• New vs Used Motorhome: What Should You Buy?

  It’s the big question most of us face at some point: Should you buy a new motorhome or go for a used one? In this episode, Matt and Keith get stuck into the pros and cons of both, from fresh-out-of-the-factory luxury to the hidden perks of a second-hand bargain. We also bid farewell to a familiar face in the industry, as she steps away after years leading one of the UK’s top motorhome brands. Alan Rogers is back with our campsite of the month—and this one’s a stunner. Set in western France, it’s got everything from spa treatments to swim-up rentals. Yes, really. And in this week’s Q&A, Matt answers your questions on winter trips to the Arctic Circle, what licence renewals look like after 70, and whether your driveway can actually handle the weight of a motorhome—especially if there’s a sewage pipe lurking underneath. 🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved ⛺️ CAMPSITE OF THE MONTH mhmp.info/alanrogers ❓ ASK MATT mhmp.info/askmatt 🗓️ UPCOMING EVENTS mhmp.info/events 📹 WATCH ON YOUTUBE mhmp.info/watch 💬 LEAVE A REVIEW mhmp.info/review The Motorhome Matt podcast is brought to you by That Leisure Shop, camping and leisure vehicle accessory specialists. 10% off your first order with the code MOTORHOMEMATT.

With so many newcomers on the road, there’s a lot of confusion about who can sit where, what counts as a travel seat, and what the guidance says. Matt is here to set the record straight, so strap in.  We’ve also got some cracking news from Out and About Live, who are calling on the government to back British holidays. If you care about the future of UK travel and tourism, this one’s worth a listen.  Plus, we’re heading to the South of England Showground for a preview of Campervan Campout with Michael from Warners. There’s chat about music, self-builds and foraging. And in the Q&A, we hear from Bruce in Hull, who’s not happy about a failed reversing camera on his brand-new Adria; Paul in Belfast, who wants to know if licence rules are likely to change; and David in Wales, who’s wondering whether his folded-up bike rack needs a chevron panel. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved ⛺️ CAMPSITE OF THE MONTH mhmp.info/alanrogers ❓ ASK MATT mhmp.info/askmatt 🗓️ UPCOMING EVENTS mhmp.info/events 📹 WATCH ON YOUTUBE mhmp.info/watch 💬 LEAVE A REVIEW mhmp.info/review The Motorhome Matt podcast is brought to you by That Leisure Shop, camping and leisure vehicle accessory specialists. 10% off your first order with the code MOTORHOMEMATT.
