell the world just how much you love the earth and all it has to offer?

If you’re passionate about music, why not share it with everyone who sees? Try naming your RV after a favorite tune, artist or genre. It’s a great way to get in the rhythmic spirit. With an endless library of song titles to choose from, you’re bound to find something that sticks.

  6. We have a Little Guy Mini Max that we have made as cozy and homey inside as possible with wall stickers, paintings of birds (by my husband) and a wall covering on the back wall that duplicates the blonde wood cabinets arount the trailer. Lots of pillows and quilts and a teak table replaces the metal one it came with. We call our retreat “Hygge Hus”. Danish word and lifestyle “hygge” means “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).”

  7. When we got our Foretravel and my husband mentioned that we should name her (which I didn’t even know was a thing) it didn’t take me very long to come up with the name we decided on. My husband is from Mississippi and I’m from Louisiana so the obvious no brainer is Miss Lou.

  8. My wife’s family had an old pop-up camper with a bumper sticker on it that said “Archie Bunker for President”. When My wife and I bought out new Travel trailer we named it Archie 2.0 with a picture of Archie Bunker. I had a custom magnetic bumper made.

  14. We called our first little 1975 motorhome “Felicity”

    felicity noun
    fe·​lic·​i·​ty | \ fi-ˈli-sə-tē \
    plural felicities
    Definition of felicity
    1a: the quality or state of being happy
    especially : great happiness
    marital felicity
    b: an instance of happiness
    2: something that causes happiness
    … the small felicities and absurdities of real life manage to peek through the gloom.
    — A. O. Scott

    Our second one (1986) was “Fair S. Beulla” (Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it)

    Came here to find a great name for the “newest” one (1989)….my daughter would be ecstatic if we called her Trailer Swift as suggested above…but alas, she’s a motorhome.

  15. We are big Tom Petty Fans. This is our first travel trailer, and we are learning so much so we named it “Learning to Fly”. In the song Tom sings “Started out from God knows where, I guess I’ll know when I get there”. As we head into the retirement years we will be “Learning to Fly”!

  17. My A frame is named Pandora, originally after the high school librarian that had a huge positive influence on me but evolving to include the “opening of the box” theme so similar to opening an A frame. I am now converting a navy blue (tiny) Ford Transit and was struggling to find the right name. After reading your list, it will definitely be The T.A.R.D.I.S.! Thank you!

  26. We just bought our first camper for off season camping -ironically we are too busy during the summer to camp. So I’m thinking about naming ours ‘Shitters Full’ from Christmas Vacation. It’s a family favorite and tradition to watch that movie over and over on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We love that movie.

    Bears’ Den has also come up. The nickname my husband has given me is Bear. This all came about years ago when I wasn’t always so happy and eager to see the sun come up. My personality matched that of a grizzly 😂 It stuck.

    So we will be naming our camper. Just not sure yet which way this is going. It’ll be fun either way.
