Why do you put "Stickers" on your van? Forums

I don't have any stickers.

I once had a habitation check from a firm in East Sussex (not Johns X). It seemed that the guy did 1 hour of work and 1 hour sticking his adverts everywhere, the rear window, the door window the drivers door window, outside back wall. Everywhere. Needles to say, afterwards I went round the van peeling them all off.

I don't like it when you buy a new vehicle and they change the number plates. key fob, license holder and various other things with their advertising on.

The only thing that I did have was a MHF sticker, with pride I stuck it on the windscreen. It resulted in a failed MOT Sad

I'm having this one made for the spare wheel cover on the back of the Scout.

If you want a fantastic collection of "bumper stickers", take a look here - they post to the UK quite cheaply,

I have a hash (Footprint) sticker front and back and that's it. Thought about the MHF one but it's far too big.

On the old T2 - I designed and had made a vinyl spare wheel cover on the front which was very exclusive to Florette and I Hash wise and would be no use to anyone else, so I binned it when she was sold, the van, not Florette aka Carole.

We haven't got any stickers on ours simply cos we only got our Auto Trail last September and although we have been around the UK quite a bit we don't tend to buy them from places we've visited in and around the UK and choose to buy them from only european destinations. We did go to Italy in our new Auto Trail but unfortunatley our trip to Italy in November was sadly cut short due to losing our little dog whilst on holiday there and so due to the state we were both in we came home early. Sadly, the intended Italian sticker was never purchased but had we seen one prior to the accident, we would have bought one for sure. On our previous mothome we had a Moroccan camel and a Spanish Bull sticker and a bedouin nomad painted our Oyster sky dish with a Moroccan scene which when we sold our Kontiki we had transferred to our new Auto Trail Very Happy

. Must confess our painted Sky dish is a great conversational piece and many a fellow camper has struck up a conversation with us over it keen to know more about it and Morocco. It's a lovely reminder of a fantastic experience and we just love it! Very Happy

I do not like to see a vehicle covered all over in stickers but the odd one showing that you have visited somewhere a little further a field or maybe a tad different has just got to be done in my opinion - but why we feel the need to do this god only knows and maybe only a trained physchologist could tell us the deep rooted physchological reason why we humans display this weird and eccentric trait! Ha ha! Maybe while he is at it he could explain why some folk have stacks of cuddly toys in the front of their motorhomes or the rear windows of their cars?

At the end of the day it's each to their own and we all have our odd and funny little ways don't we and it must be something about marking ones territory or maybe it's a way of showing off about how well travelled we all are? LOL Very Happy

But whatever the reason the sticker makers must be making a mint? We ourselves used to sell Skegness souvenir and Disabled related stickers in our gift shop and they were real **HOT SELLERS** and at 99p each for a tiny strip of sticky back vinyl we weren't complaining! Very Happy

So apart from owt else these sticker factorys are keeping someone in a job for sure! Very Happy

PS Our motorhome also has a name ......... "Winnie Mark II" Our previous was "Winnie" named after my dear mum and when we traded "Winnie" in we brought the spirit of "Winnie" with us into our new van and hence the name "Winnie Mark II" ...................

Hi all,

Rather than just a GB sticker, we have an "ECOSSE" and an "CYMRU" sticker on the rear bumper, depicting the nationalities of the two owners/occupants.

We also have a "Caution, Left Hand Drive" sticker at upper right, eye level height for the coachies and truckies amonst us, and another one low down right, on the rear bumper, for the numpty car drivers who can't seem to look much further than the bonnet of their car. Wink

Hi to all

If buying a second hand MH or car and it has stickers on it, have a good look in the area of the stickers Confused

= as stickers are used to cover up scratches, and small damage.

Not one for stickers myself, I even replaced the number plate with ones that had my name on them, and not the dealers name, however, I do have a small Shetland flag on the top side, and a CI sticker also on the side over the cab doors, Exclamation

Also a CI sticker at the top rear, just under the ladder Confused

Covers small scratches Laughing

I have added a 10"x8" Caution Left hand drive sticker to the rear right of the vehicle now,

it covers quite brilliantly, the cracked fibreglass I may have caused whilst trying to reverse a 36x8.5 foot rv into a 35x8 foot allocated parking space.
( some fool covered a metal post with a parking cone.!!!!)
