Is the motorhome industry in crisis?

VOTE FOR US → mhmp.info/vote

This week on the Motorhome Matt Podcast, join us as we delve into the pressing issues currently shaking up the motorhome industry. Matt and Keith explore the recent spate of dealers going into administration, including Broadlane Leisure and Robinsons Caravans, and examine the factors driving these changes and their impact on the wider industry.

Is the motorhome industry really facing a crisis? And if so, what steps can be taken to address it

Matt takes us on a journey through the supply chain, revealing what the evolving landscape means for consumers, dealers, manufacturers, chassis suppliers, and finance providers alike. We discuss how historical events like Brexit and the pandemic have influenced the present situation, but also recognise that they aren’t the only culprits. Plus, we tackle how rising costs are affecting both new and used motorhomes.

We’re also joined by Simon Howard from Bailey of Bristol, who provides valuable insights into how manufacturers cope with the collapse of a dealership and adapt to shifting market conditions. Simon will share how Bailey handles warranty and servicing transitions and the strategies they employ to manage and distribute unsold stock.

In our Q&A segment, we tackle listener questions: Eddie wonders about driving a heavier motorhome in Europe with new EU regulations, Vince seeks advice on towing a motorbike with an A-frame, and Nicholas queries the future of Auto Gas and the feasibility of using commercial tyres on motorhomes.
