New Motorhome TV Channel

[Jim]

Warners are having another go at a Motorhome TV Show. Judging by the trailer, it might be a bit better than their last effort

Well it can't be any worse

I'll be happy if they mention payload just once in their reviews

MMM magazine has created an all-new television show, which will air for the first time on 29 June.

The new series of Motorhome TV will be shown on Monday 29 June at 7pm with a repeat the following Sunday at 6pm on Showcase Sky channel 192.

There are six programmes in total in this first series and each of the subsequent programmes will be aired at the same time on the following five Mondays, and each will be repeated again at the same time on the following Sunday.

This all-new series brings viewers on an exciting and entertaining journey into the world of motorhomes. Each programme explores the lifestyle in a fun, informative and unique way.

All of the six programmes in the series will feature something never seen before in this genre of programmes – advanced CGI graphics in the motorhome reviews to bring to life the layouts in the models being reviewed by MMM’s Road Test Editor, Peter Vaughan.

There will also be motorhome and campervan travel features taking viewers to some of the most wonderful locations in the UK and Europe. In addition, the producers have taken accessory reviews to all-new level in the most exciting, challenging and unique ways.

The series also sees two teams competing in campsite challenges to highlight not only how easy it is to carry out basic campsite tasks – reverse parking, levelling a motorhome, etc – but also how easy it is to drive the latest motorhomes.

The series also talks to genuine motorhome enthusiasts to bring viewers their stories about how they got into this superb hobby and why they enjoy it so much.

Finally, each programme will have a surprise feature – be that a look inside a £250,000 luxury motorhome, an in-depth tour of a bespoke Unimog-based all-terrain motorhome or a gaze into a crystal ball to see what the future of campervanning will look like.

Used to watch it all the time, bit amateurish at times. But got the message across.

[eddie]

Shame their budget didn't stretch to getting Clarkson!

Mind you it would be a very short programe

"You should have worked harder at School, got a decent job so you could afford to fly 1st class round the World to exotic locations, instead of being in a fibreglass delivery van where you defecate into a little plastic pot"

Coming up: Why I hate caravans"

Living in Yorkshire, don't have SKY, can't afford SKY, looks as though I'm not missing much anyway!

You might not have SKY but you have your very own legend.....5 TT wins in a week still unmatched.

It was certainly more professional looking than the previous series and we found it entertaining enough.

As expected, on the test vehicles only the positives were mentioned, no negatives, and no mention of payloads.

 

[Yorkshirelad175]

How do these folks that conduct the reviews on products get their job ?
I’m sure I could do a better job, and I’m a complete novice at motorhomes and accessories ! Think the manufacturers must write their scripts.
They should take a look at Bob Earnshaw on You Tube. He is brilliant and does a proper job.

 

[Lenny HB]

I'll be happy if they mention payload just once in their reviews

Don't be silly that would upset their advertisers.

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

Wonder how many 15 to 20 year old and other aged 2nd hand motorhomes they will look at?
Not everyone will have the money, or I suspect inclination ,to be considering such an enormous expense of new vehicles considering the uncertain employment climate going forward.
Would have hoped / thought that the used market , on a reasonable budget upto 20k would have the potential to attract a lot of newcomers and be the next growth area.
Perhaps they will / do.

Bob Earnshaw could be described in many ways, I am not sure that the word Brilliant however is close to being accurate ...

Think the manufacturers must write their scripts

It seems 9 out of 10 motorhome reviews are just transcripts of the manufacturers blurb

 

[BobtheBass]

There’s no such thing as a motorhome review available in any kind of media, just lists of “features” as provided by the manufacturers. Alan Heath on YouTube is the nearest you will get to an independent reviewer and he has his faults and technical limitations.

 

[ManTheVan]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get this channel on Freesat?

Aye same here just along the valley in Riddlesden.

I know some time has passed since XxAnthxX mentioned TT's but there is one true Yorkshire TT legend and that's DJ (David Jefferies) who was unfortunately killed on the island some years back. He was related to my wife and I was on the IoM when it happened. Went to the funeral in Saltaire only to find the place shut down due to the fans present for the ceremony. Luckily, due to family connection we were able to get into the church. Very sad day.

To be fair, even further afield from Bingley, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are and always have been very well represented in the world of motorcycle racing.....it must be in the water

My current favourite is Dean Harrison and his old man isn’t too shabby in a sidecar outfit either.

Someone's lost the plot.

Well to be honest the ‘plot’ of the advertumentary on tv was sh*te.
