PVC Downsizing Disappointment

[donnkim]

Nobody waves at us now!

 

[Manxcat]

We wave at all types of motorhome/campervan

 

[pappajohn]

Flash your lights then wave at them.

 

[Coolcats]

Nobody waves at us now!

We would wave at you, you must have heard it not size that counts but what you do with it. Happy Travels

 

[Two on Tour]

Sounds like you maybe do not now conform to the new DVLA definition of a camper van that's just been issued.

What about all the Tesco delivery Vans I accidentally wave at? ?

I would wave at you if you were in PVC and waving at me ……….

 

[The Dudess]

Had a very snobby friend who had a Hymer and stated he only waved at 'A' class vans ................................ he's now got a PVC!! Had to laugh.

 

[Janine]

I wave at everyone including horse boxes and prison vans ?

We wave at PVCs but they generally ignore us

Nobody waves at us now!

Wave at them with two fingers,,bet that gets a response..? BUSBY.

 

[AnnK]

We recently hired a motorhome in New Zealand and was very happy that the waving tradition is strong over there too

 

[donnkim]

OK. We are going to keep on waving and not allow ourselves to get despondent when our wave is not reciprocated.

Nobody waves at us now!

I know, it's fantatsic. (Much safer too as you don't ever have to take your hands off the wheel).

I wave at everyone.. be it a PVC, horse box, builders van or 18 seater coach !

 

[nicholsong]

I do not wave but OH does a wave back.

As I cannot see anyone under the huge blisters on some older 'C' Class it all seems a bit pointless to try. Anyway even at closing speeds of 160kph it is not practical.

I never waved to other pilots above or below me on airways at approaching speeds of 1,000kts. 'Hello, whoosh, bye - what was your name?'

Hi.
Sorry,not one for waving,it comes from not being spoken to on Aires/sites etc,when parked up...... We had more people strike up a conversation when we imported a UK. PVC we had to Porty land and had Porty plates on it, hearing us speaking English,semed to spark up a natter and we could be yarning away for ages. "Now't so queer as folk " .

We find the same. Somehow the friendly motorhome friendship we once enjoyed on the road has taken a few steps backwards over the past few years but so good to see the many rallies and meet ups organised by motorhome owners posted on here.

 

[Dorwyn]

You'll be lucky if anyone talks to you on site too, you're now one of the hated 'whoosh bang' brigade. I've been cold shouldered in the past by snobs. Wasn't BO, either.

 

[Stumpie]

Since we bought our PVC in July, we too have noticed the lack of wavers and yet we wave .It is sometimes that dilemma that happens as they come towards you ,is it a PVC, or is it a work van, is it a horsebox, is it a delivery man? ?
The added bonus though now though?Does that mean we are stealthier for wild camping now as no longer white but gold. ????

 

[Beemobile]

The wave is quite a tradition but as I have found very often, its a pity that once on a site motorhome neighbours can ignore your very existence, until that is, out comes your dog and makes friends with their dog, and that starts a whole new ball game. So keep waving.

 

[Otter Spotter]

I wave but it’s rare to get a response, except had a couple of builders wave then through their McDonalds waste out as they drove past.
my bad, should have realised all the dashboard rubbish wasn’t furry toys

Oh yes they do, almost every ambulance we see even those running under blues and twos wave. On a recent trip to Anglesey that was about 5 of them in one hour alone!

 

[cruiser]

I will wave at just about anything. that way I do not miss anyone

Get the impression from your quotes that you were a frequent flyer

They feel safe when on the move

Yes. Lots of waves in NZ. Hope you enjoyed our country
