Heavy Duty Tape - A 'must have' for any Naff MoHo Driver

[Blue Knight]

I saw this little beauty parked up in Tesco yesterday so I couldn't help but take a few pics of its taped-up wounds. The van was on a 64-plate so not exactly old.

Is this a sign of naff driving or just damn good adventurous moho fun?

The pics below only depict the left side of the van but when driving off we noted from a distance that the wheel arch on the right side was smashed and hanging off too - at least the owner has no bias as to which side of the van he/she hits

To be fair to the owner it appears that he couldn't see where he was reversing as the rear reversing camera had been knocked off yonks ago and only a small piece of rusted bracket remained.

Cheers,

Andrew

Pic-1: Taped-up overcab (nice colours BTW), with a wing mirror that looks as it it's had more than one major battle:

Pic-2: The wing mirror up close - wow!!

Pic-3: The taped-up section under the left hab window:

Pic-4: A creased front hab section (the bit which adjoins the cab):

Pic-5: Upper rear cracked hab area:

Pic-6: Taped-up rear lower bumper and hab panels (the whole rear of the van was taped-up too but I failed to get a shot:

I would not be parking anywhere near, or is that the ploy

Travel Trolls van ? That Dan bloke seemed to always be bodgeing a repair on the motorhome .

That's good thinking - I would avoid parking next to them at all cost

Must cost a fortune in tape - every panel, corner and side was taped.

And when it's next on a forecourt somewhere, it will be a credit to its' one careful owner.

It looks like a Hobby GE65 Premium ( not as they come out of the factory!)

Would that be classed as a "Distressed" Motorhome is a trendy fashion magazine ?

If the driver did all that damage he/she ought to have their licence revoked.

Come on what funster owns that wreck?

……and its 23 not-so-careful owners!

Army tape was super sticky shiny black thin canvas, about 4 inches wide. You could repair armour plating with it! So effective was it that a man on our camp rolled his orange coloured Bond Bug, and almost split it in half. He taped it together with this stuff, and it looked like a giant bumble bee! It was so striking that he left it like that for the duration...

It takes Shaby Sheek to an all new level.

I don’t feel too bad about the white gaffer tape hiding the crack in lower edge of our rear bumper. I carry two colours of gaffer tape to cover most oops.
I remember jungle tape we had in the army. As said it was good stuff used for meany bodges.
