Hi from New Zealand. I love it. The only criticism is the lack of space to prepare food and I was hoping that it would have a click in bench extender like some of them have, but no it doesn't. I guess I would have to put up the main table and use that for prep space. Other than that it's fantastic. I particularly love the ceiling beds that come down at the press of a button.
I had thought it would have needed a second rear axle but I guess it didn’t require it. A great vehicle and not too busy trying to be clever as it were. The garage is a generous size so maybe a few bikes would fit in there, not sure about tie downs but I guess that could easily be sorted. The fact you don’t need to rearrange everything to go to bed is handy too. A well designed and thought out vehicle.
One of the best hidden drop-downs ever, and nice interior design. While the modern Merc chassis commands a higher price, it still seems monstrously expensive.
That is brilliant. What a brilliant machine. Thank you for the video it was great. You should hire one and take it for a trip and make a video about it, I think it would be interesting to see one in use best wishes to you, Nick 👍🛥🚐🚎🚘
Yes please lol. Beautiful. Love how you always say opening windows of course etc. Thats a tell for me when you’re impressed with what you’re reviewing:)
Really do like the layout of this one. Surprised at the aft cabin without the port/starboard side overhead cabinets, but otherwise an outstanding vehicle. Thank you! 🍷
Absolutely amazing I have a Coachman Galleria on a Mercedes chassis 3502 bad America can’t bring these RVs and teach Americans how to build an RV it’s cracking. I love it.
With technology rapidly improving,the use of cassette toilets still baffles me, if i was to spend that kind of money,i would ask for an incinerator toilet. I know it's about cost,but for that price,it should be automatically included.
Lovely motorhome but my only concern would be the stress on the 2.0 diesel engine over a period of time - 3850 kg unladen and a max of 4500 kg fully laden is a hell of alot of weight to be hauling, especially with just the one single wheel axle the handling could be a bit wallowy too.
I think in the EU they do a better job with Vans I have a Winnebago View on the sprinter 1ton chassis about the same length, haul more people, more weight no special license and same price with a slideout which this doesnt have..and sleep 6 and tow a 5000lb vehicle always enjoy these videos
I work at a caravan/motorhome dealership in Norway. I was confused at first because the design of the car in the thumbnail looked very familiar but I have never heard of the brand. I now see that this is manufactured by Kabe in Sweden. Brilliant motorhomes but they are a nightmare sometimes when it comes to electrical issues
Hi Nick, This is empresive the Coachman Travel Master 545 travel 4 guest and sleeps 4 a double bed in the back and the other from the ceiling very nice good size bathroom separated shower and a big garage in the back as well Thank you Nick a great show 👍👍👍👍👍
I have been watching this channel lately and have seen these very expensive motor homes, all of the kitchens are small and no room for preparing food 😊
What would you like to lose to get a larger kitchen in? Smaller bathroom? Smaller beds? Smaller seating areas? It would seem that most people would prefer to keep those things the same size and just use the table if they need a bit more workspace. 🙂
@@MOTAHOLIC some of the van life videos they build really professional looking vans and managed to get the work space for food prep, take a look at them.
@@brianmiles-t1g I'm sure they are, but the question still stands. If you want more kitchen space, what are you willing to lose? Something has to go if you want to repurpose the space, that's just how physics works. 🙂
I never understand why on smaller UK campers they dedicate so much space to a bedroom. That back bedroom would have been better as a nicer seating area and then make the bathroom and kitchen bigger. Then have the back bedroom bed come down from the ceiling as well. No one spends time in the bedroom except to sleep and get dressed, and that is such a small part of the day. UK motorhome makers need to start thinking about the spaces you actually use. If you were a family of four you would end up putting the kids in the back bedroom so you could still sit and enjoy your evening, so that massive bedroom isn't going to be used by the adults who pay for the motorhome.
It's a beautiful vehicle, but at the price point, the inclusion of a TV aerial in the bedroom without either a TV or a wall bracket, is very strange. You'd think that at £132K, buyers wouldn't blink at a bit extra on top for a TV to be included.
@@MOTAHOLIC My admittedly unstated point was that unless they can get the TV and or wall bracket included as an optional extra, the buyer is going to have to drill in to the interior wall to put it up themselves. Do they really want to be doing that to £132K motorhome? And would it invalidate the warranty?
I hear many motorhome dealers are going bust probably because they ain't affordable for the average person and more so in a cost of living crisis , if this was closer to 30k it might be worth a buy unfortunately it's way over priced
@MOTAHOLIC so in the uk a company in the midlands went bust then that Robinson group , think that autocruise got a bail out not sure tho , then you got that unbeatable hire that collapsed, then you got Caledonian campers and conversion collapsed, that's just a few from a simple Google search , I saw a TH-cam video on it when I was thinking about motorhomes , but many are just way over priced, still get the videos on my TH-cam feed
So you've found two in the entire country, one this year and one last year. That's 'Many'? I suspect it would be far more if they took your advice and started selling them for £30,000 - the base cab and chassis from Mercedes is circa £50,000 before you've even opened the doors of your motorhome factory and started work. 🙂
Very nice 'van, but why place the microwave so high. You are 6' 2", apparently, and it seems to be at head height. Us shorties would be reaching above head height to take out a casserole dish of very hot stew. Frightening.
Very clever design and looks to be great quality, but all the beige and high gloss is all a bit dated, these motorhome manufacturers need to employ interior designers with some imagination
Someone else can buy the motorhome and I will give them a gratuity for me to live in the garage. It has all I need. I will eat out and use a bucket. I could put a foldable bike in there as well .
Anyone who passed their driving test prior to 1 January 1997 already has it, and for anyone after that date, it's a small upgrade to a Medium-Sized vehicles. Category D Buses for any bus with more than 8 passenger seats is different again, you'll need one of those to drive a coach.
Considering its size and price, one of the least space efficient and cheap looking interiors I've ever seen. The T482 is far more configured and half the price!
Why the microwave up so high, extremely dangerous and limiting for certain people. They spend all that money on design and build yet forget the simple things.
What a disaster of a kitchen if your cooking and using the sink no place to put even 1 plate !!! To plate up. Then only 120 BHP so under powered for its size and weight it needs a min of 170BHP Another disaster. Making it a big big no go for serious motorhome buyers.

We’ve one on order, genuinely spectacular machine. Completely spec’d for the price, incredible value for money. Thanks for the review.
Fantastic, enjoy! 😃
The best word to describe this is cosy! The finish and ambient lighting is superb!
A very beautiful motor home, well appointed and spacious, love the hidden bed. Great tour Nick thank you.
My pleasure!
Briliant storage solutions on this one! Love the lighting and comfortable interior design. What a lovely space for travelling or just spending time!

Good luck trying to drive that around Wales 😅

Our choice of motorhome, always look forward to your tours and the boats you do , like your take on the things you show us , thank you so much
Glad you like them! 🙂
I absolutely love the use of space. That 2nd bedroom is such a clever use of space.
Love love love it.
That is brilliant. What a brilliant machine. Thank you for the video it was great. You should hire one and take it for a trip and make a video about it, I think it would be interesting to see one in use best wishes to you, Nick 👍🛥🚐🚎🚘
Holy cow, I was NOT expecting the second bed. Superb!
Wow this is stunning live everything about this RV fantastic , love the whole set up ❤❤❤
Everything is fantastic according to you
😂
First vehicle in a while where I've finally thought the price-tag matches what you're getting for it.
Why are RV companies always using small, shallow round sinks for the kitchen? Square or rectangular sinks are so much more practical.
Yes please lol. Beautiful. Love how you always say opening windows of course etc. Thats a tell for me when you’re impressed with what you’re reviewing:)
Really do like the layout of this one. Surprised at the aft cabin without the port/starboard side overhead cabinets, but otherwise an outstanding vehicle. Thank you! 🍷

Nice! Seems bigger inside than it appears from outside.
With technology rapidly improving,the use of cassette toilets still baffles me, if i was to spend that kind of money,i would ask for an incinerator toilet. I know it's about cost,but for that price,it should be automatically included.
That's really nice. Wonderful use of space
The van conversions I've seen recently with full gaming rigs are my go to now.
Another brilliant motorhome Nick 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
Hi nick thanks for your tour though this beautiful moterhome very nice 👌 David 🌟❤️🇬🇧👌👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great review Nick... I love this one.
Im a big fan of Aquaholic and i never knew you had this channell aswell 😊 more videos please
Welcome aboard!
That's a nice bus. Fair amount of space for a van based camper.
Very Nice, Good presentation.
Thank you!
When we win lotto this is the one! Love your tours :) Thanks mate.
Good luck!
Now this is lovely. Ticks all the boxes.
Lovely motorhome but my only concern would be the stress on the 2.0 diesel engine over a period of time - 3850 kg unladen and a max of 4500 kg fully laden is a hell of alot of weight to be hauling, especially with just the one single wheel axle the handling could be a bit wallowy too.
Thank you .I don't drive and will never own a motor home but for some reason l enjoy seeing inside . l guess l'm just sad.
Not at all. 🙂
Id love to see you do a review of an American 45’ Class A Motorhome just to see your reactions to its massiveness.
Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/0yfUxFkcnnY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XXbGBGBMltviJDei
It's a fully four season machine and given the current slump in motirhome sales this particular model can be purchased for under 120k right now.
Another awesome video Nick. I want one lol ❤️🇲🇹
I think in the EU they do a better job with Vans I have a Winnebago View on the sprinter 1ton chassis about the same length, haul more people, more weight no special license and same price with a slideout which this doesnt have..and sleep 6 and tow a 5000lb vehicle always enjoy these videos
I love this van waiting for them to drop below 100k for second hand one to px mine in 😊
Had our for just over a year & we love it
Awesome! 😃

Absolutely stunning 😊
When the market implodes a little more and this gets to 100k I’ll be buying.
Ohhh Coachman! Nice
Nice , i would loose the net curtains tho
Great comments mate 👍 🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
I think it’s great. Brilliant video Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Someday could you explain how the cassette for the toilet works.
It is basically a container that you remove and tip out the contents. If you are a plumber probably no big deal but I would be throwing my guts up.
Hi Nick, This is empresive the Coachman Travel Master 545 travel 4 guest and sleeps 4 a double bed in the back and the other from the ceiling very nice good size bathroom separated shower and a big garage in the back as well Thank you Nick a great show 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
That looks perfect
Nice Nick! thanks
Thanks for watching!
Its a beauty for sure, 🎉
Very posh indeed. I love it
Ideal for UK roads!
Fantastic vehicle
Great content again. Motor homes don’t get the mirror wave?
Beautiful ❤
One double and two single beds would be more useful but a lovely van none the less.
I love this coach
Great motorhome
Very nice 😮
Nick if you just want to drop the van off at mine I can drop you off down to your boat. That’s a fair deal I think. Another great video
🤔
Fantastic 💯

A lot of motorhome but then it’s a lot of money!
Where would the kettle plug in?
Why is the kitchen sink so small n round? Not much work space if cooking for four though but otherwise it's beautiful.
Bellissimo ❤
Blimey would have to be 2 very small people to get in that pull down bed. Didn’t look a double
For this amount of money, who do they supply to empty the toilet? 😊
Newu luck 😊

@@jivebunny3765 No, and no. They'd just ask the dealer to fit it prior to taking delivery.
Where are the electric plug socket for your kettle 😮
I hear many motorhome dealers are going bust probably because they ain't affordable for the average person and more so in a cost of living crisis , if this was closer to 30k it might be worth a buy unfortunately it's way over priced
Really, all the ones I've visited are booming. Which ones, specifically, have gone bust? 🙂
@MOTAHOLIC so in the uk a company in the midlands went bust then that Robinson group , think that autocruise got a bail out not sure tho , then you got that unbeatable hire that collapsed, then you got Caledonian campers and conversion collapsed, that's just a few from a simple Google search , I saw a TH-cam video on it when I was thinking about motorhomes , but many are just way over priced, still get the videos on my TH-cam feed

A washing machine would complete this picture.
Can't believe the poor finish on so many things, the noise of the doors and struggles to open and close doors
Very nice 'van, but why place the microwave so high. You are 6' 2", apparently, and it seems to be at head height. Us shorties would be reaching above head height to take out a casserole dish of very hot stew. Frightening.
That looks about the size of my flat on wheels.
New sub here. Great video.
Welcome aboard!
Nice one Nick but I bet it’s very expensive 😊
Glad you like it. There's a clue to the price in the title..! 😃
Is it sold in the USA?
Very clever design and looks to be great quality, but all the beige and high gloss is all a bit dated, these motorhome manufacturers need to employ interior designers with some imagination
How many people have a c1 licence only a query 🙌
Everybody who passed their normal driving test before 1 January 1997, plus everyone after that date who wants to drive something like this. 🙂
Where would the tv go?
Someone else can buy the motorhome and I will give them a gratuity for me to live in the garage. It has all I need. I will eat out and use a bucket. I could put a foldable bike in there as well .
All you have to do before you can drive that is get your Coach Licence , you can't drive it on a Car Licence
Anyone who passed their driving test prior to 1 January 1997 already has it, and for anyone after that date, it's a small upgrade to a Medium-Sized vehicles. Category D Buses for any bus with more than 8 passenger seats is different again, you'll need one of those to drive a coach.
Considering its size and price, one of the least space efficient and cheap looking interiors I've ever seen. The T482 is far more configured and half the price!
They are down to £119,000
A motorhome like that needs a park like Delph bank touring 5 star park.
So small for 4 people and no real kitchen space. As a single person I would feel claustrophobic in that
Easily resolved, buy a bigger one.
Very nice but no skylight ventilation love a drop donw bed makes up for it lol
£132000 and all you get for that money is two bench seats. I want reclining easy chars. Who wants to sit on a bench all night.
It looks under-wheeled on the back axle
Pretty sure Mercedes Benz know what they are doing... 🤔
Overcab drop-down bed would make this Nick.
Why the microwave up so high, extremely dangerous and limiting for certain people. They spend all that money on design and build yet forget the simple things.
Looks like grandma's bedroom. so depressing.
What a disaster of a kitchen if your cooking and using the sink no place to put even 1 plate !!! To plate up.
Then only 120 BHP so under powered for its size and weight it needs a min of 170BHP Another disaster. Making it a big big no go for serious motorhome buyers.
Will sell my house and buy one😂

nice and big motorhome...but brilliant??? No I am not impressed, seen nothing that says wow. Perhaps brilliant is just your way of saying nice....LOL
