Coachman are to start selling a new range of Motorhomes for 2022
If they are anything like the caravans they produce they should be good

And very heavy

Think they are partly owned by Kabe, the Swedish (?) manufacturer. If they are using these as the model then they should have great winterisation and build quality.

It was announced in Feb last year............

Motorhome news: Kabe motorhomes come to the UK

Kabe - the Swedish motorhome and campervan manufacturer - is launching in the UK

And very heavy

If/when I go back to caravan ownership Coachman would be my preferred make
Don’t rate anything Bailey or Swift produce after owning a new Swift caravan in 2016 which had significant issues with the floor and had to go back to the factory and then I changed to a 2017 Bailey Unicorn that was a disaster with damp all around the wheel arches .

Hope they´re better built than our (brand new) Coachman caravan was - roof wasn´t properly sealed and leaked (as did both our Eldiss´s and our Swift!).

With Kabe having influence I would think they will be good

If/when I go back to tugging, coachman top of my list too

Had all my coachman training today. Immediately ordered 40 for stock which is a big move for an expensive van that’s launching: I am genuinely impressed. Have a look at the NEC for the launch; the you tube video was just a prototype!
Kabe advertise on their website that their vans are waterproof that’s a big claim!

Why?? Coachman have an excellent reputation. I know nothing about Swedish motorhome or caravan production. You obviously do, so please share it with us.

The Brits can't build anything without it leaking even posts on this thread about leaking Coachman.
I spent 10 years in the industry I wouldn't touch anything Brit built.

IMO looks too much like a caravan I prefer contental Motorhome layouts & prefer the hab door on the other side.

Same here.

We have never had a motorhome with the Han door on the UK near side.

Suits where we park on the drive too.

Again, European motorhomes usually have better layouts with Pullman or l lounges.

Do Any UK manufacturers build 6 belted seats ?. I struggle to find 4

I had a new Coachman Pastiche in 2004, I say new I bought it from the Caravan manufacture’s show in Hull, it went back to the Coachman Factory after the show and was completely checked over, as a show model it had every extra fitted including an expensive alarm system. Beautifully finished and never a half’peth of trouble.

The Mercedes dash looks soo much superior than the old fashioned cheap looking Fiat.

That dash has been around for a few years, I'm not keen on it but the screen resolution is really good.

Just over 3 years I think?
