In recent years, I have developed the curious hobby of compiling the interesting and arresting names of RVs I see rambling up and down Highway 101.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The names from the 70s and 80s are easily the most memorable. (Vixen and Ambassador are two favorite.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The names for the newer models suck: Attitude, Ultra Maxx, Super Lite, Vegas, Era (era?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somewhere along the way, RV names stopped being existentially-themed and became banal or stupidly contrived with misspellings to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think The Seeker or The Defender from the 1970s versus Nite Hawk today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why the change? I don’t know but there is a novel in the change. It also probably has something to do with the dumbing down and branding up of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the American Apocalypse currently unfolding, I have taken to inventing new names for RVs that might better reflect our strange times and suggest a fresh way of existential thinking for the millions of Americans gripped by panic, resignation, defiance, insanity, and anger and moved to buy RVs in record numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
