This week, we have an exciting and one-of-a-kind episode lined up. Matt and Keith once again dive into the ever-evolving landscape of the motorhome industry, exploring the challenges and changes that have shaped it in recent years. But in this episode, they're joined by the heads of two prominent motorhome dealerships.

As dealerships grapple with closures, fluctuating prices, and a shaky supply chain, the ride has certainly been bumpy since the pandemic turned everything upside down. Matt shares insights from a recent panel he hosted at the Shepton Mallet Show, featuring Sarah Ford, Managing Director of Southwest Motorhomes, Tom Lower, Managing Director of Somerset Motorhome Centre, and journalist Peter Vaughan from Out and About Live. Together, they delve into how the pandemic has transformed the motorhome landscape and the ripple effects they continue to navigate.

The dealers open up about their current struggles and the creative ways they've adapted their services in response to these challenges. They discuss the post-pandemic market shifts, noting that while supply chains are slowly recovering, prices for new vehicles continue to rise.

Despite these hurdles, are they positive about where the motorhome industry is heading?

Matt and Keith also turn their attention to the upcoming Motorhome and Caravan Show, where you can see us at Hall 9, Stand 32 for product demos, friendly chats, and a bit of fun!

As winter approaches, Matt also shares invaluable tips for winterising your motorhome or campervan, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the colder months ahead.

In the Q&A, Matt offers insights on using IQ mobile SIMs for internet access during European trips. He also shares advice on purchasing low-mileage vehicles that may have been sitting on dealer lots and how often you should clean your fresh water and waste tanks.
