Do it Paul, you’ll not regret it. Manual movers are the best so no worries there. Only thing I would suggest is to make sure the tyres have life left on them (2017 van are potentially made in 2016. Tyres should be changed after 5 years). Could be a good bargaining tool. Good luck 😉
Hi Paul thanks for commenting ☺ yes already thought about that but thanks anyway. There's always something to bargin with I think and will certainly will go over the van with a fine tooth comb. Thanks again Paul.
A fantastic layout and a great van. The outside will clean up! Hope Sarah gives you the go ahead. Looking forward to seeing what happens! cheers, Martin
Hi Mark and Coral thanks for commenting ☺ it's really is a nice van got some concerns with a couple of things but they can be put right. We will have to see. Thanks again Paul and Sarah
Hi Paul .we have the same caravan and layout. It certainly works for us. Get it squared with the boss I’m sure you will both be pleased with the caravan. Thanks for sharing
We have manual movers, no problem at all and less to go wrong. Looks a lovely caravan, same layout as our 650 and you'll have no trouble with the size of the bed, I'm a few inches taller than you and it's good for me. Good luck!
Hi Graham thanks for commenting. The bed is perfect I think I had a sneaky lay on it and it's perfect mind you for some reason and I can't work it out I always end up with my legs hanging off the end of the bed 🤔. 650 is a lovely Van. Thanks again for commenting Graham.
Hi Paul, nice van. No problem with the manual mover, I've always had them on our vans I can't see the point of auto as you only use them possibly 4 times per holiday. we've got a new van on order with twin axle movers and manual.
Hi Peter thanks for commenting. Yeah the manual mover is a big thing for a lot of caravanners. We have automatic one on our van at the moment and they do go wrong 🤬. Thanks again for commenting and supporting the channel 😀 Paul and Sarah
Hi Paul, Nice looking caravan, and good luck with the purchase if management (the wife) gives you the go ahead. PS.......if you 'd like a name for it, I'll ask Jeanette.............. Speak soon and take care both. Steve
Hi thanks for commenting ☺ yeah our Coachman has the island bed but I want to upgrade do fingers crossed 🤞 you never know 😀 thanks for watching and commenting and supporting the channel 😀 cheers Paul and Sarah
Looks a very nice caravan Paul. Think I'm with you with the colour but like you say not sure about the graphics. Hope Sarah likes the caravan and will be watching to see whether you decide to purchase it.
Hi Paul that's tge layout we have on a 2017 van and it works 100% even if we have guests.its manual movers on ours and apart from me not making sure they were engaged properly,one to watch,never had any problems.hope Sarah likes it and you get a good deal.love the colours and graphics(rangers supporter lol).atb
Hi Paul & Sarah yes it’s a lovely van we have a manual mover on our van and it’s brilliant as I’m not the best at reversing the caravan but you however are probably very good being a lorry driver , but the movers do come in handy I even use mine when hitching up . I will be watching with interest to see what decision you both decide 👍😀
Hi Ken thanks for commenting ☺ yes it's a great van. And even lorry drivers take a day off lol I like using the motormover when on site only when it's raining ill opt to back in onto a pitch 🙃 manual ones seem to be a favourite for a lot of people. Thanks again Paul and Sarah
Paul I meant to add my opinion of the manual engage or self engaged movers. My first van was single axel with manual engage and found it worked every time. I changed my van to a twin axel 3 years ago and had quad self engaging motors fitted and have had several issues with it at times where they won’t all engage at the same time or the electrically drop out of sync to the point where I’ve had to manually wind them off. So if I change my caravan whether it be e twin axel or single axel I think I’ll be going for manual engage. Cheers mate.
We were parked behind a coachman like this one a few days ago on a club site in Devon ( also had Sussex logo) the only thing that let it down was the Graphics !.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hi Colin mate thanks for commenting ☺ out shooting Saturday morning. Yeah it's a great van and would be great to own just all have to wait and see 👀 😀 thanks again Colin 👍
Interesting vlog - I think that was a close call! - personally, I don't think you should replace your old caravan with a similar one if nothing's wrong with it - you'll lose out financially - also 'better the devil you know' - ie after living in the new one you may find problems with it. The manual mover is great - just need to remember if parking close to a kerb, you won't get the leverage, but there's another point on the other side you can use instead - well, there is on our Pwrtouch - laters.
Hi Guys thanks for you comments on the video..... All noted and valid points but. We would make more money selling our older caravan than we paid for it. And we just would like a change. But at the moment we are just looking and really value yours and everyone else's comments 😊 thanks again Paul and Sarah
Only down side (for me) is the brand of toilet on that year model. There seem to be a lot of negative comments about them. Coachman have returned to Thetford toilets in later years. (our 2016 year 575VIP has a Thetford toilet). Otherwise it looks like a lovely van. Nice colours.
Hi Neil. Yeah we knew about thw toilet but thanks for commenting about that. It wasn't a deal breaker for us but you see in the next video if we bought it or not. Thanks again for commenting and supporting the channel 😀 Paul and Sarah

Shame it wasn’t cleaned outside before being put on display. Seen a lot of dirty caravans inside & out on display just recently at dealers near me. By the way those green cushions look great against the purple seating. 🤣
🤣👍 lovely colours. In fairness to the dealership the caravan was bought in that day and I k ew it was dirty on the outside I was warned. But the overall look of the van was pretty much OK. Thanks for commenting and watching the channel 😀 Paul and Sarah
As Neil Mackie commented, hopefully the caravan has a thetford toilet and not a dometic version. We had a 2018 575 VIP and had problems with that toilet. Our friend is replacing his dometic for a thetford. Numerous poor comments on various platforms regarding the dometic toilet. I think the VIP is slightly wider than the Pastiche?? Great caravans otherwise. Good luck.
Gorgeous caravan your right we think this is the best layout. Now off to watch your latest video to see what you've decided 😀
Lovely caravan and I really like the colours. Thank you for a great vlog. Liked and subscribed. Best wishes Mike and Donna
Hi Paul
It looks like a lovely van, I’m sure it will be thoroughly cleaned if you bought it, we bought our van from them.
Hi Paul and Sarah another brilliant video again as always
Hi Paul. Interesting and good looking van. Be interested to see what you both decide. Cheers. George and Trish

@@paulandsarahcaravanlife
Hope you pull the trigger on that one Paul.👍
Lovely looking ‘van Paul… ✅ 👍🏻
Would make a great upgrade to your current model for sure, hope Sarah loves it as much as you obviously did… 🤪 👏🏻
Hi Rog mate. Hope your well. If we go for it you'll be the first to know and I'm taking the battery with me off the old one 😆
Very nice looking van Paul. Rear island bed is the best I think also Aldi heating you just can’t beat it. Good luck if you do buy it. Cheers.
Hi thanks for commenting ☺ yeah our Coachman has the island bed but I want to upgrade do fingers crossed 🤞 you never know 😀 thanks for watching and commenting and supporting the channel 😀 cheers Paul and Sarah

Hi yes makes perfect sense 👌 😊
Lovely caravan
We were parked behind a coachman like this one a few days ago on a club site in Devon ( also had Sussex logo) the only thing that let it down was the Graphics !.
Hi Ronald. Yes some of the graphics are a bit out there 😆 you really do need to love the inside of the caravan to except the outside I think 😆
Paul I’m on pins, it’s a lovely van. “Stick to my Guns” have they seen your guns? 😂😂😂 Fingers crossed for you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hi Colin mate thanks for commenting ☺ out shooting Saturday morning. Yeah it's a great van and would be great to own just all have to wait and see 👀 😀 thanks again Colin 👍
