Hi All
Quick introduction, we are Phil & Tracy and are coming back to caravanning after a 15 year break. This time it should be different being a couple rather than a family.
So, after looking at the price of nearly new 2 berth caravans and doing alot of research before even setting foot in a dealership, I had decided on a brand new 2022 Coachman VIP 460. So off I went to my local dealers and they had the VIP and Acadia 460 side by side, I decided that I just could not warrant the extra £4k on the VIP over the Acadia. So I have come away ordering a new Acadia 460
Yes the VIP is nicer in places and there are obvious differences where some of that money has gone on, but working in manufacturing myself it is quite obvious that Coachman have de-specced the Acadia on item's that would lierally cost a couple of quid to add during manufacture (the obvious one being an extra plug socket and sockets don't have USB).
To be honest if I had never been in the VIP, I would have thought the Acadia was the top of the range. I am very happy with the decision I have made, but to all of you out there with much better knowledge, am I missing something ?
Look forward to receiving your comments.
BTW already have 33 nights booked for next year.
