bizarre people who don't wash up in their vans! Forums

This reminds me of a story about a single gentleman who bought a new three piece suite and two years later still had the protective polythene on it Shocked

in case it got dirty.
I also wondered about the thread regarding where to stash your trainers before you enter the van. With three dogs on board in wet weather, this is not an option and the answer was simply to remove the carpets - the floor takes less than five minutes to wipe clean again Cool

so the only time I remove my shoes is when I go to bed but maybe I'm just a slob Embarassed

I too find this staggering, but, and slightly off topic, I am amazed at stories of people filling up their fresh water tanks to take it home Rolling Eyes

It must be just me, but I couldn't be bothered with the effort to save a few pence let alone go out in the rain to use a loo and do the dishes.

as a tent camper we used the sinks but never have in arthur

i suppose it would save filling up with water so often and also on gas to heat water - but like you say why buy a motorhome in that case

My goodness, everyone is getting tetchy. Does it really matter if someone wants to do something different. It's their motorhome and their time & money.

Now who can I have a go at ?

How about sad people who sit in front of computers talking to complete strangers. Only joking. Wink

Hi all
Maybe they are all ex tent campers and cannot get out of the habit of running with the bowl of dirties to the tap of deliciously hot water....I remember it well! Or maybe there just a bunch of tight wads who having paid to be on a site with facilities are going to use them all. Or maybe they think they are saving on the gas to heat the water but then again I expect they are on a hook up so that's not valid....Ok so they leave all the lights on and the heating when they go out just to get value for money.

Hi all,
must agree with Flint on this one, although we use all the gear in our van, its bugger all to do with us what others choose to do. Some people are quite at home with their routine, as others just like doing nothing. As we all get older we all have our small habits and eccentric ways, if someone chooses to washup in the communal sink, good luck to them, if you choose not to use the onboard bog, good luck to you also.
I sometimes wander over to the communal showers at night when they are quiet to shave and shower to save messing up the shower room, so what!
However rant over, tongue in cheek.

Hey! I'm not complaining, those people who sell their vans in pristine/unused condition are great for those who do use their vans and fancy changing their van - Unless the van is totally clapped out, the price isn't much different whether it is very good used or little-used used.

Let em carry on I say (although I can't understand why all that money is paid for something that is not used????

Possibly because if you want a nice big motorhome with lots of room in it then the sink, hot water, shower, toilet etc come as standard?

In our 'van,

we 'pee' in it

'poo' in it

'wash up' in it

'cook roasts' in it

'cook toast' in it

'wash our bits' in it

and generally use it for what it was designed for.

However, if you choose not to use your 'vans facilities then its a free world.
