Is there a Caste system regarding waving

[NigelNovice]

I'm as friendly as they come and will wave at any Motor Homer I see but it seems we are not allowed to mix classes, I wave at PVC, platform Cab based (like me) and A class but never to get a wave off a PVC and rarely off an A class, I have my Funsters stickers front and back hoping to catch fellow funsters, it's strange because we all seem to muck in on here with tips etc. asking for a friend

Ours is a class and we always wave unless I’m on my mobile but PVC occupants never wave .

 

[Tonks]

I don't think I've ever been waved at by a motorhome/coachbuild van. Most PVCs don't seem to wave at us small VeeDubs either. I don't tend to wave at them either, as a result. I DO wave at VeeDubs, but even then not all the time. Sometimes I don't register I've seen one until too late, or I'm concentrating on a junction etc. And I sometimes don't know if an approaching Crafter is a camper conversion or a works van.
On the other hand I've accidentally waved at delivery trucks, and even an ambulance. Oops.

 

[chaser]

Ours is an ex ambulance and no-one waves at us

Given the finger for not waving !

Nope no mistaking the gesture a stiffly extended digit, just thought it rude and unnecessary Maybe he only has one finger on his hand so is often misunderstood.

Not true, we do, it’s DPD drivers that you are mixing up with

Because the PVC looks so much like a plumber's van, most don't recognise it as a motorhome. So we soon stopped expecting people to wave and got out of the habit ourselves.

In our last A class we always waved, but may not always have been seen as sitting a long way back from the windscreen. In our present low profile SWMBO still waves at recognisable motorhomes, however a lot of PVCs are not easily recognised.

Get plenty of waves when in the LR S11A because it's an appreciated historic vehicle. Every second vehicle appears to be a Motorhome of some sort so waving would get a bit tiresome I would assume!

 

[Puddleduck]

I wave at everyone - including buses, horse boxes and delivery vans.

If you waved at vans along the Mosel you would never hold the steering wheel.

Sorry but don’t expect a wave from me ‘cos I’m a miserable bar steward that’s waved to too many Asda/Tesco/horsbox vans.

 

[Mikeco]

I don’t bother waving but I usually do a sort of wave by sticking one finger up if I see anything larger than my 6m pvc.

 

[Madcaravanner]

We have just driven home from Wales
only 118 miles but I decided to wave at every van

We got returning waves from every Coachbuilt bar 1 - - -out of 8 A class only 2 didn't wave
AND
Zero PVC returned the wave didn't see any T5's etc unfortunately

 

[davidbaldam]

I wave all the time but never worry if I don’t get one back. That not why I wave

Done the horse boxes a few times but then years ago we had one thanks to a horse mad daughter who can now pay her own way - almost

When we had our coachbuilt, we waved at other MHs and PVCs, and got plenty in return. Now that we are whoosh-bangers, nobody waves at us.

 

[Wildbill]

We had loads ignore us on our recent journey's
But it don't bother us

Don’t worry about it Nigel.

I have an A Class, he has a coach built. I look down on him. (Cleese & 2 Ronnies)

Same here!!

 

[sciac2001]

I have noticed that since changing to a pvc we are never waved at unless I wave first and from a clear view distance away.

Of course, the fact that my dark blue pvc resembles a Group4 van in the UK or a Gendamerie vehicle doesn’t help!

 

[JJ]

I always acknowledge on coming motorhomes in an understated, aristocratic manner, by raising my right hand off the steering wheel, palm outwards.

I don't mind if I don't receive an acknowledgement back.

It just means I am less grumpy than them.
