• From Stents to Surgery: A Serious Turn in Matt’s Heart Health

  This week on the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt shares a dramatic health update that’s set to change the course of 2025, and possibly the future of the podcast. Long-time listeners may remember his heart scare last year, when he narrowly avoided a serious heart attack and underwent surgery to fit stents. But what started with a persistent cough and shoulder ache has now led to something far more serious. In this episode, Matt and Keith sit down for an honest and open conversation about what’s happened since, the warning signs missed, and the major operation now on the horizon.  Joining Matt is bFrank, a wellness duo helping him prepare for his journey to recovery. They dive into some practical, impactful lifestyle changes that can benefit anyone, especially those of us who spend time on the road in our motorhomes, campervans or caravans. From easy nutrition wins to surprisingly simple fitness habits, this is about realistic health advice for real life. And in this week’s Q&A, Matt tackles a hefty fine after a ferry trip, the tricky business of towing cover, and a water system fault that’s raising a few eyebrows. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved 🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance 📲 NORD VPN - GET 4 MONTHS FREE https://nordvpn.com/motorhomematt 🚐 RV SUPERCENTRE rvsupercentre.co.uk ❓ 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.

• How Motorhome Manufacturers Respond to a Market Slowdown

  What really happens to a manufacturer when the motorhome industry slows down? In this episode, Matt sits down with Bailey of Bristol’s Simon Howard for a unique and honest discussion about how one of the UK’s biggest motorhome and caravan manufacturers handles falling demand, overstocked dealers, and nervous buyers. If you’ve been wondering why new motorhomes and caravans are being so heavily discounted—or whether prices might fall even further—this is essential listening. Simon also lifts the lid on how Bailey is rethinking how they build, test, and sell their 2026 models to stay ahead in a tougher market. Also this week, Matt and Keith unveil the £5 gadget every diesel motorhome owner should consider. It could save you from a costly misfuelling disaster. And in the Q&A: Can you keep your GPS tracker powered if your van battery is disconnected? Will the UK driving licence laws finally let you drive up to 4,250kg without taking another test? And is it worth heating your motorhome during winter storage? ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved 🛒 PRODUCT OF THE WEEK https://thatleisureshop.com/products/think-diesel-misfuel-prevention-alarm 🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance 📲 NORD VPN - GET 4 MONTHS FREE https://nordvpn.com/motorhomematt 🚐 RV SUPERCENTRE rvsupercentre.co.uk ❓ 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.
