A Friendly Wave

 No.

There are so many motorhomes on the road now that one manufacturer has produced a “dummy waver”. A sort of automated hand mounted on the passenger side of the windscreen that can recognise another motorhome and activate a “wave”. It runs on 4 AA batteries.

Does it wave at Tesco vans?

 ........and I've waved at Carrefour vans and a few Horse boxes.

Better safe than sorry for the first wave, and acknowledgement, of the day.

One of my favourite pranks is to try to induce my wife to wave at Tesco Vans (other brands are available) also prison vans. She is getting wise to it now though. 

We rather think that Hymers don't wave since we got  our "humble" van conversion (we used to have a Hymer) but probably waving is less common, perhaps a tradition that is dying out with the older  Motor-Caravanners.

Oh and Motor-Caravan is both cumbersome and perhaps a bit misleading but it is a legal definition so in anything official we are stuck with it.

I much prefer "camping car" which is what they are called in French. 

yes, we are 'Campingcaristes' when in France but we do refer to our MH as 'the van'....certainly not 'motor caravan' despite the V5C definition.

i do wave from time to time, some respond, some don't....perhaps they don't like us..

There’s definitely a distinct camaraderie amongst the AS monocoque owning fraternity. Rare not to get some sort of acknowledgement if it’s safe to do so. The discreet finger lift, the reciprocal smiles, the cheery wave, the enthusiastic double seat bounce both hands wafting passenger. You become good friends if you park up next to one! 😁 A full look around is required, then asking about who did the upholstery re-cover........😂

Similar, perhaps because we had a caravan but to us it is the van. Not Motorhome or Motor Caravan. 

I wave if I remember. To start with I wondered why everyone was waving at me.😂

We wave and makes us feel warm, no harm being done, just a polite nod to fellows on the road, oh and my OH has waved at the Sainsburys man, funny no wave back, just a red face sitting next to me !!!

I found this HG, take it. . .It’s yours👍🏻-
