  • Inside Fiamma HQ: The Past and Future of Motorhoming
    Apr 28 2025

    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.

  • New vs Used Motorhome: What Should You Buy?
    Apr 21 2025

    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.

  • How Much Does a Motorhome Really Cost in 2025?
    Apr 14 2025

    🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance

    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.
