HiI'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.

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?
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?
I take it its code of practice is purely concerned with safety? Build quality doesn't come in to it? If so I wonder why.
