In the BlueBird group it was a big thing to have a cool name for your bird (our's was 'Mauvelous' since she was dipped in Pepto). Do Newell owners do that? I thought about having stickers made for the rear with our names and maybe the coach name at the top near the camera... I have no idea what to call her, maybe 'Banana Royale' or 'Mellow Yellow' or 'Creme Pi' ...

I have only seen a few Newells that had names on them. #791 has "Our Condo" in script on the front below the windshield.

had custom letters made for the back of my coach by the back up cam.
"HEAVY METAL"
i believe it is appropriate.

We call ours " The Wigwam " because we have a boston terrier dog named "Wiggles" that LOVES the camper. This dog goes totally nuts whenever you fire up the main or generator motors.
We named our boat " Roxy's " because we have a golden retriever dog named "Roxy" that loves the water and you definitely feel the "Rock-sies" after spending a day on her!
Almost named this coach "Carbon BigFoot"…still may use that name someday.
Never painted it on the coach…I'm too cheap!

I thought of calling it "Workin-for-a-livin'" A spin-off of the BTO rock song. That just don't seem right since my Newell was originally built for the Steve Miller band so "Fly like an Eagle" might be better.
