Coachman Laser 2026 Review
The Laser is where Coachman’s range steps into serious luxury. All seven models are 8ft wide – the Laser Xtra designation reflects a broader-than-standard bodyshell that creates a noticeably more spacious interior.

What’s New for 2026
• New Laser 480 Xtra: UK’s first 8ft-wide two-berth – a major industry first
• Updated shower cabinet with new saloon doors on the 545 Xtra and 845 twin axle
• Seven total layouts including both single and twin-axle configurations
What We Like About the Laser
• The 8ft-wide bodyshell is a genuine game-changer for interior spaciousness
• Exceptional specification throughout – nothing feels like a compromise
• The twin-axle Laser 875 Xtra is one of the finest family vans on the market
• The new 480 Xtra offers couples an unrivalled touring experience
Starting from £37,990, the Laser represents outstanding value at this level of the market.
Coachman Lusso 2026 Review
The Lusso is Coachman’s flagship range and it’s unlike anything else on the British market. Available from £49,100, the Lusso comes with solar panels and Truma Comfort Air Conditioning fitted as standard: an industry first for a production British touring caravan.

• Solar panel and Truma Comfort AC as standard – unique in British caravanning
• Four layouts including twin-axle options

• Designed for buyers who want the very best, with no compromises
If you’ve never stayed in a Lusso, you need to. It genuinely feels like an apartment on wheels and the Truma AC changes the game for summer touring.
