In this episode of Motorhome Matt, travel expert Simon Calder joins Matt to share his thoughts on motorhomes, European travel rules, and the latest disruptions in the travel industry. While Simon loves the idea of adventure, he reveals why his own motorhome experience was short-lived. What went wrong? Tune in to find out.

Simon also unpacks the upcoming ETIAS and EES travel regulations, explaining how they will impact motorhome travellers heading to Europe. With rumours of delays and confusion over what’s required, will these rules actually come into effect soon, or is it all just unnecessary panic?

In the news, Matt and Keith discuss a major gas recall, exclusive discounts for the NEC Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2025, and a stunning campsite in Portugal that could be your next dream destination.

And in the Q&A, Matt tackles your biggest motorhome questions. Can you legally run a diesel heater from an external fuel tank? How do you fix a jammed Thetford toilet flap? What’s the process for upping a motorhome’s weight limit? He’s got the answers.

This week on the Motorhome Matt podcast, Matt and Keith dive into the world of energy management on campsites, busting myths and discussing how things are changing to meet the growing needs of motorhome and caravan enthusiasts.

Matt chats with Harry King from MetPow, a company transforming how campsites manage electricity with smart, pay-as-you-go systems. Harry sets the record straight on the myth that campsites are profiting massively from electricity, and explains how these new systems give campers control over their energy use, encouraging smarter choices and lower costs.

Expect some eye-opening insights into how increased transparency around energy use benefits both campsites and guests, all while helping to protect the planet.

Plus, in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on the best fridge for hot climates, top anti-theft devices for your motorhome parked at home, and the best sat nav for your European adventures.
