When I had my VW campervan we used to wave at other VW campervans and they would wave back. The same thing applied in my Caterham 7 and the same happens now when driving my Defender and we meet another Defender. My question is, do us Eribafolk wave to each other.

So far, I've only towed the van about 10 miles, to bring it home, but will shortly be off to Wales for our first outing in it and don't want to make a fool of myself

We wave or flash (wait for it) as we did with our Westphalia 73 bay. We do on le-continaunt also but rarely get a response.

We wave and flash. Some wave back and some don't......

and some don't

If you flash at them I'm not surprised

Last time an Eriba outfit came the other way I was busy watching an HGV in front to see if I could get by or not. OH spotted the other Eriba at the last moment, to late to respond to their waves.

I wave, even when not being pushed, saw some foreign plater in Cardiff leaving one evening and waved and guess what, they were laughing AND waved back so I guess despite Brexit we all know why we are waving whether in tow or not! toot toot wave

Definitely wave, we spotted an Eriba going t'other way at Kyle of Lochalsh mid September. They spotted us, much waving and flashing of lights. Made me smile for the next hour or so. Do it, wave.

It's funny explaining to non-Eriba people how excited we do feel when we see another Eriba.

Every time you pitch on a site with another Eriba on it seems that within 5 minutes you are chatting with them, usually followed by non-Eriba vanners who want to tell you how cool your van is and many say that they have always loved Eribas.it gives a very warm feeling. MikeT

On our latest trip over the past couple of weeks we experienced much interest in our Eriba on the sites we stopped at. And yes, we wave and whether we get a response or not is immaterial.

I will wave

We wave, it cheers folk up (and we take the risk that some people cannot be cheered up). We have a synchronised wave sequence all done to a count. 1,2,3 Right arm and hand up, 1,2,3 rotate 3 arm and hand from the elbow (like a royal wave) then down. It’s cracked a few people up and we get a laugh.

That must look like internal windscreen wipers !
