As I look around the park, I have to giggle. RV manufacturers have bestowed their rigs with the most implausible names. See if you can spot the fictional one:
Cougar
Renegade
Magnum
Crusader
Road Warrior
Raptor
Avenger
XTreme
Wildcat
Maverick
Transcend
Vengeance
Prowler
Bullet
and my personal favorite, Intruder
Not to mention the collection of things that you hope to never actually experience with your motorhome:
Avalanche
Cyclone
Hurricane
Fireball
Inferno
Of course then we have the location-aspirational names, which only gets me giggling when we are in crowded or very well-groomed parks, the kind with lots of HOA-type rules, as they seem to demand spacious boondocking spots with sweeping views:
Montana
Laredo
Bighorn
Outback
As to which one was a made up name...? None of them. These are all real RV names I see on a regular basis.
I suppose this is all handled by Marketing Geniuses, if they were to name them realistically, nobody would buy:
Slow and Wide
Elephant
Never-Ending Mortgage
Nowhere Canya Park It
Spring-A-Leak
Bring All Your TVs with You
Stop Breathing On Me
Makes me appreciate the wisdom in simple, logical classic names that endure:
Airstream
Teardrop
Cub
Escape
Escape
American Dream
Ah... the things that grab your brain when sitting around the campfire with time to let it wander freely...
