Should You Use an Accredited Workshop for Motorhome Servicing?

March 16, 2026 · 24 min

Show notes

When it comes to motorhome servicing, choosing the right workshop can make the difference between protecting your warranty and creating a costly problem.

In this episode, Matt and Keith explore whether you should always use an accredited workshop, such as one in the NCC Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS) or a member of the Motorhome & Caravan Engineers Association (MCEA), and what that actually means for motorhome owners.

Matt sits down with Darren Brown from Reliance to explain how approved workshops are inspected, why more owners are discovering faults on nearly new motorhomes, and what every owner should know before booking their next habitation service.

Plus, the Yorkshire Motorhome & Campervan Show is coming up this weekend, where Matt will be hosting free talks all weekend at the Advice Centre.

Our brand new segment, Five Fun Fiamma Facts, reveals the first product Fiamma ever produced, which gave the brand its iconic name. And it’s not what you might have guessed.

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

  • Streaming UK TV abroad while travelling in Europe
  • Installing an underslung LPG refillable gas tank
  • Whether motorhome upgrades actually increase resale value

If you want clear advice on motorhome servicing, warranties, upgrades and ownership, this episode will give you plenty to think about before your next trip.
