Thanks for everyones help with my large family and motorhome needed.
Now I have been doing more research and can see that there maybe a problem with seatbelts.
From what I can understand, though it shouldn't be a problem, as long as I buy pre 2007 (well with my budget that won't be a prpblem!) I can carry all six persons in my motorhome, whether it has two seatbelts or six?
I have just read another post on another website that:
The critical points are that for owners of older motorhomes, it will not become illegal to carry passengers in the rear, provided that no seatbelts are fitted to any seats behind the driver and front passenger seats. Owners of any motorhome that has belts fitted to any seat in the rear will need to be aware that, from May 2009, it will be illegal to carry passengers in any unbelted seats.
Does this mean that it is better to buy a motorhome that has only two seatbelts in the front?
Thanks for your advice once again - if this information is already posted on this forum just point me in the right direction and don't bother typing it all out again! Many thanks
