Is it all downhill from here for motorhomes? 👇

RV buyers are battling serious faults in the US: walls falling off, VIN numbers missing, and water ingress that ruins brand-new vans.

The worst part? Manufacturers often go silent, fearing lawsuits.

Now the same big US firms behind this mess own several major European motorhome brands.

🚨 So are we next?
Maybe not yet, but we’re seeing the early signs: cheaper materials, cost-cutting, and a shift in priorities from quality to profit.

I spoke to American RV advocate Liz Amazing about what’s happening across the pond, and what UK buyers need to watch out for.

📡 Don’t Google “lick and stick”...

But if you want easy, no-drill WiFi in your motorhome, the Pathway 4G might be the answer.

Plug it in, pop in a SIM, and stick it to the window. No holes. No hassle. Just internet.

🚛 Upgrading to air suspension transformed the ride on my van.

More stable, smoother, and less rear-end sag. It even helps level the van when parked.

🛠️ Usually £1,200 fitted, but drop MOTORHOMEMATT when you contact Airide and get £200 off.

Are Ford Transit motorhomes easier to steal? 🚐

Trackers are often required on higher-value vans, but from what I've seen in the trade, insurers seem to look extra closely at Transits 👀

💡 It’s not official, but it’s a trend worth knowing if you're shopping for cover.

🛏️ You deserve better.

I upgraded to a Jonic mattress and it’s the best sleep I've ever had.

😴 If your hips ache or you’re waking up groggy on tour, this might be the best upgrade you ever make.

🛞 What tyres should you use on your motorhome?

Your van’s always at weight. Always under pressure. Camper-spec tyres are built for it, with tougher sidewalls, all-season tread, and better long-term durability.

💡 Cheap van tyres = cracked, bulging sidewalls. Not worth the risk.

🚨 Your Motorhome Tracker Might Be Useless in Europe 🇪🇺

3G is gone. 2G is going. And your tracker? Could stop working abroad.

That means no alerts if your van’s stolen, and maybe no insurance cover either.

Heading to Europe in 2026? You need to hear this.

🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube for the full list of must-do upgrades and what to check now.
