Top 10 Motorhome Exterior Upgrades Worth Buying

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.
