New vs Used Motorhomes: What Motorhome Dealers Really Think


Listen Later

Thinking of buying a motorhome? One of the biggest questions you’ll face is whether to go new or used. In this episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, recorded live at the Southwest Motorhome and Campervan Show, Matt gets into a lively debate with two experienced dealers and a leading industry journalist, each offering a very different take on the question.

Matt is joined on stage by Sarah Foord (Southwest Motorhomes), Tom Lower (Somerset Motorhome Centre), and Peter Vaughan (Out and About Live) for an honest and open discussion about finding the right motorhome for you, the current state of the market, and what every buyer should know before making a purchase.

Back in the studio, Matt and Keith cover the latest news from the UK motorhome scene, including expanded insurance options for campervans and self-builds, and the official opening of That Leisure Shop at Chelston, just off the M5.

In the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on whether campervans are really less prone to damp than motorhomes, how warranty cover works for adapted vehicles, and whether you’re allowed to bring your own food into a motorhome show (you might be surprised).

Whether you’re looking at brand-new models with 10-year warranties or eyeing up a nearly-new bargain, this episode is packed with dealer insight, practical advice, and straight-talking commentary on what really affects motorhome prices, values, and buying decisions today.
