Campsite parking in Europe

[Hymerboy]

we are currently in Spain and am wondering if there’s an etiquette issue when it comes to parking on a site. Our habitation door is on the nearside so if I park nose out like my European neighbour our doors face each other, my wife thinks that we should turn the other way round as she feels that the neighbours are not happy, anyone else come across this? I’ve pointed out to her that some uk vans have the door on the offside so surely it doesn’t matter which way you park and if they don’t like it . Tough. ?

One of the most enjoyable stays we have had, was at the Stellplatz in Uberlingen. A German van parked with it's door facing ours and we quickly made friends with the inhabitants.
If your doors are facing each other, it makes it very difficult not to be sociable with people.

far comment but not everybody like's everybody that's what we find no matter what country you are in

the problem being is when people park up & set there table & chairs out ( if allowed ) it gives you a bit of privacy to eat but if you have door to door you loose that plus if you both are sharing the same space ( its then cut in half ) that's not good ether but ok if you are with friends though

first of all we was there m/h's parking next to us then moving off to park further up or in the last case in merilmont we parked up next to a France m/h then they came back packed up & move around the corner & set up again we have seen this many time on our travels that's how we could possibly know obviously you haven't been m/hing as long as us looking at your exp date

Experience doesn’t make you telepathic!

However, since you think we’re inexperienced I would add that we travel approximately 10,000 miles a year and so far have visited 12 countries. We’ve never had people move away from us.

i noticed that you have a European m/h with the door on the other side to English m/h's that's why people don't move away when in Europe

And i thought it was bad having to adhere to some uk sites regulations on parking up to pegs and so many inches from the grass etc etc
