- 📶 PATHWAY 4G Gen 2 HAS ARRIVED
thatleisureshop.com/pathway
Why do so many campsites insist on a 2pm check-in when the last guests have already left? Is there a good reason, or is there more to it? And if you're choosing a TV for your campervan, is the latest all-in-one solution really worth the money?
In this episode, Motorhome Matt and Keith tackle another packed mailbag, answering your motorhoming questions on everything from campsite check-in times and campervan technology to buying an older van and keeping it running reliably. Along the way, Matt shares the latest industry insight into Fiat's extended warranty changes and what they could mean if you're taking delivery of a new motorhome.
This week's featured event is the Norfolk Motorhome & Campervan Show, taking place from 17 to 19 July at the Norfolk Showground, with discounted tickets available using the code MOTORHOMEMATT.
Plus, we're joined by Steve Blake from Motorhome Finance for a brand new Finance Fact or Fiction segment. In our first instalment, we explore how old a motorhome can be before finance is no longer an option, and whether the limits are really as strict as many buyers assume.
If you're buying, upgrading or simply trying to get more from your motorhome, this episode is packed with practical advice, honest opinions and real-world experience. Join Motorhome Matt, Keith and us for another edition of the Motorhome Matt Podcast.

The best apps for motorhome travel can save you time, money and a great deal of reversing. But which motorhome apps should you actually trust when touring the UK and Europe?
In this episode, Motorhome Matt and Keith put the most useful motorhome travel apps under the spotlight. From motorhome sat nav and route planning to campsites, stopovers, parking, fuel and life on the road, we look at which apps deserve a place on your phone, where their limitations lie and why relying on the wrong one can quickly make a journey rather more interesting than planned.
Which apps do we use ourselves? Can a phone really replace specialist motorhome navigation and printed touring guides? And which popular apps could help you find places you might otherwise drive straight past?
Plus, That Leisure Shop has partnered with Vicarious Books, bringing its popular motorhome and European touring guides to you.
We’re also joined by Peter Vaughan to look ahead to the Norfolk Motorhome and Campervan Show and the Out & About Live summer party.
And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:
Motorhome window failures and warranty cover
Keeping a starter battery charged while your motorhome is parked up
Retrofitting an external barbecue point
