Distinctive import smell?!!!!

[Pete The Greek]

Hi guys -does anyone else seem to think that there is a particular smell to a camper that comes from, for example, California or Australia when it arrives in our country? a friend of mine says that he was able to identify the origins of two buses through smell alone at a recent show! One was a Califorian and the other South African... What you think?!!!

 

[sidecargezzer]

from Cali? must be the fruity drinks we spill in the bus's

 

[DadWagens]

It's not just fruity drinks, we spill a lot of "special herbs" too...

 

[K@rlos]

Mine smelt like the beach 8)

And a hint of mustiness :lol:

Mine smelt of mouse wee and poo, I can confidently say it was a mouse as I pulled its carcass from the front air vent
And hoovered a tone of Californian mouse poo out of it :-(

 

[aspro]

I wonder what the bus' from Cypress smell like? Tzatziki maybe?

Mine smells of aging hornet nests.....that gives me an idea for a new car air freshner :idea:

 

[ProfessorWheeto]

:lol: Bollocks.

They get bug bombed at the docks prior to shipping so I doubt any regional smells are preserved :lol:

We did have one van turn up from Oz still full of camping gear.........and food. That was a distinctive aroma!

Its weird, they always say that, but the amount of spiders etc ive seen crawling out of a container would believe they use tht cash elsewhere, like the bar 8)

 

[Rippers]

Found some awesome spiders under our recently purchased Cali bay, I'm usually ok with spiders but after looking them up they had to blow torched lol as they where either American house spiders or black widows both bite apparently so death it was :-(

:lol: Wouldn't suprise me. We had hornets in one, and ended up with a Red Back spider living in the spray booth.

 

[Gütterßnipe]

Mine smelt of Pussy Juice!









I think a cat had pissed in it :lol:

[ozziedog]

Is that Pete The Greek that I met at the castle last year and briefly this year ?????

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,, Hard to tel when you is both sober :lol: :mrgreen: :lol:

 

[RichardAlexander]

Mine was mouse wee and poo combined with rotting hornets nest, whilst changing the ignition barrel I found a rather large spider nest and a rather angry looking mum, it didn't run away it just sat there so now I can add insect spray to the aroma.

My SA van smelled of stale sweat
