Who are Tiny and Lucille?

It is more a matter of "what" are Tiny and Lucille. 

First, I have to tell you that I had no idea how important it is to name your car, trailer, motorcycle....anything that is motorized.  So it goes that Tiny and Lucille came to be. 

Tiny is our Dodge Ram 1 ton dualie.  Tiny was the truck that pulled the Coney Mobile for 3 1/2 years and is a work horse. She is also Dave's first truck.  Long story short, when we sold the Coney trailer, we kept the truck.  Now Tiny pulls our travel trailer.

Lucille is our travel trailer.  She is named in honor of Lucille Ball.  Lucy and Desi did a film titled "The Long, Long Trailer" back in the 60's (or maybe it was 50's).  Dave found the movie on one of the vintage trailer websites. Of course he had to order it and we watched it as soon as it arrived.  It is about the misadventures of Lucy and Desi as a newly wed couple, pulling their 40' (yes 40') trailer to Colorado.  The car they used was definitely smaller than Tiny, but hey it was a movie. 

Here is Tiny and Lucille on our first camping trip of the year over Memorial Day Weekend.  Now you know who are Tiny and Lucille.
