It’s totally a ‘thing’ to look up camper names once you buy a camper of your own. As soon as you tell your family that you bought an RV they’re going to ask you if you’ve thought of any RV names yet.
So, have you?
Back in 2017 we bought a Class C RV motorhome and traveled in it full time with our four kids for 2 ½ years.
We learned quickly that our KIDS wanted us to name our RV and even our mini-van that we drove along with it. Much like you research baby names after places if you’re a big traveler like us.
I did a little research online for motorhome names, but it ended up being my husband who suggested the name ‘Morph’ for our RV since we had two slides that would open up and ‘morph’ it into our house each time we set up.
But what RV names could possibly fit your camper? Are you living in your RV full time and want to name your home on wheels? Or do you take your camper out on the weekends instead of tent camping?
You’ll find ideas with our list of RV names below.

Funny RV Names
Funny camper names can be great conversation starters. Trust me! You can show up at a new campground and easily strike up a conversation with your neighbor by sharing the name of your RV.
“We’ll be back in Jon Snow when the day ends.”
“You named your RV what?”
They’re always so fun to say. So if funny is what you want, check out the names below.
1. Rock n’ Road (pun intended)
Make a pun out of this very famous flavor and get a good laugh out of it. Rocky unpaved roads won’t stop you from traveling, and it won’t stop you from having a creative RV name either!
2. Jon Snow
Not a funny character, but has been the subject of hilarious memes all over the internet. Jon Snow would especially fit a pristine white vehicle.
3. Wander Van
Not that funny… until you realized that it sounds like a superhero name! Does Wonder Woman ring a bell?
