It's "Round"! We're "Round"! We like to travel "Around"!. It's realy good to "Sleep in"! So we called it,

"Sleepin Around" NZ.
 
We named ours "The Blue Guppy" Growing up we used to travel between CA and MO because of my dad's work. We took the Mother Road when it was her hayday and loved it as kids. I took my family on it this last summer to go back and visit my Pop, I shared all our stories and described all the great places and how it used to be. It was sad to see what was left but great to share it with my family. One of my favorite stops was the Blue Whale and I can remember when we could swim in the pond. Well when we returned and chose Route 66 as our theme my husband said it is too small to call the Blue Whale..... it is more guppy size. LOL It stuck and Mr. Limpet is our mascot on the logo we created.
 
"Redneck Teepee".....It made me think of when the American Indian would strap the teepee poles along side their ponys and tie the skins between them to drag everything between winter and summer camps,.... I'm a redneck and I drag the teardrop between camps! :)
 
"Wanderin' Aimlessly" - I came up with it enroute to the Dam gathering last year - a 650 mile drive from my house here in Washington that ended up being over 900 miles by the time I got there. When I got my driver's license at 16 years ago, my mom always accused me of coming home by way of Seattle - Canada - whatever way was longest when heading home from work at my dad's gas station (which was only about a 15 mile drive) along with thinking of a friend who passed away a few years back who always called the late nite back road cruise's as "driving aimlessly". Came up of 3 different names, 'Driving Aimlessly', 'Meandering Aimlessly' and settled on "Wanderin' Aimlessly"
 
Growing up in the Arizona Sonoran Desert, I heard of old prospectors being called a Desert Rat ... Because I love the Arizona Desert (from its sagebrush flats to its mountain peaks), I just picked that up and added "The Arizona" to the front of it ... The Arizona Desert Rat 8)

I started building a new one and had hoped to pull it to the IRG.
I called it Cross Bow because it's front does not curve up and down but left and right.
As I got closer to the end and it was suggested I put on a Trolley top I changed the name to The Little Blue Trolley.

But I am pulling the Box Kite to the IRG my wife pointed out it had no kitchen yet and it anything had to be done it was the kitchen. So she pulled the plug and after the IRG I will work on her kitchen.

Got the TD so I could travel with my dog. So in honor of my companion....the name is "Bonner's Bed."

I designed the whole trailer in my head, then built it as (mostly) planned in my head. The galley hatch was designed to have no upward facing seams to bother with sealing, and no issues with bumping my head on an overhead hatch.
the first time I tested the hatch open I saw the shape looked just like the little wings drawn onto the feet of Mercury (the greek mythology guy) I had another name before that, but the tear named itself.
 
We named our Conch Fritter because we live in Florida, like the Keys and love eating conch fritters. So the decor goes along with that. Inside the wife made crochet wall hangings that look like nets with little fish and stuff. Cabinet doors have glued on shells and star fish and I'll be building the pirate chest front storage this winter.

I named my trailer Squareback cause it's not a Teardrop and it has a square back. I could've easily did a Teardrop as I am a cabinetmaker and have a CNC that can cut up to 48 x 120 sheet goods but I wanted to do something different. It's almost finished, adding back doors today and adding accessories like fold down table tops and speakers and flood lights that go up to 8 feet.

Here's a rear view of the "Squareback" 8)

Although we won't actually get our TC Teardrop delivered until July, she already has a name: "The Dew Drop Inn". She will also be known as the "Do Drop In" since we expect lots of visitors to our beautiful new home.
Can't wait to actually camp in her!
