• Driving Around the World in a 20-Year-Old Motorhome: Tread the Globe’s Epic Journey

  Ever wondered what it takes to drive around the world in a motorhome? In this episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt chats with Chris and Marianne from Tread the Globe, who left behind the 9-to-5 to explore the planet in their 20-year-old Fiat Ducato Adria Twin campervan. What began as a European road trip soon turned into an epic and inspiring global adventure across continents, weather extremes, and even a lockdown in a Turkish car park. They share how they prepared their van for long-distance overlanding, how they handled complex travel logistics like motorhome insurance abroad, and how their YouTube channel accidentally turned into a global community, with real-world impact. Think: saving sea turtles, inspiring thousands, and proving you don't need the latest van to live the dream. Matt and Keith also tackle your listener questions, including how to measure the true height of your motorhome, whether there are cleaner, greener ways to dispose of black and grey waste in van life, and a great story about affordable new-for-old motorhome insurance that might save you money. Plus, get a glimpse at what Chris and Marianne have planned next, a multi-year overland trek in their new truck camper, Trevor. This one’s got inspiration, insight, and just enough chaos to remind you why we all love life on the road. ✅ 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 ❓ 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.

• What’s New for Motorhomes in 2026? Live from the NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show

  Coming to you live from the NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show 2025, this week Motorhome Matt and Keith dive headfirst into the future of motorhomes, uncovering what’s new, what’s changing, and what’s still missing from the industry. From clever new layouts to bold rebrands and fresh construction techniques, we explore the big moves shaping 2026, and where manufacturers might be falling behind. We caught up with some of the biggest names in the business to get their take on what’s ahead and innovative features at the show: Rob Dyer from Southwest Motorhomes talks real off-road potential with a VW-based 4x4 from Dethleffs that’s more than just a showpiece. Bürstner turns heads with a six-metre 4x4 camper and a clever sliding bathroom pod that transforms the space. Mike Lake at Aura explains how customer-led design (and thousands of fabric combinations) is fuelling their rapid growth. Adam Carmichael from Elddis reveals a new construction system that’s revolutionising their range. Geoff Scott at Auto-Sleepers lifts the lid on a major rebrand, factory expansion, and plans for their 65th anniversary. Mel Savage from Ripe shares how they’re making policy updates quicker and simpler for owners. Jody White from Hybridge Caravans takes on a 24-hour, factory-to-factory charity mission—with Loch Ness as the backup plan. Paul Kirby questions the industry’s electric vehicle readiness and why time is running out. Ryan Bowditch from Ford tackles wet belt concerns head-on and explains how Ford reached 25% of the UK market. Four years on from our first episode, we’d like to say a huge thank you for all the support, kind words, and conversations along the way. The motorhome community really is something special, and with everything we’ve seen at the NEC, 2026 could be the most exciting year yet. ✅ MOTORHOME MATT APPROVED Services, products and educational resources used and approved by Motorhome Matt mhmp.info/approved 🛡️ 15% OFF INSURANCE mhmp.info/ripeinsurance ❓ 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.
