From American RV to panel van: Why size matters

from Motorhome Matt · host Matt Sims and Keith Gooden

This week on the Motorhome Matt podcast, Matt and Keith dive into the age-old debate: is bigger always better? Of course, we're talking about motorhomes. From spacious American RVs to luxurious A-class models and nimble panel van conversions, Matt shares his personal journey through nearly 20 motorhomes, reflecting on the trade-offs and lessons learned along the way. They also address some pressing industry news, including the worrying rise of unsafe gas cylinder refilling practices and the challenges posed by the closure of LPG refill stations.  Plus, in our first Alan Rogers Campsite of the Month in 2025, the spotlight is on Camping Jungfrau in Switzerland—a stunning, year-round destination known for its top-notch facilities and commitment to sustainability. In the Q&A, Matt tackles listener questions about leisure batteries, including how to handle smart alternators and the potential of sodium-ion batteries replacing lithium. He also offers practical advice on water heater odours after periods of disuse. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved ⛺️ CAMPSITE OF THE MONTH mhmp.info/alanrogers ❓ ASK MATT mhmp.info/askmatt 🗓️ UPCOMING EVENTS mhmp.info/events 📹 WATCH ON YOUTUBE mhmp.info/watch 💬 LEAVE A REVIEW mhmp.info/review The Motorhome Matt podcast is brought to you by That Leisure Shop, camping and leisure vehicle accessory specialists. 10% off your first order with the code MOTORHOMEMATT.
