The Coachman VIP 565 2026 sits in a competitive premium segment. While it shares a 7.38m length with models like the Bailey Alicanto Grande Lisbon, the VIP 565 maintains a specific focus on the twin fixed single bed layout and a 1655kg MTPLM. Alternatives like the Coachman Lusso 1 offer higher weight limits and different dimensions for those requiring more space, whereas the VIP 565 remains a dedicated choice for those prioritising a high-specification single-axle build with Alde heating as standard.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Worth knowing: The 7.38m length requires careful manoeuvring in tight spaces. Payload is limited to 160kg; consider this when adding optional extras.
