• Who are The NCC and why should you care?

  🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance 🛒 PRODUCT OF THE WEEK - GET 4 MONTHS FREE https://nordvpn.com/motorhomematt This week on the Motorhome Matt podcast, we shine a light on the organisation that shapes much of the motorhome and caravan industry—but that most people have never heard of. So who exactly are the NCC? (Spoiler: it’s the National Caravan Council.) And more importantly, why should you care? Matt sits down with Simon McGrath, Director of Communications at the NCC, to unpack what they do, how they support the trade, and what it means for you as a motorhome owner or camper. From those familiar blue quality badges to approved servicing schemes and lobbying in Westminster, the NCC plays a much bigger role than you might think—and it’s all happening behind the scenes. Also in the spotlight: the Camping and Caravanning Club has confirmed it won’t be attending the NEC shows in October 2025 or February 2026. Matt explores why that matters, what might be driving the decision, and how it ties into growing concerns about campsite pricing, value for money, and the rise of off-grid touring. Our Alan Rogers Campsite of the Month takes us to the Costa Dorada, with a sun-soaked Spanish site that could easily be your next big escape. And in this week’s Q&A, Matt answers your questions on Fiat’s nine-speed gearbox quirks, towing a motorbike with a Bessacarr, and the rules around filling a jerry can in France. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved ⛺️ CAMPSITE OF THE MONTH mhmp.info/alanrogers ❓ ASK MATT mhmp.info/askmatt 🗓️ UPCOMING EVENTS mhmp.info/events 📹 WATCH ON YOUTUBE mhmp.info/watch 💬 LEAVE A REVIEW mhmp.info/review The Motorhome Matt podcast is brought to you by That Leisure Shop, camping and leisure vehicle accessory specialists. 10% off your first order with the code MOTORHOMEMATT.

And why are some insurers getting twitchy about wild camping? Matt’s got answers—and the contacts to find out more when he doesn’t.

  🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance 🛒 NORDVPN - GET 4 MONTHS FREE https://nordvpn.com/motorhomematt Would you bag your poo for the sake of off-grid freedom? In this episode of the Motorhome Matt podcast, Matt and Keith dive into the pros and cons of separation toilets in motorhomes. Long popular on canal boats, they’re now popping up in campervans too—but are they worth the effort, or just another vanlife gimmick? Matt chats with Daniel from Trelino to unpack how these toilets work, whether they really are odour-free, and how to properly deal with your waste. From double-bagging your number twos to the legalities of binning them, we’re not skimming over the awkward bits. In this week’s Q&A, a listener asks whether the 90-day EU travel limit applies when touring Southern Ireland. Another shares frustration with campsite pay-as-you-go electricity systems—Matt has thoughts. And if you or someone you know is 90+ and struggling to get insured, there’s a tip you won’t want to miss. Plus, Matt shares why he’s now using a VPN on the road, and how it’s helped him stay secure (and catch up on TV) wherever he parks up. Whether you swear by your cassette toilet or you’re tempted to ditch the chemicals, there’s plenty here to get you thinking. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved ❓ ASK MATT mhmp.info/askmatt 🗓️ UPCOMING EVENTS mhmp.info/events 📹 WATCH ON YOUTUBE mhmp.info/watch 💬 LEAVE A REVIEW mhmp.info/review The Motorhome Matt podcast is brought to you by That Leisure Shop, camping and leisure vehicle accessory specialists. 10% off your first order with the code MOTORHOMEMATT.
