Big news: Van Vibe has just been added to the Motorhome Matt Approved directory.
If that name is new to you, here’s the lowdown on who Matt is, why this matters, and what it means for everyone using the app.
Who is Motorhome Matt?
You might know Motorhome Matt as BBC Radio 5 Live’s motorhome consultant on Wake Up to Money.
He is a core part of the UK’s motorhome community:
- He runs a string of award-winning businesses in motorhome hire, sales and storage
- He writes a monthly column for Practical Motorhome
- He’s a regular face at the UK’s biggest motorhome shows
Through his podcast and his Approved directory, he’s spent years helping thousands of motorhome and campervan owners cut through the noise and make better decisions.
In short, he knows what he’s talking about, and we’re proud to be approved!
What it means to be Motorhome Matt Approved?
It’s a list of the products, services and apps Matt has actually used himself and rates as genuinely worth your time.
Everything from leisure batteries to insurance providers to apps like ours gets the same treatment: a proper write-up, and Matt’s own take on why it made the cut.
On our listing, Matt talks about Van Vibe giving people a place to record their adventures “without all the noise that comes with traditional social media”, and he calls out the privacy controls specifically. You decide if your memories stay yours or get shared with the community. He thinks that’s exactly right.
Why does this matter to you?
Anyone can say their app is great.
Doing so means a lot more when someone independent who is a trusted voice in the community says it for you.
Matt has no stake in Van Vibe’s success. He’s not paid to feature us. He looked at the app, used it, and decided it was worth recommending to his community. And we couldn’t be more proud.
If you’re deciding whether to download, that’s the kind of vote of confidence that actually means something. And if you’re already part of the Van Vibe community, it’s nice confirmation that you picked a good community to be a part of.
A reminder of what you get with Van Vibe
In case you need reminding why Matt rates us, here’s what’s waiting for you in the app:
