Elddis claims to make the safest motorhomes

Elddis has claimed it manufacturers the safest motorhomes in the UK following the launch a year ago of its ‘Belts = Berths’ motorhome passenger safety campaign.

At the time Elddis was the only UK motorhome manufacturer to provide a seat belt for every designated sleeping berth in every model it produces.
One year on, Elddis says it is still the only UK motorhome manufacturer to provide seatbelts for every passenger.

"Our Belts = Berths crusade is very simple. You would never allow your family to travel in a car without seatbelts, so why would you compromise their safety in a motorhome without seatbelts?" said Elddis Managing Director, Rob Quine.

“It has been a long held belief of mine since my first family trip in a motorhome over ten years ago that it is wholly inappropriate for a responsible motorhome converter to develop and offer for sale, for example, a four berth motorhome which has only two seat belts.

“I only had to see the steam coming out of my wife’s ears and then looked into my children’s eyes when I told them all those years ago that it was a  ‘loophole in the law’ which allowed motorhomes to carry unrestrained passengers to know that my conscience would not allow me to be in charge of a Company that exposes its customers to such potential danger.  It is just wrong!"
