Just settling down for the night. Door open listen to the waves really nice day and then ..

Spanish MH turns up and first thing he does is puts his generator on. What a bloody racket

So we have had to move. When I queried the noise he just shrugged his shoulders and got back in his MH. He must have a very thick skin he is next to 4 other MHs.

Update ..

Next to 3 other MHs one just left. Looks like he is going to have pole position tomorrow

You should have gone to Cleethorpes.
I can guarantee, 100%, that you'll not meet a Spanish motorhomer there.
 
What you need to do is pick it up still running and put it in his van and close the door. Well thats what I did to a frog last year in Portugal there was plenty of space he got told off further away then came down to where we where and put it going again

So there is a place called Cleethorpes. Nabsim said he was there last week. I thought he was trying to avoid me, by making up a name. just goes to show.

Oh! Yes he was avoiding me.
 
We were in Cleethorpes in July, lovely spot overlooking the beach.

We arrived at Praa Sands a few weeks ago, a MH was set up, and had a Genny going, but not outside his own van, but it was tied to a post further down the front with a long lead back to his own van, to where he was parked, so that he couldn’t hear it. Meantime other MH’s turned up and had to park right next to the Genny.
Inconsiderate Bast@rd:mad1:
Luckily for us, we managed to park the other side of said van where we were’nt down wind.
But, as the British do, moaned, but no one went to question the chap or ask him to move it.
 
The worst I've ever had was at a motorcycle track meet a guy turned up with a box trailer and bolted on the 'A' frame was an old version of this (not silent) :(

He parked up next to me and started it up, I could feel my van was actually vibrating, let alone the noise! He had welded up an exhaust stack on it,like a truck. God knows what it was like for them with it vibrating though their van. After about 20 mins I was about to complain and he turned it off and set a little suitcase genny and put it right next to me!. I complained straight away and asked him to move it to the other side of his van,he reluctantly did.

I've got a 2K suitcase genny but only run it for a few mins if I need to use the microwave, I can't stand the noise (but like quick food sometimes)

So if I've read this thread correctly you don't like Spanish motorhomes? ;)

Apologies to the Spanish ..

Woke up this morning and it’s A German MH. He has the generator plugged into the power socket on MH. They were all walking round with head torches on last night. Two of us were parked sideways onto the beach so he squeezed between us and then the racket started. We both finished up moving.

Don’t like any MH that’s got a generator connected to it.

We had a guy next to us in Weymouth who ran his MH engine for a couple of hours while they watched Tv in the evening. Not just on tickover so he must have put something on the accelerator pedal.

So I don’t like people who make a noise either especially if it’s next to me.
 
I don't need one, but I am very tempted to get a generator.

I would run it to drown out barking dogs, noisy kids and loud music & TVs.

Or are those things perfectly acceptable? (And if not, how do you generator-haters deal with them? Expanding foam? Sugar, shotguns?)

Sie werden uns zuerst finden müssen :banana:
 
The best thing i seen done once was a rubber bung with a hole drilled in it and a whistle fitted in the bung,it was then stuffed into an exhaust tail pipe,what a whaling racket when the chap started his car,served him right for blocking a turning circle.
