Tugger watching (2 Viewers)

[Hawkstone]

Not wishing to slate tuggers but I should have got the camera out for this one. Firstly he drove into the campsite far too fast chucking up loads of dust. Then he overshot his pitch entrance so had to reverse back. Promptly drove in too fast again (to the wrong pitch area) and I am now sat here watching him trying to reverse again several times because he has really badly cocked it all up. Now driving back around trying to try again. Bum, he is supposed to be next door to us. Obviously can’t read pitch numbers either. Made for a few minutes of fun.

You've still got the awning erection to come as an encore.

Have to admit it’s one of my (not so) guilty pleasures at a music festival ,takes me about 20 minutes to set up all the festival paraphernalia ,awning ,wind break ,flag pole ,table ,chairs ,BEER ,then sit back and watch people who rarely if ever go onto an uneven ,sloping field try to set up

And us motorhomers have never made an ar*e of ourselves!

We love people watching even more so caravan set-ups.
It seems to take all day to site van & set up awning/s wind breaks, tables, more chairs than needed, sunshades etc.

We had fun at Canterbury CCC last Monday when a load of French motorhomes arrived , not all at the same time and where each shown where to pitch by wardens.
One was moaning about angle of grass pitch and warden said if you want flat book hard standing, any way French campingcarist shuffling about at speed and not getting anywhere wedged up, putting wedge under back wheel which made it worse.
Then decided to move to a flatter bit and then wedded comes to pitch next Frenchman only to find pitch occupied by mister un level, this happened with several others too.

I like watching the tent campers on the only place we stay that has them {Ile de mille charmes). Modern tents are dead easy to pitch but then there are always arguments about where they've pitched, too close, facing the wind or whatever.

I bet he uses a dugga dugga gun to wind down the legs and to screw all his awning pegs.

We have, went over and off a levelling ramp once…. Had to get underneath and hacksaw it apart

 

[dunnah01]

Not sure I'd want to cast stones in any glass houses just in case....

Are you stalking me after #7

 

[nicholsong]

We do not get this fun since we only wildcamp or use Aires/Stellplatz.

Perhaps as well, since doubling up in laughter might seem insulting.

We watched one tugger arrive. A huge caravan - it may even have been illegally long.

He pulled up. Wife went into the van for something while he uncoupled. The drawbar flew up into the air, she came tumbling out. The removal of her weight sent the front crashing down again. Blazing row.

He then tried to manhandle the caravan onto the pitch. But he didn't seem to be covering the handbrake and very nearly went through the hedge.

Once on his pitch, he clearly had no idea how to level a caravan.

Then they started on the awning. I'd have offered to help, but they both seemed very volatile, so we kept out of the way!

Me and four pals took our two vans to a Blue's festival and Ron had brought along one of those "self erecting" tents that he made big theatre of drawing it out of it's bag and throwing it onto the ground, where it sprung open and just needed pegging down.
Three days later and packing it away reminded us of Kent Walton opining "Best of two falls or a submission !" The tent had him in a half Nelson and possibly a Boston Crab at one point, then the rain started and it was thrown into a van with a " I'll sort it out when I get home !"

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

We certainly have

And so have I.

Why do motorhome passengers also have to get out and flail their arms and shout at the driver when they're reversing into a pitch - never understood that but see it all the time

So they don't get knocked down 'cause the driver is too busy p**ing him/herself laughing at a caravanner putting up their awning?

I've just remembered what an erection is.

Exactly what Rog says to me after a night out.

 

[Hawkstone]

Missed the fun, went out for dinner….came back…awning is up. Gutted.

So the driver doesn’t have to listen to the passenger. Can just park, and ignore.

First for us today. Middle aged Belgium lady pulled up at the emptying point cutting us up to get in front. Not a problem, we have lots of time. Anyway, we then watch her pull a bag out of the locker in it contained a long pair of rubber gauntlets and a pair of welly boots. She proceeded to put them on then emptied her cassette. Once the cassette was emptied she changed back and drove off. Was it radioactive cassette matter She appeared to be alone so it could only be her deposits I assume.
