Hi both, yes the parking of motorhomes is annoying when you have reversed into a pitch and the van next to you parks forward and their door is facing your ,it has happened to us in the past and it wasn't with a continental van. We love waving to other motorhomes, tried waving to caravans but they ignore you ha ha , Great video x Julie and Tony x
Not sure it was burnt animal, too smoky to tell! Not our worst experience either but we didn't film the worst which was at Centenary, could not have seen it anyway due to the smoke.
I get what you’re saying about trying to keep the habitation doors on the opposite side but if there’s a sea or loch view then most vans will want to drive in so as to have the view and if that means the habitation doors are facing each other we would certainly not be annoyed at the new arrival. Just a point. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Habitation door etiquette and being pedantic about pitch boundaries feel like the same issue to me. Its a campsite - i have no expectation of privacy outside of my van. Worrying about such things detracts from the joy of just being away in the van and not at work! I do wave occasionally, however.
There is a basic etiquette to motorhomes, but the rules are always broken. A whole bunch of people with various expectations are thrown together in a glorified field & expected to get along. They don't. No one's "ideal" is the same & that's why site rules have to exist. If I owned a site; my rules would be simple. ENJOY YOURSELVES & DON'T FALL OUT. At the end of the day; everyone wants a good time. Now stop your bloody dog barking, your kids screaming, turn your music down, peg out your awning correctly, tidy up & p*ss off.

We also often do it when we are in the car and forget we don't have the van, lot's of confused people saying "who was that?"
I did wonder if someone would mention smoke? Some seem to think everyone enjoys their burnt animal smoke!

Yes get that, but then we will all be looking at the view! Thanks for watching.
Love the head banging.😂
They call it execise!
Our last van had the habitation door at the back, a couple of times we had wardens quite confused about how we should pitch. 😂

Glad to hear you wave. Motorhome parking is a matter of courtesy and common sense, but you are right better than work!
Cracking set
Just watching yours right now!
We couldn't agree more about taking chairs when you visit others.
..and don't forget the wine!
