We refer to our motorhome as "the van", but I do remember from the days when we owned sailing boats that boats are always refered to as "she". The reason given was that you spend a fortune on making them look pretty, but you need to look after their bottoms if you want them to really go well.

We refer to ours as "the van". It bears the name of 'Iris' because Iris is the flower associated with 25th wedding anniversaries and is also a goddess who comes down on rainbows to take you upstairs when your life's work is done.

 

Our last van was called Annabelle after a dancing cow on a PC programme which fascinated the children.
