Whats the Orange Spot

 ·  Posted: 14.04.2014  ·  #1
Good Morning All,

Why do some motorhomes have an Orange Spot on the Roof line?

Whats it for?

Driver this side> Left Dot?

And some have other signals on the roofline - Deer and stags etc - it this art/personal taste?
Thanks

I wonder could it be burstner motorhomes that you're seeing? They have the orange spot as part of their logo?

Driver this side! Would that indicate a LHD Motorhome, we have a Camal on ours it was there when we got it, I think it was the owner personalising his or hers Motorhome.

The Bustier sign, is on the passenger side(I think) so you can tell if it's ltd or rhd, as it is coming towards you.

FFS, Dave!
Come to think of it is a Moose that is on our one and not a Camel and I can assure you I haven't been offered any swinging, :D :D :D

Maybe the Moose should be on the door for swinging. :hide: :bash: :bash:

Enough nonsense chaps
The orange spot is related to the height of the driver.
Mine is on the bonnet.

I just got an Adirondack mountain black bear sticker for my vans spare wheel cover, but am frightened to put it on until I check it's significance.

So - I contacted Hymer - UK and .Com

UK Branch - Sorry dont know - Goodbye! :( :o :'( 🇧🇭

Germany - Sorry Dont know - thanks for buying our product - please send photo and we shall find out. :happy:
24 hours later - We got it - :o its a faded Eriba Sticker - Product Code ******** - Available from all Hymer dealers> :D :up: :D Its lovely - have to order from a dealer who cares :bash:

What A Service :up: And what did it cost them to contact me with interest and attempt to assist me further - Nothing :-|

What affect did it have to sort out the problem :up: :up: :-) :up:

Thanks Germany for the Vehicle and the cracking Afterservice.

UK Service sucks - cannot be bothered unless there is a few ££ in it for them :blink:

So - its not a Moose or the like for illustrating social night time activities / outlets :hide:
There is the idea that the Bull represented travel in Spain,
the Moose - the Baltic states,
Camel - Desert (or too tight of Jeans :o) :D ,
Load of Trees ???? Any forest probably -
a Dalmation?? Dog - Gannon :lol: ??
Sheep - (Hi boy!) O-)

The Dot??
Its another Advert :-)
