The Badge on my Adria Twin
- Does this badge mean anything to you?
- Would you buy a van that is not NCC approved?
- Is this badge something you look for when buying?
Should I add a few paragraphs in the next buyer's guide update?

Sadly my impression is that the NCC has not been very successful at encouraging progress and innovation. Advances in motorhome technology seem to have come from Europe rather than the UK. If I am wrong then they have done a poor job communicating with me the consumer. If my worst fears are justified then they may have played a part in holding the UK industry back. I really don’t know enough to be sure. However I have bought 3 new motorhomes in the last 10 years and none of them have been UK built or had an NCC label on them so I do wonder what they are celebrating.The trade association has been representing its members since its creation in 1939 and is a leading voice that supports the investment, growth and development of the caravan, motorhome, campervan, park home and holiday caravan sectors.
Brit brand, or foreign?I remember registering our caravan on CRIS.

Just a another thing the manufacturer brought out for the customer to have carried out to keep the warranty on their Motorhome/ caravan, my understanding is this should be carried out free of charge by the manufacturer because they are the ones that need the guarantee not us and taking into account the amount of money we pay to buy one of their products. I believe it should be free of charge.I've had a press release sent to me about the NCC celebrating it's 85th Birthday. This organisation was set up to represent the maker's and dealers interests. And in that I'm sure that in this, it does a good job.
They do many things, but their main claim to fame is the Manufacturers Approval Scheme. It says the scheme is recognised throughout the industry and is proof of a manufacturer's commitment to the safety of its products and its customers.

Thing is, I've written the most downloaded Motorhome Buyer's Guide in history, and I don't mention the NCC Scheme. Is this remiss of me? Should I add a few paragraphs in the next buyer's guide update?
A few years back I was invited to join the battery working committee of the NCC, which I did.

Back to the original question maybe a paragraph in the buyers guide should include information that the scheme is run by a body set up by manufacturers and the badge is worthless!I've had a press release sent to me about the NCC celebrating it's 85th Birthday. This organisation was set up to represent the maker's and dealers interests. And in that I'm sure that in this, it does a good job.
