Whaty I mean by disaster is more like theres a pile up on the motorway and traffic is at standstill. or theres snow and traffic will be going no weher for a few hours.
You are nice ans snug in the MH with the heater on, Hot drinks etc and of course a loo. But people in cars around you are not so well off. A family with screaming kids in the next car look a bit distraught.
Or the elderly couple look a bit the worse for wear.
Question is wouold you let someone into your nice warm van?
Please answer the poll questions below

Based on our only 'almost like' situation I would expect so. Eighteen months ago in the Isle of Man we were parked up close to a couple of tenters. The forecast was horrendous - gale force winds, etc. The offer that, if things got too tough, they could spend the night in our van was genuine. In the end, our offer of hospitality was not needed - whether it was because the winds weren't quite as strong as forecast, or because they didn't fancy spending a night with a couple of old fogies, we aren't quite sure.

Yes, although if there were people injured we would be out helping any ambulance staff or sorting out prior to their arrival (both of us were trained to Ambulance Technician level and MrsW is a specialist nurse with skills above that).
But our MH is only a possession and people are more important IMO, we have had something similar on the M4 where a car had rolled and three people were injured (one very seriously) we were the first on the scene and sorted out things until the professionals had finished, including the initial assessment and stabilisation before the paramedics arrived and then assisting with C spine immobilisation and loading onto trolleys............
our MH was there but was not needed other than as a blocker to prevent other vehicles ploughing into the scene (and us), and that became redundant once the Fire Service arrived and blocked the entire scene including our vehicle - they are bigger and flashier than us!!!!.
Reminds me of a story going around a couple of years ago about a guy who came across a road accident in his car.
There where several walking wounded and he invited one to sit in his car to keep warm while the emergency services arrived.On arrivall the ambulance crew decided because the injured person had neck pains they should be placed on a spinal board, so the fire crew cut the roof of his car.
I wonder what he put on his insurance claim form.
Hi.
One accident,pulled driver from cab,got my bedding,wrapped him up,got phone numbers,adresses etc,was thanked by emergency services. I think today,i may have got a B******ing,my thoughts,"Every little helps". Now where have i heard that.

PS.A1, Blind alley junction Chester Le Street,north bound 69/70. One police officers number...... 1066! Why do i remember that Was it you,did you know them?,he was a proper man.
PPS. Safety checks?. I did ask him if he was all in one piece,(How you do),as i did not want to drag only half of him out,how thoughtfull is that.His reply,"Just get me out my leg is burning on the engine"
The issue of allowing use of the loo would obviously depend on all the circumstances, including how full the cassette was. An overflowing loo is no use to anyone. Might manage to find some other containers though.
