RUDE FRENCH CAMPER CONFRONTS US – You Won’t Believe Why!!

We had a similar thing involving a French man verbally attack Jane who was having a face time conversation with daughter at 6pm sitting in our awning – he came round to our vw and had a right go at her for talking!! – what made it worse was the French families were all talking way louder and their kids were riding up and down on their bikes screening – but he seemed to not like the British accent 😂 We had a house in France with lovely French friends so know they are not all like this – When Johnny got back to the van and popped to see him, he looked well sheepish 😂 little men pick on women 😂 We were baffled when he waved good bye to us in the morning in a friendly manner 😂

Sorry guys, I agree with the French guy.

Well done

Rice outside a church in Europe is usually a wedding, rice is thrown over the bride and groom. Basically similar to us throwing confetti or rose petals

Guess I wouldn’t enjoy camping with a lorry spewing diesel fumes beside me either. Don’t blame the guy

We've been to Peniscola and the Old Town is best for food. A few places on the beach front are reasonably priced. But old Town and further back are best.

Miami playa is worth a nose around, and L'escala.

Over the Border into France,
Adge, Cap D'adge, Narbonne are worth a visit as is portaraines pladge

That was stupid and self inflicted and you should have apologized for running the engine so long, or filmed it better because that was bad on you.

Instead of watching the guy signal, and leaving it running whilst you did something else, just turn it off OR go and explain why you can't – it's a shared social setting so it's about neighbourliness. He was quite gentle with pointing it out, until you just ignored him. Imagine something that bothered you – like a yappy dog – even though it's 'not a big deal' to the owner, it can be a big deal to someone else. And a shared social setting is not just about what you decide is a 'big deal'. Your vehicle is larger and noisier than most, so that can be a noisy for others.

From what we saw he really wasn’t that rude and maybe he didn’t realise you were leaving but once he knew you were going he stopped caring about it.

Another vote for the French guy.
1. Prepare vehicle & passengers for departure.
2. Final checks and board passengers.
3. Start engine & depart.

Any delays to chat to people or domestic chores: switch off engine, and repeat step 3 once completed.

Perhaps retitle the video “we caused a nuisance to our neighbours and left without apologising”.

its a truck your in what do you expect come on its a fare bit louder than a normal van please use the truck stop after all thats what your in

I’m not a bit surprised at the reaction. Some people are super sensitive to engine noise. It happens in the boating world too, where people have no option but to run engines to charge batteries and heat water, but some boaters don’t accept it when other people have to do it.
Having said that, it was the one thing I didn’t like about my Mercedes 811d camper. The little German guy with his hammers beating away, particularly at idle, was particularly intrusive. When shop for a lorry to convert, I deliberately avoided Mercedes for that reason. We ended up with a 6 cylinder Eurocargo, one of the most musical hgv engines and virtually silent at idle. You do still have to let it run for up to ten minutes, to build air and release the brakes, so if anyone complains about it, quiet and all as it is, I can demonstrate the impossibility of moving off.
I have a particular problem with men picking a quarrel with my own tiny Mrs, so I think that situation might have escalated a bit more, if I’d been there. You don’t give the small woman grief over something she plainly has no control over. If you have a problem with me, you bring it up with me, or keep it to yourself! He’d have been asked to explain himself, at the very least.

I have a particular liking for long hair misbehaving like that, on windy days, Kiera. I’m sure it must be very irritating, but it always makes me smile and want to hug the person involved.
Luckily, that’s usually my own diminutive better half, so I don’t get into trouble if I act on the impulse. I have even been known to buy a nook, simply because the cover depicts a long haired woman with hair in the wind. She who must be obeyed has been known to point out instances that I might otherwise have missed, because she knows how deeply it improves my mood. You got smiles from both of us, for this example.

Im not sure if you have one or not, but it could be a great idea to invest in trucknav. Designed for hgvs and will keep you away from those tight spots 😂

French guy had a genuine issue, turn your engine off.
There is yet another reason French people think that English tourists are ignorant.
You were not in Skegness , appreciate other countries customs.

Revving your engine was you just being a dick.

Ignorant and disrespectful. And I mean this vlogger.
