Law on seatbelts in motorhome

Seat belts, if fitted, must be worn. If they're not fitted, it's perfectly legal to carry passengers in the back. Whether this is wise or not is a separate issue.

complex answers here:

Yes (and yes).

I don't think you can in a caravan, but in a motorhome?

Anything except a caravan.

I'm looking at one that has some seat belts in the rear but not enough for all the people for whom there is room.

Id expect to have as many seatbelts as berths, unless there are some inward facing (sideways) seats.

Starting from the bottom paragraph of page 3.

Your log book will state how many seats it has. This is the number that the insurance will use. Exceeding it will reduce your insurance to RTA and they will then collect all the costs from you.

The days of having 6 free range kids in the back of a VW camper, on loose cushions are over.

When the laws changed my dad stopped fitting the back row of seats in his 11 seat Commer minibus. The seats were out most of the time as it was used for deliveries during the week.

Not one of my V5C collection - including either camper van - says how many seats are in the vehicle.
