Is the Coachman Laser Xcel the right caravan for you?

The Coachman Laser Xcel is a high-specification twin-axle caravan designed for those who prioritise internal space and automated setup. With an 8-foot wide body and a 1900kg MTPLM, it offers a spacious environment featuring premium Fenix worktops and Alde central heating. It is particularly suited to experienced tourers who value the convenience of integrated self-levelling technology and advanced safety features like ATC Trailer Control.

  • Twin axle chassis with 8-foot wide body construction.
  • Berth options ranging from 3 to 4 people.
  • Standard E&P self-levelling and AL-KO ATC systems.
  • Alde 24-hour programmable heating and water.
  • Layouts including Island Bed and Transverse Island Bed.

Worth knowing: The 1900kg MTPLM necessitates a high-capacity tow vehicle. External width of 2.44 metres requires careful navigation in narrow areas.

Buying a Coachman Laser Xcel: What you need to know

Who it suits

  • Couples or small families who want a 7.9 metre long caravan with a home-from-home feel.
  • Tourers who frequently use sites where automated levelling saves significant setup time.
  • Owners with powerful tow vehicles capable of handling a 1900kg twin-axle load.

Reasons to consider it

  • The 2.44 metre width provides significantly more floor space than standard caravans.
  • High-end standard equipment including a domestic-style shower and panoramic sunroof.
  • Advanced safety features such as the AL-KO chassis with ATC Trailer Control.

What to check

  • Verify the specific layout as options include Twin Bed and Island Bed configurations.
  • Test the E&P self-levelling system during the viewing to ensure smooth operation.
  • Check the condition of the Fenix worktops and premium upholstery.
  • Confirm the presence of the external BBQ point and 230V socket.

Worth knowing: The 160kg payload is relatively modest for a caravan of this size and weight. Ensure your driving licence and vehicle are rated for a 1900kg MTPLM.

The Coachman Laser Xcel sits in a competitive bracket of 8-foot wide, twin-axle caravans. While it shares a 1900kg MTPLM with models like the Swift Elegance Grande 850, it distinguishes itself with specific Coachman design touches like Fenix worktops and the E&P self-levelling system as standard. Compared to the Coachman Lusso II, the Laser Xcel offers a slightly lighter MTPLM, making it accessible to a broader range of heavy-duty tow cars while maintaining a similar 7.9 metre footprint. The choice between these models often rests on specific layout preferences and the desired level of standard technical equipment.

Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Tips for Coachman Laser Xcel owners

  • Utilise the Alde 24-hour programmable timer to ensure the caravan is warm upon arrival.
  • Regularly check the ATC Trailer Control status light before every journey.
  • Make use of the external 230V socket for outdoor appliances to preserve internal space.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Underestimating the turning circle required for a 2.44 metre wide twin-axle caravan.
  • Exceeding the 160kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.

Worth knowing: The 7.9 metre length and twin axle configuration may limit access to some smaller pitches.

Alternatives to the Coachman Laser Xcel

  • Coachman 865 Xtra - For owners seeking a similar 7.9 metre length and 4 berths but with a slightly lower MTPLM of 1885kg.
  • Coachman Lusso Ii - If you prefer to stay within the Coachman brand but require a higher MTPLM of 1960kg for additional equipment.
  • Buccaneer Barracuda - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
