Which Coachman

Thought this was worth an update. After being convinced on here that the payload was not adequate I went back to the very reputable supplying dealer, Whitfors in Burnley and asked them their opinion. The answer was, well it all depends on how much crap you want to fill it with, from our 2022 allocation you are only the second person to have asked this. Why don't you see how you get on and if you feel you need the upgrade then get it done. I said well surely this needs to be done during manufacture, the answer was no you have 12 months from new to decide if you want an upgraded plate.

So that is what I will be doing.

We just ordered a 2022 Coachman Acadia 575. Like you, we looked at the difference between it and the VIP and could not justify the £3-4k price increase. Some changes to sky lights etc. We liked the 8ft models but access to my storage location would be a limiting factor. Coachman seems streaks ahead of Bailey and we were not overly impressed by Elddis offerings this time.

Saw the low payload weight and already requested the uprated plate. Its a no brainer with the changes to B+E licences. We are downsizing from a 6 Birth Xplore to the 4 Birth Coachman so we see a payload reduction, however we rarely take more than 1 day of food with us.
