Acquired MH in January this year. Plan is for Mr & Mrs Pogle to use it to de-stress from our jobs. Have used it twice so far. Excellent fun and certainly very effective de-stress.
In years past, lack of money necessitated spending holidays under canvas with young children. In those days the children were warned to give the caravans and motorhomes a wide berth in case some old grump started shooting at them. Now that I don’t need so much money, because the children look after themselves, I seem to have sufficient. So I have acquired a second hand MH, and I can park it on the dark side of the camping sites amongst all the white boxes; complete with bed, fridge and wardrobe. Unbelievable luxury.
Experience so far (although sample size not yet statistically significant) is that most motorhomers and caravanners are very friendly and don't actually carry guns. But I do observe that they are also mostly bonkers.
(I appreciate that this is a very dangerous opening gambit for a newbie, but it is tongue-in-cheek, so please bear with me
)
The bonkers aspect is an unexpected bonus because I did not expect to experience the great pleasure of people-watching whilst sipping my bilberry wine. All that said, I am aware of the possibility (however remote) that perhaps everybody else is normal and it is the Pogles that are bonkers.
This is the reason for joining the forum. I would like to draw on the experiences and knowledge of the other members in order to explore the odd rituals observed, get to grips with the etiquette and to calibrate my sanity.

should get there in the next couple of days. Hope weather is as good on IOW as it is here (not that we want to make anyone jellyass of course)
