What are the best upgrades for the outside of your motorhome, and which ones will actually make life on the road easier? In this episode, Motorhome Matt and Keith get stuck into the top 10 best external upgrades for your motorhome, from awnings and bike racks to solar panels, security and levelling systems. If you're wondering what adds real usability, what improves comfort on the road, and what could quietly eat into your payload and budget, this episode is for you.

Matt shares the upgrades he rates most highly, the ones he’d think twice about, and the common mistakes owners make when they start bolting extras onto their van. Is paint protection worth it? Do you need a reversing camera? Are tyre pressure monitors a smart safety buy or just another gadget to clutter the dashboard?

We also talk about the new National Motorhome, Campervan & Camping Exhibition at Stoneleigh, where Matt is heading for live podcast recordings, expert talks, one-to-one advice clinics and a packed indoor event full of motorhomes, campervans, accessories and special guests.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:

• Repairing a recessed awning gearbox on an Auto-Trail Arapaho
• Whether Pathway 4G gets a usable signal at Greengates campsite
• Choosing an aftermarket tyre pressure monitoring system for a motorhome

This episode is full of practical advice, honest opinion and plenty to think about before your next upgrade. Tune in and let’s make your motorhome work harder, without spending money on stuff you’ll regret later.

Is the motorhome industry in its worst state ever, or are we worrying over nothing?

Prices have surged, quality is under scrutiny, and new buyers are arriving with very different expectations. After years of disruption, from Brexit to Covid to supply chain chaos, has the market finally steadied, or are there bigger changes brewing under the surface?

This week, industry veteran Peter Vaughan joins Motorhome Matt and Keith Gooden to separate perception from reality, drawing on over four decades of experience to answer the question many are quietly asking.

Along the way, we explore how the audience is changing, why van life has gone from fringe to mainstream, and whether manufacturers are really keeping up. We also take an honest look at used values, dealer challenges, and what the future might hold as new players eye up the market.

Plus, a look at the brand new Warners National Motorhome, Campervan and Camping Exhibition at Stoneleigh this April, a day-visitor show packed with hundreds of vehicles, expert advice sessions, and hands-on tech demonstrations designed to help you make better buying decisions.

And don’t miss this week’s Fun Fiamma Fact, where we reveal just how many of their iconic F45 awnings have been sold worldwide.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:

• Do external windscreen covers actually stop condensation?
• Can the Pathway 4G really get a signal where your phone can’t?
• Which gas system makes the most sense for extended European travel?
