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.
