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
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 lizziehill
welcome to the site, have fun in your romahome you certainly have plenty of places to see in your part of the world look out for a vw Autosleeper trophy next year well be up your way again, just wave to all you see
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.
im sure many years ago people with caravans waved,then last year me and the wife got our 1st caravan but i was shocked to find caravanners no longer wave to each other
------------- please dont think im mad,im just different
We have just purchased an 1980 T25. Drove back from Birmingham down to Salisbury and not one motorhome waved to us!?! I waved to them, but they just looked straight through me, but when i came towards any aircooled dubs, they were flashing lights, waving, I even had artic's flashig!
