50+ Camping Trailer Names: Funny & Unique Name Ideas

Names Of Our Trailers

My husband and I have had many trailers and we’ve given each one a unique name.

The Baby Doll: Baby doll is the nickname we call each other, so, why not call our first camper by the same name. Ha ha.

The Bantam: We had zero creativity when we called our hybrid camper trailer by the RV manufacturers name! What were we thinking?

The Mansion: When we moved from one hybrid to an even bigger one, we felt like we moved into a mansion, hence the name.

Weezie: We were done with hybrid tent campers after we woke up in the middle of the night with wet beds, the thunderstorm was a big one and the rain penetrated the canvas walls. We purchased a travel trailer with a slide out and my sister said we were “movin’ on up” just like the Jeffersons did in the tv sitcom. That’s how Weezie got her name.

Lucille: After my husband retired we needed more space to pack more gear for longer trips. Traveling greater distances and living in a camper most of the summer caused us to move out of lightweight travel trailers. We considered new RV types: fifth wheels, a, b and class c motorhomes, we ended up purchasing a 5th wheel. It was a big step into a much larger rig. Our challenges reminded us of “The Long, Long Trailer” movie with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz so our new-to-us trailer was named Lucille.
