Hire motorhome destroyed on the NC 500

This week, Matt and Keith report on a shocking incident involving a family on the NC 500 route in Scotland. During Storm Kathleen, their hired motorhome was blown down a cliff by a freak gust of wind, sending them rolling down the hill inside the vehicle.

We're joined by Peter Schmidt, the managing director of Luna Motorhome Hire, who provides firsthand details about the incident and stresses the importance of careful planning and caution when tackling challenging routes like the NC 500.

Plus, we delve into insurance considerations for motorhome owners, offering valuable advice to ensure you're adequately covered for any unforeseen events on the road.

In the news, an investigation has been launched after a motorhome was seen dumping toilet waste on the NC 500 route.

Plus, we have another Alan Rogers' Campsite of the Month! Find out about the winner of the sustainable campsite award, nestled in the scenic Dordogne region of France.

And as usual, we wrap up with our Q&A, where we address your questions about health concerns, headlight deflectors for motorhomes travelling in France and security measures to prevent break-ins.
