I try to, but sometimes I am a little busy with: GPS, Cell Phone, Email, TV, and let alone trying to drive. I would need a third hand ... just kidding!!

I've been waving despite the critic in the passenger seat...she thinks I'm a goober for waving !!

Do you wave thru the windshield or the side window...I have for the past three years done it on the side (on highways) but this year, since I was not getting a lot of replies I am trying it looking thru the windshield....maybe this tactic will work better !!

I'am 38 i figure that is a couple GENERATIONS behind you. Please don't ASSUME just because we are younger that we are LAZY, BAD, MEAN, people because we don't wave. Us LAZY, BAD, MEAN, people work 50 hours a week are also firemen on the side and still have time to spend with family camping. Just remember if it was not for the next who would be around to do C.P.R. !! Happy Camping

I like to wave too! The other day someone pulled up even with us on the interstate and waved!

It's a courtesy one civil RVer does for another. Watch our fellow truck drivers and bus drivers - they just hold up their left hand near the side window and windshield - and get a similar return. It's becoming a sad world when RVers (the world's friendliest people) won't offer a greeting for fear of not having a guaranteed return wave.

I always wave at other MH's. If you are so uptight driving that you can't lift one hand off the wheel, then you either need to get some lessons or get off the road. Lighten up some and you'll find these things a lot easier and a lot more fun to drive.

If I don't wave back it's probably because I have the MH in cruise control and I just went back to the frig to get another beer.

I could be, I have lived here since I was born but contrary to popular belief not all Californians are that way. Anyway call me anything but just don't call me late to dinner.
