Is the Motorhome Industry Really in Trouble Right Now?

Is the motorhome industry in its worst state ever, or are we worrying over nothing?

Prices have surged, quality is under scrutiny, and new buyers are arriving with very different expectations. After years of disruption, from Brexit to Covid to supply chain chaos, has the market finally steadied, or are there bigger changes brewing under the surface?

This week, industry veteran Peter Vaughan joins Motorhome Matt and Keith Gooden to separate perception from reality, drawing on over four decades of experience to answer the question many are quietly asking.

Along the way, we explore how the audience is changing, why van life has gone from fringe to mainstream, and whether manufacturers are really keeping up. We also take an honest look at used values, dealer challenges, and what the future might hold as new players eye up the market.

Plus, a look at the brand new Warners National Motorhome, Campervan and Camping Exhibition at Stoneleigh this April, a day-visitor show packed with hundreds of vehicles, expert advice sessions, and hands-on tech demonstrations designed to help you make better buying decisions.

And don’t miss this week’s Fun Fiamma Fact, where we reveal just how many of their iconic F45 awnings have been sold worldwide.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:

Do external windscreen covers actually stop condensation?
Can the Pathway 4G really get a signal where your phone can’t?
Which gas system makes the most sense for extended European travel?
