  • How to Stop Bad Smells in Your Motorhome
    Does your motorhome smell bad? You’re not alone.  This week on the Motorhome Mattt Podcast, Matt and Keith dive nose-first into the surprisingly complex world of keeping your motorhome smelling fresh, tackling everything from smelly toilets and stagnant grey water to damp upholstery and wet dogs.  We’ve also got a look ahead to the South West Motorhome & Campervan Show, taking place this September at the Bath & West Showground. Matt shares what’s on, who’s going to be there, and why this local event is one not to miss. In the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on off-grid electrical setups, where to find a good used motorhome on a lower budget, and how to get your van professionally cleaned when your storage site won’t let you do it yourself. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved 🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance 🚐 RV SUPERCENTRE rvsupercentre.co.uk ❓ 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.

  • What’s Happening in the American Motorhome Market?
    🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance In this week’s Motorhome Matt podcast, Matt and Keith head across the pond to take a closer look at the American motorhome scene. Is vanlife booming in the US? And could what’s happening over there be a glimpse into our future here in the UK?  Matt chats with former Winnebago exec turned RV broker James Upham to uncover the latest trends, industry struggles, and what the road ahead might look like. Back on home soil, we dig into the big news from Swift, who’ve posted some eye-watering losses. But are the reasons they’re giving really stacking up? Matt shares his thoughts and gives a behind-the-scenes look at how his own sales at Motorhome Holiday Company are bucking the trend. In the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on A-frame towing in Europe, a puzzling battery issue on a Ford Transit, and whether that handy 4G router will keep you connected on your travels abroad. And if that’s not enough, there’s a sneak peek at one of the biggest motorhome events of the summer. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved 🛒 PRODUCT OF THE WEEK https://thatleisureshop.com/products/lifestyle-kitchen-box ❓ 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.
