Defrauded by a motorhome dealership

This week on the Motorhome Matt podcast, we hear a moving story from Clare Howell, who was defrauded by a motorhome dealership. We spoke with Clare a few months ago about "flipping" motorhomes, as Clare was in the process of selling her Etrusco motorhome. Fast forward to now and Clare sold her motorhome through what she believed was a reputable dealer... but she never received her payment.

Clare then discovered that the dealership was at the heart of a large-scale fraud investigation. Listen in to hear about Clare’s efforts to seek justice and how she is navigating this challenging situation.

Next up, our featured product from That Leisure Shop is a bright orange (of course) windbreak from Maypole. This practical accessory is perfect for your outdoor adventures.

Our "Campsite of the Month" segment takes us to Luxembourg, where we explore Europacamping Nommerlayen, a family-friendly site recommended by Alan Rogers.

Finally, we tackle some of your questions in our Q&A. Colin from Harrow wants to know if he can leave his vehicle jack at home if he’s using tyre gel instead of a spare wheel. Alan from Sevenoaks asks about bike racks and their impact on French toll charges, and Tony, who lives full-time in his motorhome, is looking for advice on adding a diesel heater to improve his heating.
