Hi All, on my first drive from collecting my MH and then my subsequent travelling for first stay, i must admit i couldnt believe the friendliness of other MH's. Passing on all types of road the majority of MH owners waving a hello. Is this a common occurence all over the country?
Was nice to see over the normal gestures seen by other car drivers.

When travelling northbound on the D9001 in France last week, one enthousiastic (southbound) UK plated motorhomer flashed his lights AND waved!
Then you ran into the speed trap he was warning you about?
Not at all; one thing we do is keep to the speed limit, to the apparent annoyance of some drivers behind, who seem to think the 50kph speed limits in towns and villages aren't the maximum speed limits.
One GB plated car had his day spoiled on that route though, by being stopped by a couple of speed checking gendarmes.

I'd read this thread previously with interest in the varying views. Personally I am a waver, as an acknwledgement of the camaraderie that in my short experience I have found to exist, provided the circumstances permit it. But I accept many will not feel it appropriate to respond.
I just wanted to add to the discussion that professional drivers, including emergency services, consider it appropriate to acknowledge kindred spirits when circumstances permit. While we might wave to a Tesco van an ambulance driver ackowledges Morrison's vehicles!

Sorry InaD....it was a joke
I realised that 
it just made me think about the times we've been tailgated by a vehicle behind when on a stretch of 50kph road,
and I was typing out loud I suppose. We've been flashed loads of times in our 30+ years in France to know that before long there'll be a gendarme with a speedgun at the side of the road somewhere. Don't do flashing ourselves though, only waving
