So one day I decided to name my 2018 17B "Maple".

There you have it....

This is parallel to when our 15A was new. Although it had been tagged with the id letters from Wolf's piper cub from 50 plus years ago above the rear window, I could see it from our kitchen window as well and thought to myself " it really is a little gem. So one day I did get some little graphics to add.... and there it is.

Nice! I still haven't got any additional graphics for mine. I am spending my $$ on the mods.

Well after reading all these names and texting names back and forth to each other.
We decided to call our new to us 2013 15 b.

Room4two

My wife is a very good painter so she will make the graphic which we think will be a small trailer with two red hearts in it.

We will see.

I checked on plates and there several versions we could get.

Velocity.

I have a 19 on order. I doubt anyone can come up with the explanation for the name. Doing the GB shuffle. I'll give you a slight hint, I was U.S. Army chemical corps

I’ve been thinking a lot about a name and logo. Might go with Speedbird and the British Airways/BOAC historic bird logo. BOAC and BA were super important to me for the first half of my life, I love that Speedbird is still the beautiful callsign for BA. I want something having to do with a type of vessel, and the graphic will be easy to reproduce.

Might even put the name in the classic 1970s BA font, "Sigvar".

Our 21C “baby” just went into production, so we’re trying to finalize a name. Don’t want to infringe on any “trademarks” out there in the Escape trailer community, so does anyone go by Dreamscape? We like it, so we’re hoping the name is original.

If we can go with Dreamscape, our new tow vehicle would be named Walter Mitty (or just Walter) - the preoccupied daydreamer in the James Thurber short story (and subsequent movies).

As long as your engine doesn’t go Ta poketa poketa, poketa, BANG! You’ll be ok.
Some of the folks around here call walleyes Walters, or Wally. But not Walter Mitty.

Haha. Right, let’s hope the engine doesn’t do that. Thanks.

Since I am a Dr Suess fan, I considered naming the trailer CLAM I AM. Jury is still out on that one.

“Oh the places you’ll go.” It’s not a promise, it’s reality, if you get out there and do it. And Clam I Am will let you do it.

We named ours Sskape, only by the entry door where escape should be. Ssk is my wife mark on her pottery, Sue, stan, keith our son. You can see who got the capital letter.

Don't worry about it, many of us have. Especially those of us who call it "the trailer".

Haha, and we could call our tow vehicle “the truck.” Bet nobody uses that.

[Rockhead]

Still haven’t named our trailer but we call our tow vehicle BATTLE WAGON

yakRV…. I suspect Ron in BC might

We haven’t named our 5.0 but the people who we bought it from called it “Houdini”.

Escape - get it! (….well I didn’t right away).

[WillyB]

We have a few for our upcoming 21C.

"Side Effect" is on the top of our list so far.

[Ron in BC]

No matter what you call your trailer, if you must name it, none of the names will come close to being a bit unprintable, at least on the forum as some boat names.

Some friends of my niece moved out here from Calgary and couldn't wait to buy a boat. They know nothing, and I mean nothing, about sailing but they had a dream.

Took them out a couple of weeks ago to show them some little things, like how to exit and return to their slip.

They got tee shirts with the boat name on them. "Sea you later" They thought it was unique. I told them that the first time they get to one place in the Gulf Islands they're see at least several boats with the same name. I told them it's a boat name for newbies. That's OK, they can't fire me, they still don't know how to put up their sails.

land’SCAPE gets a thumbs up from us.

It’s funny, after piggybacking on this thread and posting on it I went back to the early posts from 2016. To my surprise, the thread starter said Dream Escape was on their list of possible names. So close to our Dreamscape. Great minds, I guess. Haha. (we swear we didn’t see that post before )
