That sounds very official Tinster, is it full fat lobbying type group or more Moho Lite for jibber jabbering?🤔

PS-how much will it cost?🤔

It's early days yet, Rocky. It appears to have aspirations to the former whilst having an element of the latter. We'll have to wait and see but good luck to them👍🏻

PS. As for cost, Rocky, I don’t know. It says free to join and non-profit making🤷🏻‍♂️

It seems so and, with ref to JV's post, it looks as if the guy may run a small site associated with an agricultural business so he would probably have a pretty good grasp of LV issues.

It's the brain child of Jim, the person who owns and runs Motorhome Fun. Nearly 48,000 members worldwide.  

As yet it only exists as a suggestion seeking people that may be interested in becoming members and forming the management team.

In less than two days nearly 300  people have "joined".  

It may or may not happen and there is still a long way to go.  

The rough objectives are:

  • An Association that does all it can to promote motorhomes and their responsible use
  • An Association that is Not For Profit and Free to join
  • One that offers advice to consumers before and after purchase
  • An Association that will go into ‘battle’ for its members’ consumer rights
  • An Association that awards the best dealers and makers plaudits and holds poorer providers to account
  • One that builds an MCA approved list of dealers and fitters who have shown that members can trust them. 

Sounds good to me.

You've filled in a lot of gaps there, LLM. I could see little of that on their website. 

It sure looks promising. Have you joined up?
