Why is this site named “VanBunBun”?
Lots of people who are “living the #VanLife” have real clever names for their vans. We spent a lot of time trying to think of a clever, fun name and we came up with quite a few. However, every time we searched for a name we thought of, we found someone else had already come up with the same name. We didn’t want to be copycats. After about a dozen “doh! that name is already taken” moments, we kind of gave up. We have a stuffed animal bunny rabbit that has a funny look of disappointment on her face. We call her “BunBun” but her full name is Beatrix Von BunBun. She was sitting on a shelf giving her “not impressed” look of disappointment at us. Then it hit us! We’ll name the van after her. The van will be called VanBunBun.
Now, “BunBun” the rabbit and her stuffed animal squirrel friend “Nut” ride around with us in the van and pose for pictures when neither Tracey nor I want to be in a picture.
