What is it with motorhomers staring at other motorhomers. It doesn't matter which country you're in everybody seems to do it. I get that you're wishing the other rig to make a mess if setting up their pitch but why turn your deck chairs to gawp - it's quite rude you know.

Where are you?

I will come and have a look (y)

In my experience gawping is even more enjoyable when husband and wife setting up are having a ruck.

There'd be nowt worth watching coz my pitching is always perfect, I just find it a very strange thing for anybody to get enjoyment through trying to intimidate
other people.
 
As a 18-21 year old kid I did a few European tours with friends in an ancient 1970s brown frame tent. We treated it like a motorhome, usually 1 or 2 nights in any location. After a bit of practice, we could get this monstrosity pitched, complete with 3 bedroom pods, lounge and kitchen in 90 seconds. Plenty of people would watch and we didn't mind. Several times we were spontaneously given ice cold beers as payment for the entertainment. It didn't survive the third trip mind. Ended up in a skip in Maastricht.

I think maybe she needs to chill out?

We have made some horrendous errors setting up but can always laugh about it later.

As your setting up is always perfect I don’t know what you/she is worried about.

You can’t change human nature.

I'm brave enough to ask people to stop staring on here but not brave enough to ask her to chill out. I'll compromise and just stare back for a while nowadays

We had one of those huge bungalow canvas tents for a while. We used it beside our PVC on long summer meets as our "entertaining space". Imagine between 20 and 30 people sat at tables eating a chinese takeaway or fish n chips. A whole gang of us would meet up from all over the UK at burton bradstock, near bridport in dorset every summer for years. Loddon DA ran a THS twice every year at a small farm next to a commercial site. It was always very busy and was great fun. A big fenced field with plenty of space for all the kids to play, plus a gate leading to a private beach for fishing

But some of the best fun was Friday nights watching the weekend campers rushing to put up awnings etc. If they were getting in a proper mess or the wind picked up, we would all go over and help out.
 
Used to be the best entertainment of a sailing holiday ... watching newbies mooring their sailing boats reversing "stern to" up to the jetties having dropped the anchor off the bow in the harbour !!
BUT Frightening when doing it yourself though for fear of messing up & ripping everyone else anchors out :rolleyes::eek::ROFLMAO:

And with motorboats.

I did a James Bond once pulling into a berth and pushed the throttle forwards instead of backwards and the bow went up over the jetty before I expertly reversed :giggle:

I sold it shortly afterwards

Yeah. Technically it was 4 man tent. With the pods out, it would easily sleep (or eat) 30. Even the pods would sleep 7 without having to be intimate.
