As someone pointed out in my earlier bus thread, quite a few of these coaches have names or slogans adorning the front. Who am I to buck the trend? I am neither sappy or sentimental, so all the crap about far from home, girls names, no fixed address etc leaves me cold.

Right now I am considering "The colossal fossil"

Along the same lines, but perhaps too deep for most of the travelling public, "Revenge of the dinosaurs"

I also happen to like the word Pachyderm. But how to utilize it in a way that is both profound and witty? Certainly the thing is elephantine. Here is the latest pic for those who need a focal point.

Anyway, I am open to suggestions. Maybe I can offer a company ball hat to the winning entry. Just be advised that I deal in human E36 M3, so the wording on the hat does reflect that....

Been told of a guy with an old Greyhound bus converted to an RV. On the destination sign on the front it said "Stray hound"

Off to a good start! I like Brontosaurus, but it needs a little word play.

Pachydorm, for the combination of elephantine scale and lodging?

Pachydrome, which makes it sound like there will be gladiatorial events inside...

I think you should put the company slogan on the side

I used to have one but it didn't really fit the image I am trying to project. Now its just a nice clean name.

How about a reference to the Simpson's and their campers? The Ultimate Behemoth or the Grand Canyonero.

bearmtnmartin Was this the bus that was in Michigan or did you find one more local to you. It looks nice.

I was actually gonna say "Rusty Mammoth" but then I saw Snuffleupabus and I'm going to second that.

Instead, how about Superpesante or Supergrosso (super heavy).
