Why do they do it ?

[DnK]

Belgians I think and seem ok

I had a Belgian do similar to that to me once, the misses gave him the death stare he came over and apologised then promptly moved.

I saw a great tactic recently, put the tv or radio/cd on really loud then lock up and go for a walk for 20 mins. This moved several French who felt they needed close proximity to a Dutch guy.

cannot understand,,,,,if you didnt want another van in front of you...then why did you not park iin that space which the van you are complaining about........or in one of the other 6 spaces which you say are vacant,
looking at the picture....the other van is sideways on to you...so wont be blocking too much sun..

as for not seeing the folk outside of their van..........they may not be feeling too well and prefer to stay indoors. or
they may have taken off early in the day and not returning till later in the evening.....or,,,,,,,the list could go on.......

OK but we were there first and I couldn't be bothered to move and why should I. They left next morning anyway without saying a word to anyone

Probably because their ignorant, self centered and selfish people that dont give a rats ar5e about anyone else's view or space. Unfortunate for us Brits we have consideration for others (for the most part) because we were brought up that way.

So it's only Johnny foreigners that do this ?

Its happened to us too. Once on the outer isles but a quiet chat persuaded them there was actually plenty of space to move to. Then again last week we were set up in a carpark and another van arrived right next to us despite the rest of the place being empty. As it was getting on we hped they would be quiet which they were and in the morning they were gone so no impact. But all the same its wierd. Both lots were Brits. *shrug*

Strange thing happened last night,I turned the lights off and jumped into bed about 1am,a few minutes later the dog went crazy and shot into the cab and wouldn't stop barking no matter how many times I told him to shut it. That's unusual for the dog as he'll usually stop barking,so I got up to investigate,I'm in a large mainly empty carpark and a car had come in and driven right up to my front bumper with his headlights on,so close that I couldn't see his lights over the dash. I went back to bed and heard him drive off about 15 minutes later,don't know what was going on there.

I very often leave places without saying a word to anyone....

I'm not a very social person.... Hence doing my best to be as far from folks as possible.

Several years back at Quarre les Tombes we bedded down like this

Early hours, 2am-ish 2 X Froggies came in and parked that close to the front of us i struggled to get between us to remove the silver screen.

I accidentally on purpose fell on their motorhomes several times whilst trying to remove it, they were not impressed, i didn`t give a fcuk.

No matter where you are I take my time choosing my spot if I can singing 'view preservation society.' Think where the sun is, think where the next pesky neighbours are likely to park as everything can change in 5 mins. Even in bloody Chester every time we park up, next 10 mins a van will turn up next to us - one even right up to our hab door once in a fairly empty car park - asked him to move as he was far too close - thick or what.

Its quite common really people complaining about MHs spoiling the view. Just remember next time on you see No MH parking on a sea front because residents have complained about MHs parking and spoiling their view. How many times on here do you then hear the cry nobody has a right to a view when the signs go up. Its no different. Its very simple if you don't like the situation either say something or move. As far as people not talking, someone has to talk first why must it be them.

Pretty much spot on......

Please don't go encouraging folks to start conversations with me though....
I head off in the van to get away from folks... Not to talk to them...
MAY make exceptions for folks with dogs though.... As long as I can talk to the dog more than I talk to them though.

Read my mind, number of posts we see bleating guest houses etc complain when mhomes park because views are obstructed and told they don't buy a view legally , I sometimes think the majority of the human race is patently stupid ..I too prefer my dog in most cases

The reason re the OPs post herding instinct and a feeling of security , Extended mix of Megadeath meets Slayer featuring ywangie Malsteem soon has em packing

There could be a market for inflatable generators for people to leave outside their vans as a deterrent to herding.

Great idea.

You are doing it wrong. You need to take some advice from a seasoned Aire, Stelplatz and wild camping guru and general motorhome Yobbo.

What you need to do is two things. First you seek out a corner or end pitch. That way nobody can park on one side of you at least and even, YES EVEN if there is several acres of space and no vans some fecker (and Brits do this to) will come along and park next to you so think ahead!

Secondly you need to become the Aire yobbo. Spread out! Claim your land! Who won ****** anyway I say! (Try not to mention the war, I did once but I think I got away with it). Buy a guitar even if you cant play it and leave it next to the van with a few scattered empty super strength tramp lager cans strewn about, packet of fags etc. Maybe think about erecting a washing line and hang out a few T shirts with "Death to all motorhomers" or Summat written on them.

Here is a good example. Look how the yobbo has occupied an end pitch on an aire in the south of France. There is no chance of anyone coming within a hundred yards of this idiot.

Or you could just have a notice in your window stating 'BAGPIPE PRACTICE TONIGHT'

We would not park in front of anyones view be it motorhome or house and we would talk if they came out of their van
