This week on the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt Sims and Keith Gooden dive into a pressing issue for motorhome travellers: the EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES).

Designed to tighten border security in the Schengen Zone, the system will bring biometric checks and stricter passport controls, but what does that mean for your travel plans?

Matt breaks it all down, offering insights and tips to help motorhomers, caravanners, and campervanners navigate potential delays and make crossing the Channel as smooth as possible.

There’s also exciting news about the Caravan, Motorhome, and Holiday Show in Manchester this January! Matt will be taking to the stage and meeting listeners at the stand all weekend long.

Plus, hear about some clever gadgets for motorhome life that make perfect Christmas gifts.

In the listener Q&A, Angela asks if her trusty pink paper driving licence is still valid for European trips, while Paul seeks advice on the big question: to go big or small when choosing a motorhome. And for the technically minded, John’s query about motorhome tyres leads to a deep dive into replacing them safely and why it’s crucial to get it right.
