Motorhomes dominate

Does it really matter, BB, or is this just another wind up by you two Somerset lads?
We can either have our van door open or closed, or we can have the top half open and the bottom half closed - oh, what a difficult choice! Why would we want the door half open? (Other fractional openings are available! )

thought it might amuse one or two of you
away (non MH) in a couple of days but should be 'land cruising' again when we get back

Some motor caravan doors have gas struts that when in working condition can hold a door in calm conditions but the knous? opposite us may have a problem in the breeze we have, as it has a bungy cord holding the door attached to the drivers door handle

what stops the door flip/flopping about in the wind?
Flip? lol
the same device on the number of motorhomes (posted in this thread that you overlooked) that do not have these struts, they too will flap about I assume?

no, just responding to CS accusation of me being anti caravan in describing a gass strut...
or is this just a wind up by a Wiltshire lad and a Yorkshire chap?

I obviously don't visit the same "quarters" you do

Prior to joining the A75 which is a major road from near Gretna Green to Stranrear and on to the ferries to Northern Ireland I had followed said sight seeing motor caravan from the New England Bay site through B roads at 25/30 mph which I found to be on the slow side but I was prepared to accept the drivers caution,it was when we joined the A 75 heading toward Dumfries I would have expected a speed increase to around 50 mph and it is this that did not happen which,having read the stupid post I quoted,that prompted my rear window comment!!!now that I have fully explained myself you may be able to see my point (or not!!!

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That cruises on roads o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of glorious motorhomes;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Relaxing and lounging in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of the bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Parked enjoying their 'solitude'.
The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be happy,
In such a jocund fraternity:
I gazed—and gazed—but then thought
What tremendous wealth the gang had brought:
For oft, when on my bunk I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with memories roams,
And glories in the motorhomes. 😀
With apologies to WW.

Just for a bit of balance. Off the top of me old head our membership at present stands at around 49% motorhomes and is increasing

We apparently have a similar problem in Norway, indeed we have seen it ourselves.
The roads up north are not that great, but we seem to get a lot of MHs travelling at around 35mph and holding up local traffic.
These are mainly German tourists, no doubt they are enjoying our scenery, but they have no idea about pulling over to let the locals past, it causes a lot of frustration!

I can’t think of another from Yorkshire. Oh, TDA, perhaps?

so is that due to the 're-brand' together with increasing MH sales?If so a good forward thinking decision by the club.

well technically it's all the land north of the Humber, ie Northumberland.
There was a BBC radio Newcastle 1st April joke a few year ago where they 'broke' the story that Northumberland was going to be renamed North-tyne-land and Humberside was going back to Northumberland.
It was really well done.

not happy are you BB?

Northumberland is teeny-tiny compared to the mahoosive & all powerful Yorkshire. . .No offence to the other Counties that just don’t measure up🤣🤣🤣😗
mmmm, Mayhap Northumberlandshire👍🏻
