2025 Wrap: Motorhome Market Trends, Dealer Struggles & 2026 Predictions

The motorhome world is changing fast. In this episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt and Keith reflect on a turbulent but revealing year for the motorhome industry in 2025, and look ahead to the changes, challenges and opportunities coming in 2026. From faltering dealers to shifting buyer habits, it’s a frank, insider look at where the market stands, and where it could be heading.

Why are some long-standing dealerships struggling or even closing? What’s behind the drop in impulse buying, and how are today’s better-informed buyers forcing the industry to adapt? Matt unpacks it all with the kind of no-nonsense insight you won’t hear from the showroom floor.

Looking ahead, they explore what 2026 could mean for UK motorhome owners, from major changes to driving licence rules and van weight limits, to the looming EU travel changes like the Entry/Exit system and ETIAS visa waivers. If you’re planning to buy, sell, travel or simply stay ahead of the curve, this one’s for you.

It’s everything you need to understand the current landscape, make smarter decisions, and get the most out of your motorhome in 2026.
