| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachman Laser 480 | 2 | 1650 kg | 6.95 m | £18,500 to £38,995 |

The Coachman Laser 480 sits at a premium price point compared to entry-level two-berth caravans, reflecting its higher specification and Alde heating system. While it offers a more refined interior and a larger washroom than many competitors, its 1650kg MTPLM requires a more capable tow car than lighter alternatives like the Bailey Unicorn Seville or Elddis Affinity 520. The choice between these models depends on whether the buyer prioritises luxury finishes and washroom space over towing weight and fixed-bed convenience.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 155kg payload efficiently by storing heavier items over the axle.
- Regularly service the Alde heating system to maintain year-round performance.
- Monitor the seals of the Advanced Bonded Construction for long-term moisture resistance.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the MTPLM by installing heavy aftermarket accessories without calculating the remaining payload.
- Neglecting to check the AL-KO ATC system status before departure.
Worth knowing: The 155kg payload must be managed carefully when loading heavy equipment. The 2.31m width and 6.95m length require appropriate storage space.
