Description

It’s the big question most of us face at some point: Should you buy a new motorhome or go for a used one? In this episode, Matt and Keith get stuck into the pros and cons of both, from fresh-out-of-the-factory luxury to the hidden perks of a second-hand bargain.


We also bid farewell to a familiar face in the industry, as she steps away after years leading one of the UK’s top motorhome brands.


Alan Rogers is back with our campsite of the month—and this one’s a stunner. Set in western France, it’s got everything from spa treatments to swim-up rentals. Yes, really.


And in this week’s Q&A, Matt answers your questions on winter trips to the Arctic Circle, what licence renewals look like after 70, and whether your driveway can actually handle the weight of a motorhome—especially if there’s a sewage pipe lurking underneath.
