I lost count of the number of ambulances and BT vans I waved at when we had a motorhome .

Hi we usually find most MH ers wave at us, but last week on the way to Norfolk there did seem to be a lack of wavers LOL.

I have to be honest and say that usually on site we do find most folk friendly etc apart from the odd one...............like the caravanner a few weeks ago on Bainland in Woodhall Spa that firstly watched my Son (who arrived before us) in his caravan they had only just got the caravan and the guy sat merrily watching whilst my Son struggled to put up the awning for the first time. We arrived in our motorhome and my Daughter in Law told us just how un-comfy this man and his Wife had made them feel, I took the dogs a walk and the guy went out of his way to speak to me.................................................wait for it to tell me all the reasons why WE didn't want a motorhome LOL aw well theres nowt so queer as folk.

It makes my OH's day when folks wave. I think its really funny how in two years he's went from an over enthusiastic wave to a really experienced looking  hands just off the steering wheel cool wave.

As for on site, I usually find folk friendly apart from the two "proper little madams" I overheard whilst in the loo having a right old laugh about the silly wee camper parked across from them.

Later on I realised they were parked across from us !! They had a flaming cheek since they were both in rented motorhomes.  I was sorely tempted to go over to them and say, It may be small and old but its bought and paid for not rented !!

Nice one Tiggarsmum,

We have no time for snooty types in any situation. Nor do we give a damn what others have got. If it suites you, then that's all that matters. But with regard to waving on the road & ignoring on site, I can take it one stage further. In the past I've often helped people set-up if it's obvious they are struggling. But on one occasion a camper couldn't get the water to pump through to the taps, nor get the electric on. I must have spent at least an hour checking various things & finally got all services up and running. The result?? we were completely ignored for the rest of their stay & didn't even get a wave when they were leaving. The ignorance of some people is mind boggling.
