Are rising tariffs about to drive up the cost of your next motorhome?

In this episode, Matt and Keith unpack how global trade shifts—from the US and China to mainland Europe—could impact prices for UK buyers. Spoiler alert: it’s not all doom and gloom, but there are a few things worth keeping an eye on…

We’re also off to the Dordogne in our Alan Rogers Campsite of the Month, visiting a French gem complete with wine, water slides and potatoes fried in goose fat. Yes, really.

Plus, Matt shares insights from his recent trip to China, including robot delivery cars, BYD electric vehicles and why Chinese manufacturers are so keen to talk to the UK market. It’s a glimpse into the future of global motorhome production.

In the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on how to power an electric bed and coffee machine off-grid, clears up confusion about travelling to Ireland post-Brexit, and explains what to do when cluster flies decide to hibernate in your motorhome’s door seals.
