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.

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. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved 🛒 PRODUCT OF THE WEEK www.thatleisureshop.com ⛺️ 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.
