The Motorhome and Caravan Show 2022: Wandering Bird and The Urban Motorhome

Live from our stand at the Motorhome and Caravan Show 2022, Matt and Keith are joined by both The Urban Motorhome and Wandering Bird! We discuss The Motorhome and Caravan Show, the highs and the lows of motorhoming and the future of the industry.
Darran, known as The Urban Motorhome, has lived full-time in his vehicle for over 4 years. Kat travels in her motorhome across Europe, often with her dog. Both share their experiences on their YouTube channels.
The group share their views, as consumers, on what they think the future holds for motorhome stock and value, although Matt disagrees with the consensus and shares his reasons why. Keith is on hand to keep the chaos on track during a fun and fast-paced chat. Fasten your seatbelt and prepare for the ride!

The Motorhome and Caravan Show 2022: Visitor Q&A

It's the Motorhome and Caravan Show 2022 and we’ve made it to day 4 - just two more days left to explore! Matt and Keith took a moment at the end of Friday to reflect on the show so far. Our highlight is meeting so many of our listeners and discovering that you really do enjoy our ramblings. The low for Matt, on the other hand, was drinking toilet chemical. Honestly, he chose to drink it.
We also answer a few questions at random from the many we’ve been asked this week. Thank you to everyone who took the time to say hi to the team. If you are visiting the show this weekend please visit us in Hall 9, stand 9.32 and grab a goodie bag!

So, what causes damp issues in motorhomes? What are the signs of dampness in a leisure vehicle? How do you fix it and, even better, what can you do to prevent it in the first place?
In this episode, Matt offers his advice based on his years of experience in buying and selling motorhomes and caravans. He is also joined by specialist motorhome and caravan repairer, Miles Bray from MJB Tourer Services. Based near Bristol International Airport, MJB offer damp check and repair services for motorhomes and caravans and we are delighted to have them on board as sponsors of this episode.

Motorhome finance explained

Motorhome and campervan prices have increased significantly in the last few years and visitors to exhibitions and dealer showrooms could be surprised to see 20%+ increases in retail prices on both new and used motorhomes. That means financing your dream leisure vehicle purchase might be something you have to consider to help secure the deal.
But how does motorhome, caravan and campervan financing work? Where do you get it? What deals are out there? What if you can’t afford the repayments down the line? And, crucially, what are the pitfalls? Matt is here to explain all, including important information about rising interest rates and repayments.
Matt is joined by Jason Mawdsley of TMC, a UK motorhome dealership, and Steven Blake from Creative Funding Solutions, the independent financial brokers who specialise in leisure vehicle finance. Matt chats with both about the current and future market and asks Steve why you, as the consumer, should consider finance as a safe and hassle-free route to motorhome ownership.
