Thank you for watching and a good point about the toilet cassette in the awning. Unless its about an even weight balance on the caravan I agree..good point 😊👍
Thank you for watching..it is a small gap but then you gain space elsewhere so it’s a bit of a compromise. I think it depends on how big you are as to how much os a problem space is. Have a lovely week 😊
Morning, we had a quiet one thanks as Jules was working all of it. This week we are working on our garden so that is keeping us busy. 😊 Have a lovely week, weather looks nice 👍
Hi Karina great review just like they always are! Got a lot going on at the moment what with mum and my own health problems which I won't bore you with! Always loved the Coachman, stylish, modern but homey and cosy! Love the colours too, are you sure that's green?! Anyway, hope to see you at the Nec? Only there one day because of my health but hope to see you both and say hello! Take care hugs xxx
Thanks for watching Anne..hope all is ok at home, sounds busy. Yes, I will be at the NEC, probably the first 3 days. Hopefully see you there, take care 😊
They are very nice, but in terms of spec, I am not seeing much difference with the VIP range. Obviously, being a 244cm (aka 8ft) wide caravan throughout the lineup is the biggest discerning factor, but I would expect to see a little bit more differentiation in terms of equipment. That said, if I were to consider a Coachman, it would have to be a non-8ft wide caravan as they are far too wide and restrictive for Japanese roads. When I say 'Japanese roads' I specifically refer to the narrow mountain roads (often single-track or as good as) and narrow rural town and village street roads that you often need to take to get to the campground or RV Park. There are some here who tow large American trailers which are 250cm wide (the maximum allowed by law) and they all complain about the difficulties in towing and finding suitable places to go. Yet, they buy them because 'American is cool' and it is a sort of status symbol. To make things more difficult for themselves, they often choose to tow with grey-import large American trucks (pickups to you and I) or humongous SUVs which are LHD. Japan is a left-hand-traffic country like the UK. The mind boggles...
Thank you for watching and yes, they are pretty challenging on narrow roads. Having had an 8ft wide caravan I have experienced this myself, and narrow gateways on to small caravan sites. Have a great week ahead 😊
Thank you for watching, having had an 8ft wide caravan, and towing it 15000 miles, larger roads are easier. B roads are quite possible depending on their width but you do need to consider your route in rural areas. Access to sites through narrow farm gates tracks are also something to consider. 😊
Hi, we have one, and it really is a lovely caravan. You do have to keep an eye out for overhanging trees, etc, when towing. I managed to score my nearside windows but have since polished them out.
Thanks for watching and yes, if there are more than just a couple then it means walking through a bedroom to get to the loo in the night. I think this layout is best for just couples. Have a good week both of you 😊
Great luxury caravans that leak plus comes with loads of free manufacturer faults that are never ending. Don't waste your money, you will definitely be disappointed with coachman especially after their factory fire and spares take for ever to show up. So so disappointed with coachman
@@elaineswift5343 By your comment I take it you work for Coachman! Our 2023 laser 620 is a nightmare, even the dinning area window fell out!! and all sealer on van resealed, oh not to mention the dealer kept it for 3 months! Don't waste your money.
Love the 545 but why don't they swap the shower and toilet around so the cassette isn't in the awning area
Thank you for watching and a good point about the toilet cassette in the awning. Unless its about an even weight balance on the caravan I agree..good point 😊👍
Because it won’t be in the awning on continental version and they probably sell more there.
I've just bought the 575 laser xtra 2024. I can't wait
Fantastic! You will love it..congratulations on your new caravan.. 😊👍🤩
What are the small panels on either side of the bed ? are they little panels of pockets ?
From memory I think they are panels to soften the interior
In the fiorst van you looked at , did you feel the small gap in between the shower room and the bathroom was a bit narrow ?

Nice 545!

still no slideouts
No..still no slideouts.. 🤷🏼♀️😊
8' caravans for 'a' road, dual carriageway and motorways only.

@KiethWilliams-qe6mh They are nice, and yes, having had an 8ft wide caravan I agree about watching out for those branches 😊
Silly prices now, getting ridiculous , better with good second.
Thank you for watching, yes, prices are going to have to come down or I am sure the market will stagnate. 😊
I really detest the back end bathroom Karina. Not a very good idea if a family of 4 adults go away together.

Sorry to hear you are disappointed with your Coachman. Thanks for watching
I think Swift is worse for faults I wouldn't have a Swift if you paid me. Coachman all the way
