Why do bus owners camp in a circle?

These are my reasons but im welcome to other peaples reasons and explinations

The buses and vans act as a windbreak

The busses help reflect the heat from the fire pit

The effects of both of the above create a micro climate of warmth and light

In a circle no one is in charge and nobody feels the cold
Every ones sliding door is the same distance away roughly
You can put the kids to bed in the bus and still sit round the fire
Cooking sort of flows into comunal cooking and collectivly we all have most of what we would need without knowing it to last a month after a show

Modern campsites struggle to understand this with us dubbers but there was no concerns in dent they loved us

If paras near the fire you should just remind him a few times when theres kids in bed

 

Communal boiling water for hot water bottles may be the future thing if it doesent warm up soon

 

To protect us from attack by injuns

An early meeting of wagons

 

Its often said a circle round a camp is a sign of protection

 

I always thought it was in case the ninjas attack.

 

looks good on Google maps too..like a kind of camper van Stonehenge.

 

All of the above, plus the dodgy brakes on a bus pull to one side.

 

A gang a wild raccoons can be lethal, a circle of vans is their sworn enemy.

 

to keep *****s from walking round doing nice camper peoples heads in ,or its ocd owen nw

 

All round defence, basic battlefield skills.

 

you never know when them indians may attack... plus ideal for the communial camp fire, and bake bean eaing fartin contest.

 

that did spring to mnd when i wrote it, lol...

 

Camping in a circle means if someone's handbrake fails, there will always be another camper there to block it from rolling away....

 

I think it's because, as we all know, buses have personalities. They're one of the crew. No one wants to leave theirs hidden away, they want it included in all the camping fun, listen to their music on their stereo, grab a beer from their cool box, and rustle up a midnight bacon sandwich on their hob. Can't do that to any effect if it's all hidden away in the dark!

agree?

Oh, and you can sit in front of your own beautiful bus and acknowledge all the admiring glances from fellow campers!

 

It makes us all feel like one big happy family!!.Like the round table of old,no one is left out.

 

Alex likes looking at the bottom of the van in front

 

You have all seen them going down the road,following each other, well when they get in a field the front one starts to follow the rear one and when they stop there in a circle ;-)and that's the truth

 

It's because we are our own Republic and we don't want to talk to outsiders. They just don't understand our ways.

 

That's just what I was thinkinh ......WAGONS ROLL !
