How Motorhome Owners Are Changing Their Holiday Habits

Are we becoming a nation of mixed-up holidaymakers? In this episode, Matt and Keith look at how motorhome travel trends are evolving, and why more owners are combining van life with cruises, flights, city breaks and even remote working abroad. If you’re wondering how to get more from your motorhome while still enjoying the occasional hotel stay or overseas break, this one will strike a chord.

Fresh from a recuperative cruise, Motorhome Matt himself reflects on how travel has shifted, not just personally but across the wider leisure industry. At the Manchester Caravan, Motorhome and Holiday Show, where leisure vehicles sit alongside global tourist boards and cruise operators, it’s clear that touring is no longer an either-or decision. People are blending experiences.

You’ll hear from travel journalist Simon Calder, show organiser Ben Myatt, Kathy from Barefoot Caravans, Luke from the Motorhome Matt team, and industry veteran Peter Vaughan, each offering a perspective on how habits are changing and what that means for motorhome owners.

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

Using an A-frame to tow a car in France
Understanding 3.5 tonne weight limits in France
Whether dogs are allowed at the 2026 Warners Shows.

If you want to make smarter decisions about how you use your motorhome and where it fits into your wider holiday plans, this episode will give you plenty to think about. Tune in and see how your next trip might look a little different.
