In this episode of the Motorhome Matt podcast, we’re tackling an often misunderstood topic—seatbelt use in motorhomes and campervans. With so many newcomers on the road, there’s a lot of confusion about who can sit where, what counts as a travel seat, and what the guidance says. Matt is here to set the record straight, so strap in.

We’ve also got some cracking news from Out and About Live, who are calling on the government to back British holidays. If you care about the future of UK travel and tourism, this one’s worth a listen.

Plus, we’re heading to the South of England Showground for a preview of Campervan Campout with Michael from Warners. There’s chat about music, self-builds and foraging.

And in the Q&A, we hear from Bruce in Hull, who’s not happy about a failed reversing camera on his brand-new Adria; Paul in Belfast, who wants to know if licence rules are likely to change; and David in Wales, who’s wondering whether his folded-up bike rack needs a chevron panel.
