The 2024 Coachman Laser Xcel 850 is a 4-berth touring caravan built around an end bedroom with a fixed island bed. At 2.44m (8’0″) wide and 7.90m (25’11”) in external length, the twin axle gives it extra stability on the road, and the larger footprint carries a fuller specification than most vans this size.
Layout and Living Space
The end bedroom holds a fixed island bed, ready to sleep in without any nightly making up, with space to move around both sides. The lounge at the other end gives you a dinette and seating area for eating, working, or winding down. Loose fit carpets, blinds, and fly screens are fitted throughout, so the van stays comfortable and shielded from prying eyes or midges alike. Keeping the bedroom separate from the lounge means one person can have a lie-in while the other gets moving.
Kitchen Facilities
The kitchen is fitted with a full oven, microwave, fridge, and freezer, so you can put together a complete meal on site instead of eating out every evening. An external gas BBQ point lets you move the cooking outside on good weather days.
Heating and Climate
Alde wet central heating runs through the van, warming it evenly via a network of pipes rather than blown air, so there are no cold corners near the doors or windows. It also heats the water for your shower and taps. A Heki rooflight and sun roof let in extra daylight and fresh air, and an extractor fan clears steam and cooking smells from the kitchen.
Practical Extras
The E&P self-levelling system lets you level and steady the van at the push of a button, cutting out the usual fuss with ramps and manual corner steadies. An onboard water tank means you can fill up before you set off and skip a trip to the tap once you’re pitched. Alloy wheels, a spare wheel, and a hitch head stabiliser come as standard, and a solar panel with battery charger keeps the leisure battery topped up on and off hook-up. An alarm and stereo system are also fitted, and the one piece aluminium side panel gives the bodywork a smooth, joint-free finish.
Weight and Towing
The Laser Xcel 850 has an unladen weight of 1,766kg and an MTPLM of 2,000kg, giving you 234kg of payload to work with. The twin axle setup helps keep the van steady while towing, particularly in crosswinds or when being passed by larger vehicles, though it does add a bit more to think about when reversing or manoeuvring on a tight pitch. It’s worth checking these figures against your tow car’s limits before buying. The team at Raymond James Caravans can talk you through the numbers when you visit.
