Is it customary to give other motorhomers a wave when driving

[Fontie]

Is it customary to give other motorhomers a wave when driving ? In Australia its the done thing to give a little wave as you pass on the road.

I am such a fantastic driver I wave with both hands while steering with my knees, not too enthusiastically though, I wouldn't want to drop my phone and spill my coffee

You snuck in there very quietly. First post and a sense of humour. Love it. Please keep posting. MHF is losing its fun because of the moaners. You and I with an upbeat view of life are in the minority at the moment. Not that I'm moaning about it of course.

Before the days of Del Boy I had a Reliant van, every other reliant owners waved, the really funny thing was that it was yellow! then along came Del boy with his yellow van but by then I'd got a white one, then I passed my test and moved on, thankfully.

We have a PVC with major amounts of Globecar decal stickers - no fun sticker though... must get a round two it.
It’s easy to wave at delivery vans - sometimes even they wave back, looking a little bemused ?

I'll wave, I raise a hand at every motorhome & PVC I pass.

I'm new to motorhoming. I wave most of the time (MH and PVC but not caravans) and get about 50% returned waves. I cheer if I get a return and shout "double bubble" if both the driver and the passenger wave back.
I have failed to return the odd wave - this is usually because I am clinging on for dear life at that particular moment or mid swear.
If I don't get a wave back that's fine I assume its because the driver is in similar position or mid discussion with the navigator about the previous missed turning.

Us too, all of that except the "double bubble" bit

I do that half wave by raising my hand keeping the thumb hooked around the steering wheel, unless the other side are waving very enthusiastically then I join in.

I think after a few years it might get tiresome, but for now it feels great.

They're just jealous, don't take any notice

 

[Beemobile]

I wave to all motorhomes and PVCs. Especially Brits.

 

[andyelbac]

We wave but not at PVCs as we can't tell they're not delivery vans till they're past.

Ouch!

 

[bigalw35]

I wave when I feel like it as not many wave back
