How to Upgrade Your Motorhome Control System with SavvyVan

What if one touchscreen could control your motorhome’s lighting, heating, water, solar charging, and even levelling? In this episode, Matt and Keith meet Simon Knight, the van converter and former cybersecurity expert behind SavvyVan, a British-made control panel that’s changing how modern campervans can be used. It’s customisable, plug-and-play, and is now being fitted in vans across the UK. Also this week, we take a look at what’s in store for the 2026 UK motorhome show season with Warner Shows, including new indoor venues, full-on festival weekends and how to get early access and discounted tickets. And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on: Can you pause a motorhome warranty while it’s off the road for repairs? Is £80,000 better spent on a brand new motorhome or a used luxury model? What tools and spares are actually worth carrying in your van? Whether you're upgrading, converting or just curious about what’s coming next, this episode’s packed with insight you won’t want to miss.
