Hi there
We are currently looking to buy a new caravan within the next month or so.
We have currently narrowed our search down to the Coachman VIP or Pastiche 2012 fixed single beds models

Could anyone let me know what the difference is between the two model apart from the cost. Also if any of you have these models do you have problems with the cupboards coming open in transit as I notice that they dont have push buttons to open the storage cupboards.
Many thanks
Denise

Both are fine 'vans.

The only difference I noticed an a casual look was the VIP has a full sized Heki sunroof over the beds whilst the Patiche seems to have a midi heki.  There will I'm sure be other differences.

Just one point ... if you buy in July remember the 2013 models will be on show from September.  Might it be worth waiting?

We have the coachman armara vs and have never had any cupboard doors come open in transit. I do not know if its because they are so thick or what and I do leave stuff in them and its never been on the floor when we arrive on site. We were looking at these 2 caravans for the single beds. I agree I would wait till september as we purchased august 2010 only to find a newer model out the next mont.h
