Motorhome Warranty Made Simple
Interview at the Season Finale
Autoguard’s New App: A Game-Changer for Motorhome Warranties
A Game-Changer for Motorhome Owners
Autoguard’s New Motorhome Warranty App Explained | Season Finale Interview
As the 2025 Warners Motorhome & Campervan Show season wrapped up at Lincoln, our team sat down with Paul from Autoguard Warranties (the official headline sponsor of the 2025 show season) in conversation with Peter Vaughan of MotorhomeCampervan. The star of the discussion? A brand-new Autoguard App purpose-built for motorhome and campervan owners.
This interview isn’t just a promo — it brings to life the real challenges of warranty claims, the friction points owners face, and how technology (done well) can simplify the process. Below, we explore key insights from the conversation, place them in context of the wider warranty landscape, revisit our earlier analysis in Are Motorhome Warranties Worth It?, and explain why this new app could mark a turning point for owners, dealers, and the show‑going community alike.
Why They Often Frustrate Owners
Why Motorhome Warranties Matter
Before diving into what makes Autoguard’s app special, it’s worth revisiting the underlying problem. At their best, warranties provide peace of mind and financial protection. At their worst, they’re complicated liabilities riddled with exclusions and slow responses.
In our Are Motorhome Warranties Worth It? article, we explored both the value and the limitations of extended cover. Key takeaways included:
- Many warranties exclude habitation components like heating or plumbing, which are common failure points.
- Coverage can be invalidated by missed servicing or owner modifications.
- The claims process is often slow and opaque.
- Owners frequently misunderstand what their policy actually covers.
Recent industry data shows why this matters. In 2025, one of the largest motorhome payouts reached £13,013 for a gearbox replacement — proof that repair bills can be significant. With claims like these, the path from “having cover” to “getting paid” becomes critical.
Enter Autoguard Leisure Care and the New App
Autoguard Warranties, a leading name in UK vehicle cover, is known for innovation. Their Leisure Care division focuses exclusively on motorhomes, caravans, and leisure vehicles. The latest evolution of that focus is the new Autoguard App — unveiled during the Season Finale interview.
The app was designed to simplify ownership and transform customer experience. It allows users to:
- View warranty details in one place
- Start and track claims in real time
- Receive claim status updates (via a clever “pizza tracker” interface)
- Set MOT and service reminders
- Manage multiple vehicles under one login
- Find approved repairers nearby
- Enjoy built-in two-factor authentication for added security
As Paul explains, the app was developed following direct feedback from customers and dealers to make the claims process smoother for everyone involved.
How the App Answers Key Owner Questions
During the interview, Peter Vaughan asks the questions that many owners want to know. Here’s how the new Autoguard App addresses them:

Reconnecting with Warners Shows & the Advice Centre
Autoguard’s presence at Warners Shows throughout 2025 has been more than just branding — it’s been about engagement and education. Through their talks in the Advice Centre, the team helped visitors understand warranty terms, claim processes, and how to make cover work for them.
At the National Motorhome & Campervan Show in Newark, we filmed a discussion titled Are Motorhome Warranties Worth It? which explored the real-world benefits and pitfalls of extended cover. The new app, showcased later in the year, provides a tangible solution to many of the frustrations discussed in that earlier video.
By combining in-person advice with digital innovation, Autoguard and Warners Shows continue to uphold our shared mission: Inform, Entertain & Inspire.
Choosing the Right Warranty:
What Makes a Great Motorhome Warranty?
Every good policy shares a few essential traits:
- Comprehensive coverage — Both mechanical and habitation systems should be included.
- Realistic servicing requirements — Policies should allow flexibility in who services your vehicle.
- Transparent claim process — Quick, trackable, and fair.
- Customer-first communication — Clear updates, reminders, and approachable support.
- Flexibility — Options for multiple vehicles or European travel.
Autoguard’s new app ticks these boxes by combining comprehensive policies with smart digital tools. From the customer’s perspective, the ability to handle claims in real time removes much of the uncertainty that traditionally surrounded warranties.
How to Get Started
It couldn’t be simpler:
- Download the Autoguard Warranties App from the App Store or Google Play.
- Enter your registration and contract number.
- Access all your policy details instantly.
- Submit and track claims whenever you need.
The app is completely free for Autoguard customers and designed to work across all devices.
Security & Peace of Mind
Data protection is a growing concern among owners, especially when personal or vehicle details are involved. Autoguard’s new app features two-factor authentication, meaning users need both an email and SMS verification code to log in. This ensures that only authorised users can access warranty details, giving customers complete confidence in the system.
The Bigger Picture: A Digital Shift for Motorhome Ownership
The launch of the Autoguard App highlights a wider transformation happening across the leisure vehicle industry. From online dealer listings to virtual show tours and now mobile warranty management, technology is reshaping how we buy, use, and maintain our motorhomes.
Warners Shows has always embraced innovation — from introducing the Advice Centre and interactive workshops to livestreams and digital show previews. The partnership with Autoguard Warranties strengthens that approach, offering visitors both in-person expertise and tools they can use all year round.
Looking Ahead
As the 2026 show season approaches, we expect to see even more integration between the physical and digital sides of motorhome ownership. Whether it’s through smart apps, connected service reminders, or online support communities, the future is about making ownership easier and more enjoyable.
Autoguard’s app sets a new benchmark in that direction — a practical, user-focused tool that genuinely enhances the ownership experience.
