    Usual excellent review thank you. This coach is built by Kabe as you said. With the additional cost of the coachman set up and profit margin to allow for, it would in interesting to see the comparative case for simply buying a Kabe.

    We placed an order with 200 others at the NEC on the smaller one. Advertised, marketed inc website and verbally at 8m, in fact it’s a lot bigger so us and others had to cx. Sad because they are superbly impressive vehicles, I love the look of this one. Just a bit of common sense missing, bathroom toilet height and useless sink, loo roll holder, PIR bedroom alarm, and no external BBQ point. The oven is actually dangerous at that height. Do love it though, a lot of spec inc.

    Great review Peter, looks well screwed together but I didn't like it. Issues for me were small oven and no grill also thought the fridge freezer would have been larger. AGM batteries instead of Lithium and the height of the toilet is unacceptable. Cheers K.

      Very few have marine loos in Europe because emptying is more difficult on campsites. Look at our review of the GlobeTraveller Falcon for a better toilet system.

    @justinlinnane8043 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Impressive but I run a 1982 Hymer 900 ( 9 metres long ) which is longer and wider (247cm ) and feels much more spacious inside than this .The only lifestyle improvement is splitting the shower and toilet to either side allowing a proper full beam washroom . Also it would be nice to have that insulation and a double floor !! Apart form that I'll keep my forty two year old 900 thanks !! Although 100K will buy you a last of the line nine metre N+B clouliner which would be nice !!

    I had a 2012 Burstner Elegance i890G and it was almost identical to this van (albeit with Fiat Ducato 30TD Alko chassis) with most of the features, either my Burstner was ahead of its time or this Coachman hasn't moved the game on 🤔

    • @MotorhomeCampervan
      @MotorhomeCampervan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No heated floor or standard levelling in the Bürstner, nor the clever use of the double floor. The Coachman is not revolutionary but it has lots of good features

    • @Hope2421
      @Hope2421 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aldi heating was absolutely fine and My Burstner had a full double floor not just the odd here and there opening. Granted no self leveling but an easy add on to get, I still think it has moved the game on.

      Most owners will also walk or cycle once they've parked on site.
