4 decades later....

Hi everyone!

After 4 years with a 1988 T25 Bilbo conversion and then the last 12 years with my beloved 1986 Westfalia (LHD) we find ourselves collecting a new Beach Camper this Wednesday.

38 years between them, It's going to be a different experience - but the Beach will allow us both to use the Camper as Sarah (My partner) won't drive the LHD Westy!

One question...... T25 owners generally acknowledge each other on the road with a flash and a wave. Does such etiquette exist in the California world?

Safe and happy camping to you all.
Tony

Only between myopic Cali owners and Transporter driving plumbers with their copper in a awning like accessory

Seriously, many do wave if spotted in time. Certainly when overtaking on a motorway etc

Haha - I'll try and pay careful attention!

I've had more frantic waves since driving a motor home (2 months) than I ever did in a California (7 Years)!

Frantic maybe a good name for it.

They've all got these "Kenny Everett" style big hands now as well. I told my missus that if she gets one she can learn what her walking boots are for!

Coming from a 1969 early bay to a Cali via a T6 my experience is that waves are generally restricted to ‘same type’ ie splitting waves at splitty only, early bay at early bay only, etc.
Maybe the odd Cali waved on the motorway.
Sad.

Waving is a live and well, responding seems not so
