What can the UK motorhome industry learn from the RV crisis brewing in the United States?

In this episode, Matt is joined by US-based consumer advocate Liz Amazing, who’s been shaking up the American RV scene with her popular YouTube channel. Liz has helped owners recover millions in refunds after buying brand new RVs riddled with faults, from water ingress and rotting interiors to vehicles delivered without a VIN number. Yes, really.

Together, Matt and Liz unpack the root of the problem: mass production, cost-cutting, and a profit-first mindset that's eroding build quality across the Atlantic. And with American giants now owning several big-name European manufacturers, Matt asks the all-important question: could the same thing happen here in the UK?

We’re also off to the 2026 Caravan, Motorhome & Holiday Show in Manchester, and Matt shares what to expect and how you can get in for free.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:
How to value your motorhome if you're thinking of selling or upsizing
Whether that thick line of mastic in your £100k coachbuilt should be a dealbreaker
Tips for keeping your water tanks from freezing on cold winter nights

If you own a motorhome, or you’re thinking of buying one, don’t miss this honest, practical look at what’s happening in the industry and how it affects you.
