CAN I FIT A SEATBELT TO THE BENCH SEAT IN MY CAMPER?

Q I have just purchased this Transit camper conversion (1) and I am finding it a bit of a minefield locating anyone who can do work on it.

My campervan has two seats in the front, with a bench seat behind that does not have a seatbelt (2).

I was recently advised by a seasoned and very knowledgeable motorhome owner, whom I met on my travels, that with campervans, it is not a legal requirement to have a seatbelt fitted on the bench seat.

In the short term – before I get the seatbelt fitted – are you able to confirm that this is indeed the case?
