There’s a lot of noise online about Greece shutting its doors to motorhomers—but is it true? In this episode, Matt and Keith separate fact from fearmongering and unpack what the new Greek law actually means for motorhome travellers. We cut through the clickbait to explain the new parking rules, what they mean in practice, and how to travel in Greece safely—and legally.

Plus, we dig into the latest from IQ Mobile—what’s changed with EU data roaming, and which SIM is best for your travels in 2025? And if the idea of streaming telly from a Greek beach has you scratching your head, Matt explains how VPNs can help (without turning you into a tech wizard).

In the Q&A, Matt answers listener questions on fitting Isofix in a Rapido, whether Ford’s known faults are a dealbreaker, and what to think about if you’re planning to go left-hand drive before moving to Spain.

In this episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt and Keith take a frank look at the current state of the motorhome industry. With negative headlines doing the rounds and challenges bubbling up behind the scenes, is it all doom and gloom—or is there more to the story?

From rising demand and stretched service centres to parts shortages and storage site pressures, it’s clear the industry is shifting—and Matt explains why that’s not necessarily bad news. He shares how his own businesses are responding, what he’s seeing on the ground, and what it all means if you’re thinking about buying.

New driving laws in Spain ban the red warning triangles in favour of a clever piece of kit called a V16 beacon. Matt explains what it is, how it works, and why you might want one, whether you’re heading to Spain or not. And if you’re off to the Southern Motorhome & Campervan Show in Newbury, stick around for a discount code that could save you a few quid on tickets.

In the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on whether a 90-year-old can still get campervan insurance, and what to do if the screen price of your motorhome plummets just after you’ve bought it.

In this jam-packed episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, we go live to the Yorkshire Motorhome and Campervan Show, where Matt is joined on stage by Peter Vaughan to unpack everything you actually need — and quite a few things you definitely don’t — when it comes to kitting out your motorhome. From levelling ramps and gaffer tape to red wine corkscrews (because, priorities).

In the news, Matt and Keith share updates on a major story: the Supreme Court’s hearing on undisclosed finance commissions. If you’re thinking about financing your dream motorhome, you’ll want to hear how this ruling could shake up the industry and impact future buyers.

Michael Douglas also drops in to preview the Southern Motorhome and Campervan Show 2025. Expect 60s music, axe throwing, paintballing, cooking demos and over 300 vehicles to explore — plus a handy discount code for your tickets.

In the Q&A, Matt tackles your questions on whether e-scooters are a smart choice for campsite mobility, the key differences between the February and October NEC motorhome shows, and the common confusion around fitting lithium batteries and other upgrades to your van. Are you still legal after those mods? And will your insurance still cover you?

Join Matt as he goes behind the scenes at Fiamma HQ in Milan, uncovering the brand’s 80-year journey from humble beginnings to global motorhome accessory giant—and where the future of motorhoming is headed.

Celebrating eight decades in business, Fiamma has evolved from making wartime gas cookers to becoming a household name for motorhome awnings, bike racks, and more. Charles Pozzi, Co-Managing Director at Fiamma, shares the fascinating story behind the brand, its future ambitions, and why he believes motorhoming is set for a bright future—even as the industry settles into a “new normal.”

Back in the UK, Matt and Keith Gooden dive into major news from Europe: changes to the B driving licence could soon make driving heavier motorhomes much easier. Could Britain be next? Matt shares his predictions.

Plus, with Campervan Campout just around the corner, Matt previews what’s in store—including his talks and Q&As across the weekend—and reminds you to check your insurance before heading across the Channel (with a whopping 15% discount up for grabs).

In this week’s Q&A, Matt helps a listener solve a frustrating fuse problem, recommends a cracking sat nav for your motorhome, and clears up once and for all which MOT class your pride and joy really needs.

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.

This week on the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt and Keith tackle the big question on every buyer’s mind: How much does a motorhome cost in 2025? Matt breaks down what your budget gets you in today’s market, whether you’re eyeing a shiny new campervan or a second-hand bargain. Spoiler alert: Prices have shifted a lot since 2018.

We also head north to Scotland, where the Highland Council has launched a new camping scheme. It promises designated parking spots—but a catch has some motorhomers (and campsites) raising an eyebrow.

Plus, Matt shares a brilliant little gadget that every van owner should carry, and we plug into a festival that blends campervans with proper music and middle-aged dancing—yes, Sarah Cox is involved.

In the Q&A, we answer your questions. Can you store your jump leads in the gas locker? Use your motorhome for work? Sneak through the continent overweight? Matt's got the answers.

In this episode of the Motorhome Matt podcast, we’re tackling an often misunderstood topic—seatbelt use in motorhomes and campervans. 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.
