Coachman have arrived!

[Simon Select]

Amazing, incredible, awesome, cool and exciting.
I will post photos later!

Like the decor, but not the length, especially as it doesn't seem to have any extra usable space as a result. Not keen on the hunchback roof line, and certainly not that horrible flimsy concertina door on the shower compartment, looks like it wouldn't survive a week..

Price does not surprise me - the equivalent of my 2017 Bailey 75-2 which was £52k when I bought it is the 74-2 which is now £83k

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

Lovely looking van, but probably WAY out of my price range.
Well, for now anyhow

 

[Lenny HB]

I find it unbelievable that a Swedish built van doesn't have a double floor.
I can see the appeal to AT & Bailey owners but no appeal to owners of German Vans.

Cab seats not matching the interior looks tacky, no fixed table I used to hate having to put a table up in our tugging days, I don't like full cookers in vans they use up too much storage space.
The water tank is a joke in a van of that size it should be at least 200Lt.
I'm not knocking them, they just don't appeal to me & I tend to state my thoughts.

Have agree with WESTY66 steering wheel & hab door are on the wrong side.

I expect Simon will do well with them they will appeal to ex tuggers like Baileys do.

Not this one though. Not that impressed for the money.

Admit I have a Bailey as my first van. But to be honest was looking at a Pilote.
Just got messed around too much so ended up with Simon helping me out with a Bailey. Great service though.

Happy with it and enjoying a month in France.

When I do replace it though will most likely be with a European a-class

Underfloor or not, sold as waterproof on the continent!!

Price range ?

Don’t know but won’t be cheap although Elddis are about £100,000 nowadays

 

[EuroTrotters]

stopped at FWD

 

[GMLS]

Shame they were not brave enough to do a rear lounge version as I'd have been interested.Not enough choice in that layout optimised for couples.

How many motorhomes are used by more than 2 people even if they are 4 berth , most people with that money to spend would be retired so it looks to me like they know their market well

 

[TheAleMan]

looks a well put together piece of kit with some nice touches but, that titchy little water tank on an 8m van…REALLY

[WESTY66]

Having been round both the Kabe and Coachman motorhomes they seem pretty well built, well specced as standard, that aside there is the irritating things like a small fresh water tank, and as someone said the concertina door, which tbh I never took much notice of, neither did I ask about the double floor or lack of, however as they are Swedish made I couldn’t see them lasting long in Sweden if they wasn’t able to be a comfortable temp inside.
All that said, it is their first motorhome and it’s possible they will take all the little negative things on board and act upon them in future models.

 

[Ditcha]

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder, no need for a step with the door footwell that low

 

[Simon Select]

So no double floor however still underfloor heating, best in class according to Kabe and Alde.
Also grade 3 thermal. These are designed to work in a Sweedish winter!

 

[funflair]

With the tank heating being electric it might be a bit power hungry if it's 12v.

Looks hard to trash don’t you think?

Not for me mate. You already knew the answer to that didn’t you.

 

[Geistguy]

Is it just me but I think it's a bit ugly, however good on the inside it has to be nice to look at.

IMO a rear lounge is about the worse possible layout in a Motohome I know it appeals to tuggers but not to me. Biggest problem with it is no chance of a big garage, that is the reason twin singles are the biggest seller.

My first ever caravan experience was when my Swedish customer lent me his Volvo & borrowed a caravan for the wife & me to use, I was told to leave the Alde heating on 24/7 and it was only October.

Oh I don’t know Lenny, I could just get by with the frankia rear lounge garage and probably the liner for two garage

Liner for two is awful, the layout splits the van in half & has like a tunnel down the middle.

I wouldn’t turn one down

[pelican]

How much
Never understand this with all this length n width but no worktop space
Too wide, too long far better vans out there with even better comfort and work space for us

Surpised that the dinnette/lounge area was a bit small for an 8m van also side seating very upright/ shallow.is this a new range or just new to that dealer.
