I have been towing for two years now after moving over from tents and the one thing that strikes me as strange is we are all very friendly on site and happy to chat and help our fellow car caravaners be it setting up awnings or emergency repairs or just passing the day away chatting, But when it comes to driving down the road passing each other nothing. I run as one of my vehicals an old land rover defender and when Landrovers pass drivers give a wave whether you know them or not. I have experienced this over 200 miles from home. So why do we not give a friendly wave as we pass we are after all sharing an important thing we are on holiday and we are probably some of the nicest people you will find. I am going to wave at every van that passes me on the road this year when I am towing (you never know I might start a craze).

Give a wave it is free and makes everyone feel good.

Oxter yeh I have waved on the smaller roads also and yip lots of strange looks (keep driving dear don't look at the strange man ) good on you thats two of us

Lion yes I had an old skoda Estel and we all waved at each other I know beetle owners used to do the same.

Michael bring back the good old CBs (now I am showing my age) we still use them in the off road fraternity they are still as handy as ever.

Give a wave as you go by it is free and makes everyone feel good.

Fee Fi Fo know what you mean but give it a try if they don't wave back well their loss  and if they think your mad well your in good company  I know what you mean about folk sitting watching TV in the evening I have read a few things about it saying it is killing off the social side of caravan sites but as you say everyone is perfectly entitled to spend their time as they like and we do have one but only for rainy evenings when it's dark. The wife and I always take a walk around the site we are staying of an evening at and generally get a hello from most fellow caravanners.

And special  to young master Fee Fi Fo for being the most active and junior member of the give a wave club

As a one time Citroen 2CV owner (who always waved) I like the idea.

It's difficult to get it going and I do wave on small roads - sometimes to strange stares.

Brit drivers often wave abroad and of course Brit caravanners do also.

Ok, I will try here more often.
