First things first, it’s pronounced “boobeel” not like “bobble”
Bobil
is the Norwegian word for camper. Elin is from Norway and while she has
lived most of her life in America, she is still a proud Norwegian and
still has family and friends there. When we first purchased our camper,
like most people do these days when they have such an event in their
lives, she posted pictures on Facebook to share the happy news with all
of our friends. There were many comments and congratulations and her
former sister-in-law commented in Norwegian that we had gotten a bobil.
As we were kicking around different names for our beautiful new camper
we kept going to back to the comment from Facebook and finally our new
home away from home became The Bobil or just The Bo.
Bo,
in Norwegian means live, which brings a wealth of meaning to our name
choice. We can get pretty philosophical while ruminating around a late
night campfire.
