Tell us your Ollie's name

[HDRider]

I thought we might put the names of our Oliver trailer here as a cross reference and index.

“Lottie”, inspired by the Deming, NM gambler Carlotta Thurmond whose nickname was Lottie Deno (self-stylized from the moniker “Lotta Dinero” given to her by another gambler). Carlotta is thought to have been the inspiration for Miss Kitty of the Gunsmoke TV series  

the nickname performs double duty for my Ollie as I commonly refer to her as Lottie Frickin’ Da due to her being frequently found camping “down by the river”.  Lottie sounds a lot better than calling her Matt Foley. IYKYK

We decided to call ours Kimba, as in "Kimba the White Lion" from the Japanese manga series.  No reason other than the trailer was white and that is what we kept thinking of every time we talked about our Oliver.

Small white fiberglass travel trailers are often compared in appearance to an egg. There's an old joke about why the French only eat one egg for breakfast - because one is "Un Œuf" (anglicized pronunciation "enough"). We feel our LE2 is more than Un Œuf for us.

"Pearl".  Because my sister-in-law said it looked like a tampon. 

Don't shoot me - I only came up with the name.  My SIL made the comment...

Curiosity- Steve and Deb from northern Ohio 

Copy/pasted from my “Meet Curiosity” thread:

Paul Harvey mode on: “And now, for the rest of the story!”

The inspiration for the came from a video by the “From She To Me” YouTube channel, which is the travels of a couple our age in their class B van. The voiceover for a recent trip was “Every one of our journeys begin with curiosity. What will we discover? What challenges might we encounter? What will be the lessons we learn?” I paused, replayed that scene, and paused again. Epiphany moment! I turned to Deb and asked how “Curiosity” sounds for a name for our new Oliver, and she was all for it.

Then I looked at various images for graphics inspiration. I saw the corporate logo for Curiosity Software Ireland, and thought I’d fiddle with something along those lines. On a whim, I wrote to them asking permission to use their logo. 

Surprisingly, not only did they approve, but enthusiastically so, offering original graphics files and their endorsement. They plan to tell our story on their social media blog. Crazy how both events happened!!

#1047 Saunter - to amble or stroll. Like so many Oliver owners we like to discover whatever is in front of us, wherever that may be. We have found that happens best at a patient pace.

No name, but often referred to as My COW (Condo-on-Wheels) and storage facility the COW Barn.

“The trailer”.  Because it is one.

Is that The Trailer or the trailer.  I have owned 4 Volvos over the years but my wife knows when I refer to The Volvo it is my 1975 244GL Volvo that I sold years ago.

I think it is - “the trailer”.  Not really a formal name.  We also call the truck, “the truck”.  Sometimes our imagination just runs wild.

I learned this word when we met in Glacier!

We have gone with Bunny, because she is white and our last name rhymes with Rabbit, you take it from there.

We haven’t been able to agree on a FINAL name….😜

But a commonly used one is THE OLLIE… because our daughter’s dog is already Ollie

We also use MDIV because we are hull 1504 …. So close to 1500 which would have been perfect for Melissa and Dennis 😃

June.  She "got hitched" to Cash, the man in black, back in Sept of 2023.  The picture will explain.

"The Wonder Egg" - because 17 years ago when it was in production, an Oliver travel trailer was cutting edge manufacturing technology in the fiberglass trailer world.  It was a wonder the factory was so eager to accommodate any modification I wanted them to make to hull #14.  Solar power was not common way back then, I have the first 2000w inverter, they also wired it for my ham radio hobby which makes it so simple to connect my radio on the inside to a long range antenna on the outside. They placed the springs above the axle to make it easier to maneuver and park in heavily wooded areas.  They added an analogue phone line connection near the dinette (hahaha). I have specialized graphics which required them to reposition the license plate. I've now gone to disk brakes - uncommon on single axle trailers, making it even more wondrous!

There were perks to being an early bird.

Cracker Jack.  when you are good or exceptional, they call you CRACKER JACK!!    My last three boats also went by that moniker.
