Can someone explain?

No need - you've already told us - I just assumed you were talking from experience rather than speculating!
Actually, the only time we ever use our curtains is when the van's in storage - it's very disappointing looking out from there!

Alright, alright you lot, sorry I spoke. Let's not start any fisticuffs here! So the answers to my query are:- they are on honeymoon, stressed out, like their privacy, can't be bothered to take their cover down and put it back up at night, can't see their computer screens etc. I think my suggestion of they being vampires is the most likely. We are leaving tomorrow so I will take the garlic down from around the door in the morning and sleep safely tomorrow night.... unless on the next site... another motorhome covered up...yikes..

Welcome to "Jeremy Kyle's waiting room", aka the world of Forums Millie.
They all have their resident, snipers, and windup merchants, collectively known as "keyboard warriors".
They sit and wait for someone to ask what is a perfectly valid question, and one which they would give a polite answer to, if you were asking them face to face. However, put them behind a keyboard, with a fictitious name, in cyber space, and Mr Jekyll becomes Mr Hyde. ☺

actually the reason is pretty obvious and given in your OP
I am on a lovely site (not CC)
who wants to look out on that view?

you'll see a noticeable difference millie8, enjoy
But it will be interesting if you see the same phenomena on a CC site

I notice that nobody has answered the question. There are specific reasons why motorhomers do this more than caravans. The reasons are as follows:
1. Motorhomes are more mobile and move site more frequently so owners tend not to get too settled in and often don’t bother with steadies, blinds etc. and this becomes a habit.
2. Cab blinds are more difficult to get at if our van is anything to go by. You have to climb around the front seats which are often used for storage overnight and then the blinds need a bit more care to close rather than a simple up and down “quick release”.
3. The front cab has a lot of window space so there is not much privacy.
4. Motorhomes generally don’t have awnings, usually a canopy at most, so this further reduces the privacy.
So, all quite logical?

The reasons are as follows:
so you are claiming that this is the definitive 'logical' answer? Not a bit perhaps, maybe, tiny bit arrogant there to claim your reason are correct?
well it could be but 'logically', apart from maybe the vampire one,all the other 'explanations' (including my own) are just as likely? We will never know unless the said MH owner's in question come on and state their reasons we are all just guessing with reasons to back up our guesses
Personally (and my own reason was in jest btw but could be true) as people have said if it doesn't interfere with my own pitch and stay who should care?

Well, as a caravanner for 30 years and now a motorhome owner I am just venturing some ideas based on factual differences between the construction of motorhomes and the travelling style of the occupants compared with caravans. I call it logical but I know from your posts on other topics that you have a somewhat different view on what is logical.
Of course people have personal preferences which we all respect but I am simply suggesting that there can be sound reasons for these preferences.

well with all due respect you were not 'venturing' but stating them ie by saying The reasons are as follows.
No one could deny there are sound reasons, but only the occupants know the true reasons. As to the logical aspect, your comments are illogicall

30 years? Pah, that’s nowt. I’ll top you by another 15 years and still folk puzzle me. There’s no logic to most of it. 🤣🤣🤣

Watch a programme like, for example homes under the hammer, and one of the common cliches is, its light and airy. Wonder if these same folk go away in their motor caravans and immediately shut out the light and airy? That's me just being curious again.

In the Med. and other hot regions the locals leave their shutters closed. Our Italian neighbour despite living in the UK for about 50 years favoured dark, north facing, locations and to us seem to live in the dark all the time.

Lucky you! Here in Norfolk haven't seen anyone sitting outside for a while now, all huddled in our caravans! Weather bright and sunny this morning, but cold...wow. As I said earlier, we are leaving today but still have another few days to enjoy in (hopefully) sunny Suffolk. Can't believe this post is still running. By the way, said motorhome pulled their front blind down by about a foot or so yesterday, can't help but see as I sit here typing directly straight in front of my side window.

Many motorhomes have those outside screens, to either keep the mh cooler in the summer, or warmer in the winter together with its stops condensation on the windscreen area. Many have drop down sections whereby you can see out but adds privacy from passerbys . But most people want a full view

unless away in the sort of weather David is having, we are probably the opposite to what's been described in the OP in that we have the blinds open till bedtime...
we have a large blind in the front cab that cab be opened top down or bottom up as required for keeping out the sun or for privacy but with the top open...
the screen is double skinned and also provides insulation so we don't have an outside blind which many leave in place...
whatever suits the individual in my book.
