Hi All
Just a quick intro, Jacqui and myself have given up the rat race and sold everything and now we are full time caravaner’s hopefully working the summer season in the uk and then of to a warmer winter somewhere. We have a 2019 Coachman VIP 575 matched with a Kia Sorento and all our worldly possessions stuffed in between the two, should have done this years ago

Well done and welcome from a Coachman and Sorento owner. There’s been discussion amongst a few Coachman owners we know about the Dometic loo that the 2019 models have fitted. You need to grease the rubber seals that the grey flap slides into. I use silicon grease about once a fortnight and spray the rods with Thetford silicon spray. This keeps it smooth and easy to slide. See handbook. Don’t forget to drain the hot water every month at least so that a new bubble forms in the tank. Sorry if you already know all this.

Hi there,
Where do you plan on staying for the 6 months in the UK as we have done the same and are busy looking for where we can pitch our van for months at a time rather than paying nightly fees! We thought of taking on a seasonal pitch.
Any advice from anyone at all would be greatly welcomed!
Cheers Helen & Ray
