Ever noticed how the people who will happily wave to you on the road, often refuse to pass the time of day with you on site?

Any psychologists out there wish to explain this bizarre phenomenon?

I'm just grumpy and anti-social, I wave to anyone going the opposite way

Hi all
just come back from Scarborough so i thought an update might be in order re waving, of fifteen motorhomes of various classes waved at by myself and my other half, only four waved back, I give up
ps we did have a great time at the C&CC site at Scalby Mills and they do great fish & chips on site

This is my first post, so hello everyone!

I'm a relative newcomer, having bought my first van - a Romahome - in March. I just found out recenty that the 'unwritten rule' is that you wave to other motorhomers, not just those in Romahomes! Maybe there are others out there who don't know this either?

I'll be sure to wave to all vans from now on, even though the Romahome's so small that sometimes people don't notice it's a motorhome until we've passed!

Hi

Just back from Ravenglass  Cumbria C & C club site. Brill 5days a well deserved wind down.

on my start out I was very enthusastic when waving I started by using my right hand and then quickly reliased that this may not be seen by others on the motorway so swapped hands and got a better response. Even flashes off some white vans. yes i have had my glasses changed but I just got carried away. Even when there was no response I just cursed to myself and waited for the next m/h to pop up..

But sorry to say on my way back this afternoon the motorway traffic was a little fierce so pleas accept my sorry for not waving---- but actually no one waved to me.

Next time out I will be waving
