The 2023 Coachman Laser Xcel 855 is a 4-berth twin-axle caravan built for comfortable touring. At 8ft wide and 25’11” long, it balances a genuinely spacious interior with the stability of a twin-axle chassis on the road and on site. With its fixed island bed and separate lounge, it works well for couples who want a permanent bed they don’t have to make up each night, with room for family or friends to join.
Layout and Living Space
- Fixed island bed in a private end bedroom, so you can walk around both sides and close the night off from the living area
- L-shaped front lounge that seats the family comfortably and converts for extra sleeping
- Loose-fit carpets you can lift out to protect the floor or clean easily
- Blinds and fly screens throughout to control light, privacy, and insects
Kitchen Facilities
- Full oven and hob for proper cooking on tour, not just reheating
- Microwave for quick meals
- Fridge and freezer, so you can shop for several days at a time
- Extractor fan to clear steam and cooking smells
- External gas BBQ point for cooking and eating outside
Heating and Climate
- Alde central heating, which works like the radiators in your house, warming the caravan evenly and quietly. It’s widely regarded as the best heating system you can get in a caravan.
- Air conditioning to keep things cool in warmer weather
- Heki rooflight, a large rooflight, and a sun roof to bring in daylight and fresh air
Practical Extras
- Motor mover, so you can position the caravan on your pitch or driveway by remote control without the car
- E&P self-levelling to level the caravan automatically at the push of a button
- Solar panel to keep the battery topped up when you’re off-grid
- Battery charger and mains electric hook-up for on-site power
- Alloy wheels and a spare wheel included
- Hitch head stabiliser to reduce snaking and pitching when towing
- One-piece aluminium side panel, which has fewer joins and stands up well to the weather
- External 240v and external shower points for use outside
- Onboard water tank, alarm, and stereo system
- 2 year warranty for added reassurance
Weight and Towing
The Laser Xcel 855 has an unladen weight of 1828kg and an MTPLM of 2000kg, giving you a payload of 172kg for your gear. As a twin-axle van it tows steadily, but it’s worth checking these figures against your car’s towing limit before you buy. The team can walk you through the numbers and make sure it’s a safe match for your vehicle.
