Waving! (1 Viewer)

[Paul Wilkins]

Greetings all.

I've just become a motorhome owner, picked up the MH on Friday, been away over the weekend, MH is back in the shop having the missing bits fitted and the broken things repaired..<sigh>. I shouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, what I have discovered is that owning a MH is far easier than owning a caravan. No more mucking about trying to reverse the damn thing or setting this and that up. Looking forward to just getting on the road and seeing more places.

Oh, and I'm not sure about all these people waving at me on the road..

 

[Two on Tour]

Friendly lot us, and welcome on-board.

Waving is par for the course..... My thoughts are it goes back to the days of VW camper commaradery .
Today, some wave some don't.... Polite to wave back or, unknowingly, you will be called a miserable

Before long you will be waving at Ocado Vans, ice cream vans and waving at Mohos when you are in your car. Welcome on board!

 

[Nirvanauk]

I don’t wave as I feel that if you’ve time to wave then you ain’t concentrating on the road enough and you are therefore a danger! However I have a PVC so no one recognises me and if anyone does wave and am distracted enough to see them then I try and wave.

Do Ford owners wave to Ford owners?

 

[Shrimp]

I’ve waved at flashy French horse boxes before now!

Waving is really the job of the front seat passenger, along with feeding the driver sweets at the start of each new tune on the radio, resetting the Sat Nav, searching internet and Britstops for appropriate places to aim for, phoning through reservations and crotcheting poppies

Wow your husband can crochet !!

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

Wow your husband can crochet !!

If I was looking for a husband, the ability to crochet would be high on my list of requirements, along with cooking, knitting, gardening, decorating etc. But I don’t think my wife would be happy if I started looking for a husband.

Hello and welcome from West Midlands.

Most of us wave, as it's a friendly world of Funsters we live in; however never on a motorway or dual carriageway, as just too far away, although I've seen some trying

And fetching cold beer from the fridge

Our lass is very good and puts them little foam can holders on to keep it cold

[LAM]

I wave at pretty much everything

 

[Ingwe]

When we went to France the first time we were amazed at how many 'waves' we received from the French who looked less than friendly. Then the navigator pointed out the strange wave which consisted of the thumb and index finger forming an '0' and moving the hand back and forward a few times.
Weird les Francais

Eer !! If you have seen some trying then it obviously works and you could have waved back.

In a LHD vehicle, the passenger can properly reply to the Froggy welcome, by sticking one's arse out of the window

They may take it as a culinary opportunity!

Used to, but gave up as I had a 99% failure rate

All of them ?

It seems like it on some Aires and sites sometimes.....

... and they probably won't want to talk.

 

[Pat and Poppy]

Welcome Paul.

You'll find that if you bought a motorhome you would be waved at and waving

Oh and

Not sure if I understand. Are you saying that a PVC is not a MH. Mine is and it’s haRVey. My son named it RV cos he said it is so the name stays.
Also welcome to the fun? I’ve been around for years.

[Mr Chrysalis]

Well, I’m wearing my Funsters badge and waving in the style that @jollyrodger suggested, but so far no one here has waved back
