  • New Motorhomers..

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for some time (including the previous episodes I’d missed), as I researched which motorhome we wanted and have found the information provided to be accurate and so very helpful. We are now three months in to motorhoming and loving it. We feel confident about looking after the inside and outside of our outfit and have, thanks to this podcast, avoided most - but not all - rookie mistakes! The warranty info is beyond helpful and we are hoping Ripe will be able to... more

  • Informative pod, great way of putting across the points BUT, too many adverts inside the pod. Effectively shortens the pod to about 15 mins max!

    I'm sure it helps pay for it, but does spoil it for me.

  • Brilliant source of information

    What a fantastic show, balanced and informative and really has something for everyone from the seasoned motorhome owner to those looking to get in to owning one, I like the fact they put the information across in a lighthearted way but give you the key points to follow. If you own a motorhome or caravan, this is the show for you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Motorhome Road Trip Inspiration with Robbie Roams
Q: Elaine Brown asks for advice on a 6.4m van with a rear lounge and garage and recommendations on models like the Consort Oslo.
Megamobile is suggested as a dealer with a similar rear-lounge layout, noting distance but highlighting build quality and a showroom model they sat in at an NEC show.
Motorhome Road Trip Inspiration with Robbie Roams
Q: Daryl Carter asks whether weighing functions give you individual axle weights or just total weight.
The AMPLO system weighs the front and rear axles separately and provides the combined weight, addressing the need for per-axle data to ensure compliance.
Is This the Best Motorhome Security Alarm for Stopping Thieves?
Q: What happens if your air suspension blows a bag?
Air bags are durable but can be replaced if damaged; have a spare bag ready and replace the faulty bag, as part of standard maintenance and warranty planning.
Is This the Best Motorhome Security Alarm for Stopping Thieves?
Q: Can I get finance for living in a Motorhome full time?
Finance penetration is increasing; lenders may want a physical address and evidence of steady income, and living in a van can complicate approval, so have a stable address, be on the electoral roll, and show a couple of pay slips or a new salary to demonstrate affordability.
Are Your Motorhome Electrics Safe Without an Earth?
Q: Do you need to stick a rod out of the van and connect it to earth when camping?
Not if the van is connected to a campsite power supply; earth comes from the external post through the supply, and the vehicle's system is bonded to earth via the inverter and chassis when designed properly.
