Coachman VIP 565 (2026)

The Coachman VIP has been the best-selling caravan range for Coachman over the years. Living up to its name as a luxurious home-from-home, packed with exclusive features that make it a truly exceptional caravan. It is the staple range in Coachman’s portfolio. Coachman Caravans have carried forward all five models into the 2025 season for their popularity and versatility.

The VIP 565 is perfect for couples or even families with older children like teenagers. It includes single beds with a comfortable lounge area.
