from Motorhome Matt · host Matt Sims and Keith Gooden
Looking to upgrade your motorhome or campervan without blowing the budget? In this episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt and Keith reveal 8 of the best motorhome upgrades for under £1,000, covering everything from lithium leisure batteries and solar panels to air ride suspension, mobile internet, and more. Whether you’re chasing better off-grid performance, a smoother ride, or just a comfier night’s sleep, these cost-effective improvements could seriously level up your van life. Matt also dives into the pros and cons of trackers vs alarms, why camper-specific tyres are worth it, and how a solid motorhome warranty could save you a small fortune. Plus, there's a sneak peek at the Manchester Caravan, Motorhome & Holiday Show 2026, where Matt’s taking the stage with expert talks on European travel and spring prep. And yes, discounted and giveaway tickets are still up for grabs. In the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on CRiS registration, VIN Chip tracking, why insurance quotes for Ford-based motorhomes are getting trickier, and whether a solar panel can keep your motorhome battery topped up during a UK winter (spoiler: it’s not that simple). Real questions from real listeners, with answers you can actually use. If you own a motorhome, campervan or caravan, or you're thinking about buying one, this is the down-to-earth, expert advice you need before your next upgrade.
