And the winner of the name S.A.M. contest is...

Nick!! He left a comment on this post and we knew right away that was it. Oh...and the name, by the way:

Self Assembled Madness

Brilliant.

Not that there actually was a contest though. So, Nick, sorry, but we have nothing to offer you as a prize except our gratitude and your knowing that you've contributed a large part to our future travels with S.A.M.

We've always thought it would be something-something-mobile...maybe something-Australia-Mobile. But this just captures the essence of the van and everything that we're pouring into it. Because, really, it is Madness. The van is madness, the money and time we're putting into it is madness, the design, sleeping in a tent on the roof...MADNESS.

So, thanks Nick. We wish we'd thought of something ourselves, but this is too good to pass up, so the egos must take a backseat.

Woot - I am honoured to have helped you name your van! Now a little piece of me will be travelling with you, wherever you go. Not in a weird way, mind - sleeping on a roof is already strange enough.

I feel like I should be breaking a bottle of champagne over something. Perhaps the next taxi I take. (I'll explain why I'm doing it; I'm sure the driver will understand!)

Good luck!

Have enjoyed this saga, though reading it late. Safe travels as you make your way back down unda. I am on a mini road trip in Texas right now, might run into Hal and Carrie again. I owe you a couch surf if you guys roll through Kansas City.
