Well that was entertaining !!!

[OutTheOffice]

So we are sitting here on a lovely old fashioned and somewhat tight access Spanish camping site, each pitch surrounded by trees enjoying an evening beer.

In comes a German van a huge Neismann and Biscoff motorhome more akin to a bus or gin place on wheels. I say to the good lady, wife, this is going to be entertaining, lets get the pop corn out, that will not fit on these pitches. But the driver is not deterred and heads for the sea view pitches, which I would not have attempted to put our panel van on !!!

All eyes are on our German friend, who swings into the pitch, and in doing so seem blissfully unaware of the overhanging tree branch which is ripping the side of the roof off. Open mouthed we watched them eventually stop, reverse, rip a bit more off, park the van up and get the drinks out without a care in the world.

I reckon at least £5k worth of damage -- if not more, its going to need a new roof. Just think, Im miffed because my sun awning leg has snapped off.

Do some prople have so much money they just dont care?????

[Lenny HB]

Probably realised what he had done and was so embarrassed couldn't bare to look at it until after a stiff drink.

Is it hired I wonder

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Probably a mates van ,not his.

 

[Bobby-gg]

Is it hired I wonder

Exactly what I was thinking - have a wander around the back and look for stickers whilst you're taking pictures of the damage for us

 

[PP Bear]

 

[Snoopy]

If it's hired there goes the deposit, yes I agree with LennyHB, bet he just too embarrassed.

I wonder if it is hired, not sure I can go up to the side of the van to photograph the huge gash down the roof, but this is the rear of his van, from ours. I reckon he will hit it again getting it out ........

 

[PP Bear]

Get in stealth mode and get clicking

 

[PP Bear]

Whatever you do, DO NOT SAY that you’re there to photograph his gash

 

[OutTheOffice]

Get in stealth mode and get clicking

You want to get me into a row !!!!!!!

 

[OutTheOffice]

Whatever you do, DO NOT SAY that you’re there to photograph his gash

To be fair it was his wife who was driving !!!!!!!

Just a few examples of a disguise you can use….

 

[PP Bear]

To be fair it was his wife who was driving !!!!!!!

That’s even worse, don’t mention her gash….or the war!!!

 

[PP Bear]

 

[OutTheOffice]

That’s even worse, don’t mention her gash….or the war!!!

Helpful advice cheers !!!!!!! No disguise at the moment is going to cover up that I look like a brit abroad, bright red with sunburn, and a beer in one hand !!!!!

 

[PP Bear]

Pop on some socks and sandals, he’ll think you’re a fellow German. Have you got any leather shorts, as that’ll really fool em. Talk loudly and slap your thighs a lot.

Earlier on this trip we saw a 2015 Carthago motorhome rip most of the rear panel off , she had reversed so far back on the Aire and hadn’t bothered to look what the ground did.
Caught the rear bumper on a grass hump and as she moved forward and the back was hooked.
I went to see if she wanted any duct tape but said she’d done it before and had tape, which was obvious when I looked at the back, loads of old duct tape sticky on the bumper.

 

[Swifter]

You need something inconspicuous. This should help you blend in .

 

[OutTheOffice]

You guys have got a great sense of humour, maybe the lederhosen approach is the way forward, will look a little out of pace in Spain though???

Budgie smugglers, flip flops and a towel over the arm‍♂??

Come on get that camera clicking

 

[chaser]

Once parked up in holmfirth ,Julie directing me back, come on, come on, van won't move .
Only into a tree with the roof she was only looking at the ground
Just a dent in the roof though , no great panic.

Also had a tree jump out at me on the blaye Aire , matching dent in the front.

 

[chaser]

Might add these were in our excursion into dear motorhomes, felt a bit sad at the time but since we have gone into cheapo ambulance where we don't care, had no such experience.

 

[PP Bear]

Do the Dam Busters thing with a sun bed, right by the wife’s gash, or gash caused by the wife….

........Just think, Im miffed because my sun awning leg has snapped off.

Auch you lot leave the OP alone!
