If was one thing that I really upset me when I was in a caravan park, have to be the campers that used to put John Laws at full volume :mad:
Why people do not enjoy the sound of the bush and keep the wireless off is one thing that I cannot understand.
No to mention respect and consideration towards the other campers.....
Pull up and have a cuppa with them.:D Or walk alongside and have a chat.:)Quote:

A couple of my observations:1) they love to check out each others vans and see what mods they have done to make their life easier - I have picked up a few good ideas from them. 2) they generally are very social, and all love to have a chat - spend a bit of time with them and you could learn something. Many have spent months in parts of Australia that we can only hope about getting to - and they have been there before the roads there were paved.
Alot of parks have "happy hour" where the park patrons can get together.
Just like any other group with common interest you have your caravanning clubs where they have organised trips, this may be a reason where some have experienced getting behind a group of 5 or more vans at once.
As we get older we become creatures of habit - this is their habits and territory.
This is what I do.Quote:

Not just to be nice to them by letting the semi or roadtrain etc pass safely without leaving the bitumen or formed part of the road but so I don't get sprayed by rocks if they were to move off the road.
So it is win win.
Ahhh the old Dormobile!Quote:

I don't do drugs and the doctors have virtually banned me from having a beer these days, so a man's gotta be allowed at least one or two vices.
If I wasn't logging onto AURO once a day or so, I would probably be reading a book or something similar. Can't be on the move all day at my age. :o
We use the laptops to keep in touch with family & friends while travelling, plus to plan ahead in our travels. There's an icon on my screen that takes me direct to AULRO, and somehow, the mouse seems to find its way there most times when I have the laptop turned on. :angel:
Thanks Eevo, your pearls of wisdom are always appreciated.

This is why I go away so I do not have to talk to family and friends. I like to leave the phone / laptop behind. I like being in my own little world, I barely ever buy the papers when on holidays.Quote:
