Is VanGuardian the motorhome security product that owners have been waiting for? In this episode, Motorhome Matt and Keith take a close look at a new motorhome alarm system designed to stop thieves before they get into your van.

Matt is joined by Mike Horsford from VanGuardian to find out how it works, why it is getting attention, and whether it could be the answer for owners worried about motorhome security, campervan security, break-ins and overnight peace of mind.

Campervan Campout 2026 is nearly here, and Matt is also joined by Michael from Warners and Simon from Spartan Campers to look ahead to a bank holiday event packed with live entertainment, family activities, self-build inspiration and a strong campervan community feel.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:

• Getting finance for full-time motorhome living
• Air suspension versus hydraulic levelling systems
• A persistent battery beep on a Ford Transit after replacing the batteries

From motorhome theft prevention and campervan events to levelling systems, finance, and real-world owner problems, there’s plenty to learn in this episode.

What are the best upgrades for the outside of your motorhome, and which ones will actually make life on the road easier? In this episode, Motorhome Matt and Keith get stuck into the top 10 best external upgrades for your motorhome, from awnings and bike racks to solar panels, security and levelling systems. If you're wondering what adds real usability, what improves comfort on the road, and what could quietly eat into your payload and budget, this episode is for you.

Matt shares the upgrades he rates most highly, the ones he’d think twice about, and the common mistakes owners make when they start bolting extras onto their van. Is paint protection worth it? Do you need a reversing camera? Are tyre pressure monitors a smart safety buy or just another gadget to clutter the dashboard?

We also talk about the new National Motorhome, Campervan & Camping Exhibition at Stoneleigh, where Matt is heading for live podcast recordings, expert talks, one-to-one advice clinics and a packed indoor event full of motorhomes, campervans, accessories and special guests.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:

• Repairing a recessed awning gearbox on an Auto-Trail Arapaho
• Whether Pathway 4G gets a usable signal at Greengates campsite
• Choosing an aftermarket tyre pressure monitoring system for a motorhome

This episode is full of practical advice, honest opinion and plenty to think about before your next upgrade. Tune in and let’s make your motorhome work harder, without spending money on stuff you’ll regret later.

Organising your motorhome garage. One minute your kit is neatly packed, the next your levelling ramps have vanished, the chairs are trapped, and you're lying three feet deep under bags of stuff, wondering where it all went wrong.

This week, Motorhome Matt and Keith Gooden look at an innovative motorhome storage solution that could change the way you organise your van. Is this the answer to cluttered lockers, wasted space and garage chaos?

Matt is joined by Mark Vincent from Starflex UK to explore a modular storage system that is already catching the eye of motorhome owners across Europe. From smarter bike storage to practical shelving and easier access to everyday kit, this is one of those products that makes immediate sense the moment you see it.

Plus, we take a look at the new indoor Warner show at Stoneleigh, running from 17 to 19 April, with live podcast recordings, expert advice sessions and a ticket discount code for listeners.

There is also a 20% off Fenwick’s promotion at That Leisure Shop, ideal for anyone getting their motorhome cleaned up and ready for the season ahead.

And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on:

• Longer European motorhome insurance cover
• Choosing the right first motorhome when you are new to the lifestyle
• Restarting a motorhome after winter storage

With fresh industry insight and real-world experience, we cover plenty in this episode. Tune in and see if this could make your next trip a lot more organised.
