Would you know what to do if you found a stowaway hidden in your vehicle? In this episode of The Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt Sims and Keith Gooden unpack the shocking story of a UK couple who returned from France to find a stowaway hidden in their bike rack—only to be slapped with a hefty fine from the Home Office.

Matt explains what unfolded and shares essential advice on keeping your motorhome secure.

Matt also gives an update on important DVLA updates that confused many owners about road tax and weight upgrades. What changed, and how does it affect you? Matt breaks it down, including the ongoing challenges for horsebox and goods vehicle owners.

Plus, in the Q&A, Matt answers listener questions about buying ex-rental motorhomes—are they a smart buy or a hidden risk?—and whether adding a tow bar affects payload capacity. He also reveals a clever way to carry extra gear without overloading your vehicle.
