LIVE Q&A at the South West Motorhome and Campervan Show

[@jowoolnough2123]

Good show guys loved being there for it x

[@MotorhomeMatt]

Thanks Jo. Lovely to see you and Andy. Thanks for your questions x

[@Phil.O.Sophical]

Hi Matt, enjoyed listening to your live Q&A. We have gasflow refillable and when planning get aways I make a note of filling stations were LPG can be got on route and call in and top up, regardless of gas level. This I believe is the biggest advantage over replacement bottles. Ps. Called into your shop today (Monday) with autograph book in hand, I should have known better than to expect a podcaster of the year nominee to be waiting behind the counter all day just incase a fan showed up. No doubt I will have to wait for Keith’s memoirs to be published “The Gooden, the bad’un and the ugly truth” to discover if your new found celebrity status has changed you at all.😂Keep the podcasts coming, Phil.

[@MotorhomeMatt]

Refillable gas can indeed be very convenient and much cheaper than Calor etc. thanks for watching and for popping into the shop! So sorry I missed you! Love your idea for Keith’s book! Will pass that suggestion on. It would of course be a great colouring book! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks very much for your kind words and encouragement. No change or celebrity status from me. Just grateful to still be able to wake up and get myself dressed.

[@Phil.O.Sophical]

More than happy to discuss copyright fee over the book title with Kieth, no doubt payment would be made in crayons 😮

[@MotorhomeMatt]

More likely a pot noodle if Keith’s paying

It’s not freezing of Butane (

[@MotorhomeMatt]

You’re quite right of course. If you have a bulkhead regulator the little CG tap adapter is ideal to screw into a butane pigtail end. Thanks for watching!

Matt, we were tginking of a trip to either Western super mare or Brean sands, but had a look for possible sites. There doesn't seem to be many to choose from, have you any recommendations. Regards Sam-Cannock

[@MotorhomeMatt]

Lots around Berrow and Burnham. Or Brook Lodge near Bristol Airport is great!

[@derekbull7386]

Never mind about gas, lets go full electric, easily done,safer,and not much more,cost wise!!! Induction hobs,air fryers and the same!!!

[@MotorhomeMatt]

And free if charging from solar!

[@devon_skylark]

We are an all electric campervan, including the motor.

[@MotorhomeMatt]

That’s great to hear. What would you say to the doubters? Thanks for commenting

[@derekbull7386]

@@MotorhomeMatt The Doubters must go with the Flow!!

[@HeatherLyons-j8d]

Has anyone thought of people with pacemakers? They apparently should not use halogen rings for cooking.

[@MotorhomeMatt]

Taken from BHF website… Induction hobs do generate electromagnetic fields, so keep a distance of at least 60cm (2ft) between the stovetop and your pacemaker. Most people should be able to use a hob if they follow these precautions, but if you are choosing a new cooker, it may be easier to pick one that is not an induction hob.

Hi Matt, I know you're a busy man - you were going to check, a while ago, on the legality / MOT situation for upgrading the useless Fiat projector headlamps to led. Many thanks.

[@MotorhomeMatt]

I did ask Fiat and our MOT tester. Didn’t get an answer. I’ll try again!

[@bigalb1913]

Matt, my mistake here - although it's a Fiat engine / gearbox, the headlamps on closer inspection say 'Hymer'. My van is an A class Hymer Exsis.

[@MotorhomeMatt]

So yours are indeed Hymer made and fitted aftermarket as part of the conversion by Hymer. Makes this tricky!

[@bigalb1913]

Yes, they are the Hymer 'teardrop' shape

[@timnorton6522]

Matt, I saw you at this show and said Hi and you ignored me! Cheers for that.

[@MotorhomeMatt]

Oh no I’m really sorry! Please forgive me! I was probably thinking about my tea or my bed! Hope to say hi at a future occasion

[@delwalker6336]

Get a Toyota hybrid Keith we've got one it's fantastic and I was dead against it!

[@MotorhomeMatt]

We have a Yaris on the family car fleet! It’s Hybrid and we love it. I’m working on Keith too tho he needs a big car for his pot noodle selection

[@delwalker6336]

@@MotorhomeMatt that's funny! Got an old campervan with a tow bar I've seen the adapter things you slot different bits in tow bar and a thing for putting carrier boxes on. Who do I ask to get advice Matt? Perhaps you could do it on you tube ? Ta

[@delwalker6336]

@@MotorhomeMatt put some solar panels on it he won't be able to resist it!

[@MotorhomeMatt]

Try a towbar specialist for advice on options. LNB Towbars or TowTal may be able to help

[@derekbull7386]

Campervans are well overpriced!!!?

[@MotorhomeMatt]

In general or specific models?
