New Coachman VIP 565

It's good to hear from someone who has a good thing to say about the quality of their new caravan.

I am pleased to hear you are very happy with your purchase and hope you have many trouble free years of enjoyment from it.

Glad you had a great experience, dont listen to the "prophets of doom" I have a 2008 Coachman Amara 550/5, built like a tank, I bought it 2nd hand off some site wardens in 2010, never had a problem, highest damp reading at last service 40% in front locker, seal worn around grab handles 10 minute fix, rest 25% or below. We have too many cupboards, as only 2 of us many not used, if I had a complaint i would say bathroom is quite small compared to many other vans, but you dont live in the bathroom and it has been adequate on sites just now where you have to use your own facilities, and the drain off from the 2 sinks is at rear of van and runs almost parallel to the underside and level so slow to drain, i just tilt slightly front to back. "External BBQ and electric points are easily accessible and there is easy access to the gas and battery lockers" ditto. Should really down size as only 2 of us now, but love the space. Hope you have many happy days.

Great to hear how impressed you are with your new Coachman. We collected our new Laser 575 Xcel at the end of April and have been extremely impressed with the build quality and overall design. Everything worked perfectly on our first outing. Our only niggle was a faulty in-line fuse in the German manufactured air conditioning unit which our dealer identified before handover and rectified when the part arrived.  We shortlisted the Coachman and a Knaus Sudwind, the Coachman winning out on design. Hope you have many happy adventures to come in your caravan! 

Our last two Bristol made C/vans have been almost trouble free and when there has been a problem it has been equipment bought from EU countries ie fridge and roof strap

And over the many years we have had quite a few LVs of most types ,we have had a couple of really bad ones
