I'm very new to motor homing !! On only my 2nd trip out in my unit - I encountered a fellow motor homer coming towards me who gave me a very enthusiastic wave and a flash of his lights !! of course I responded !! but is that normal / expected - i'm happy to give anyone a wave but don't wish to look like a **** ??

Takes all kinds....we wave....no light flashing though, thats just to warn about speed camera vans..followed by a 'thumb down'. We dont like people shooting Badgers either.

This reminds me of pal of mine who back in the 60s was driving around in his sports car sporting his flat cap and wearing driving gloves flashing lights (this meant switching on and off the headlights then) and waving at all the other sports car drivers, very trendy

Back in the 1970's when we first had our VW camper every VW Camper would wave 100% no one missed plus a big smile. Today in a coach built motorhome not quiet that many but guess after lockdown a few more will revert to the good old tradition. Well I for one hope they do. It can and does add to the fun and apart from "A" class who are too posh to wave most of us enjoys this silly little thing.

The Metropolitan was an early joint venture between Austin and Nash in the USA, the Nash which was sold in the USA had an Austin engine.
Anyone remember the Austin Atlantic a 6 cylinder 2 door Convertible which lent heavily on American styling ? Now I would definitely wave at one of those if I saw one on my travels
