Lol I must admit I've heard that said before  - all the same I can't really say I've found it to be true either !  Though if I'm honest I supposeas a rule we tend to have more in common with tent people than caravan people....

Thankfully in my experience most people are at least not so ill-mannered as to ignore a smile or a hello / good morning /  whatever,  and plenty are  friendly &  actually like a natter sometimes.   But that applies to caravanners as well tenters.   

I think some people are just antisocial, not just on sites, you get people in cars not thanking you for letting them through or in shops when you stand aside & people walk past & ignore you & I presume it's the same folk who dont say hello on the site.

Nice to know if it was me you're behind you'd be very patient

I'm going to have my new hearing aids adjusted this week, I'll ask if they can add a stealth car mode.

John, have you found that tenters don't acknowledge you now that you have a van?  We changed from a fc to a caravan this year as we needed to use a seasonal pitch.  I have found that, on the same site, we seem to have suddenly become invisible to those in tents!!  It's nothing to do with the value of the unit as we have a 13 year old van which is worth less than the fc we sold.

But maybe you do all need to consider, as a previous poster said, that some people may have an "invisible" disability.  My husband is profoundly deaf and, although he is a really friendly type, often doesn't know people are speaking to him unless they are directly in his line of vision
