I am a caravanner but also a motorcyclist. I don't wave when towing (never thought about doing it really) but 'nod' most of the time whilst riding my bike when seeing another biker. Bikers tend to stop and assist other bikers (I would) if they need assistance, but I have never seen caravanners stopping to assist other caravanners!!
If they did they probably woudl cause traffic chaos with two rigs stretched out along the road!  17

I dont think you can compare bikers assisting each other, with caravanners. Pulling over to assist while towing could be far to dangerous on most roads, even if you felt like you would like to help.

We always wave at other motorhomers ( I can as my husband is driving, he will if it is safe to do so) and receive a wave back 9/10.

When we had a caravan, two years ago now, a lot of people used to wave -  this always brought a smile to our faces.

I also noticed in France more motorhomers not from the UK are waving and it's unusual if you don't get a wave and a smile from other UK drivers in our experience.

Also bikers in France kick their foot out to say "Thank you" when you let them into a space, I didn't realise what they were doing at first, thought they were trying to kick the vehicle - until my husband explained17

Kind regards,

 

Janice.
