I used to have a small caravan and on one site which appeared flat I unhitched but neglected to set the handbrake while I parked my car. Fortunately before I got into my car I heard laughter from some people sitting outside a caravan opposite and then, out of the corner of my eye, saw my caravan starting to roll away. I was able to grab it and apply the handbrake but there were no shouts of warning from the amused group or any sign that they were running across to help. They just seemed to be enjoying the spectacle and the possible devastating outcome.

So it's not the mentality of caravanners specifically but the mentality of some people in general.

Bob,
That is really sad to hear ,anyone who can enjoy other peoples misfortunes like that are beyond contempt.
I do look at other people setting up, but only to see if they need help.
My wife always tells me not to look but I do it for the right intentions.
Thankfully
most campers I have met ,whatever the mode are nice people.
In all walks of life you will always get the exceptions.
Regards,
Greg
