What Makes the Travel Master a Luxury Motorhome?

Coachman’s Travel Master 545 was named Luxury Motorhome of the Year in the 2023 awards from MMM , The Motorhomer’s Magazine. The accolade awarded to this terrific luxury vehicle was well deserved and, here, we’ll look a little further into the reasons why the Travel Master caught the attention of the judges and garnered their praise. We’ll explain some of the important qualities the range showcases to make it one of the finest luxury motorhomes available.

1.   Design and Craftsmanship

With a meticulous attention to detail in the design and build stages of manufacturing – a company strength which is imbued throughout all motorhomes in their range – the two model Travel Master (545 and 565) showcases the finest that the best quality motorhome manufacturer Coachman has to offer.

In addition to the sleek exterior, which offers genuine kerb appeal, the Travel Master features stunning interiors, luxurious but with no compromise on functionality. There is a high quality aesthetic throughout, with premium fabrics and other materials, including the unique ‘Nordic Oak’ wood colour scheme, used to create an environment in each vehicle which is truly inviting.

2.   Driving

It’s not just the fixtures and fittings which make the Travel Master a premium luxury motorhome . It has superior drive and handling, with plenty of features and efficiencies for drivers to savour. It’s built on a 4,500kg Mercedes AL-KO chassis with 170bhp engine – so there is plenty of horsepower and torque.

The suspension systems guarantee a stable ride, absorbing imperfections in the road with ease, and the excellent nine-speed automatic transmission gearbox and driver assistance technology (ABS and automatic braking, plus cab air conditioning, reversing camera, infotainment system, crosswind assist, wipers rain sensor and headlight assist) make for smooth hassle-free journeys every time. In addition, the breathable fabric-backed aluminium inner walls create a slightly hushed ambience and help to filter out unwanted exterior noise when you’re on the move – always a bonus!

3.   Living

The wider body of the Travel Master (at just over 8 feet) offers the luxury of plenty of additional floor space in social areas, meaning travellers will feel right at home. Up front in the living area, deep pile stain resistant loose lay carpets and sprung upholstery seating with higher back rests ooze luxury. In both the 545 and 565 the lounge features occasional and free-standing tables (with even a dedicated storage spot for the latter during travel) so you always have somewhere handy to eat your meals or, at either end of the day, put your coffee cup, mobile phone and newspaper.

Throughout the Travel Master, well-considered storage options and particularly clever use of space for the layout of individual areas makes for a very tidy on the road life. Smaller features, such as the sockets, USB ports, coat hooks and open shelving just inside the habitation door, are delightful touches which further the sense of a really well thought out luxury environment. It’s not totally about the interior living, though – there are also external gas and shower points.

4.   Eating

With a fully equipped kitchen, there will be no worries about cooking in the Travel Master – and cooking in luxury, at that.

Acrylic glass locker doors with soft close hinges, high gloss worktops, chrome tap, ambient lighting, under-counter pull-out storage trays and drawer storage with travel lock mechanism all combine to provide convenience, but immediately highlight that Coachman’s customary attention to luxury detailing is present and correct, even in this most functional of domestic spaces. The Thetford dual fuel hob features electronic ignition, a flame failure device and a glass lid, so is designed for safety as well as catering. The Travel Master also carries a microwave oven and a Dometic 10.5T series 171 litre fridge freezer and, topping it all off and adding in even more comfort, there’s an integrated extractor fan.

5.   Sleeping

The washroom in the Travel Master is fairly central and is split across the aisle, meaning by simply swinging the toilet compartment door you can ‘shut off’ and make an en suite to the rear bedroom – which, in the 545, features a rear island bed and in the 565 features twin singles. Further sleeping space is provided by the electrically operated drop down double bed over the living area up front, essentially meaning that when it’s time for everyone to sleep the Travel Master is essentially two bedroom space with a washroom divider, offering great privacy for all.

6.   Keeping Control

The operation of the drop-down electric bed, the lights and even the level of electric power you want to draw from the mains, plus the pumping out of waste water from its tank, are all controllable from an easily operated control panel, which has been developed in partnership with Dometic.

The Travel Master, in both iterations, is a seriously impressive luxury motorhome, with a clear focus on top quality, high standard specification and terrific winterisation standards. The award-winning Travel Master 545 and its sister the 565 mean that wherever you plan to travel in 2024, Coachman can provide one of the best 4-berth motorhomes available – a vehicle that will provide the ultimate luxury to enhance your lifestyle.

Coachman Travel Master 560 2022

By Sarah Wakely Published: July 4, 2022

The renowned British caravan manufacturer has taken the plunge into the motorhome market and the results are impressive, says Sarah Wakely

If you’ve ever set foot inside an industry show – and most of us probably have – you’ll be aware of Coachman Caravans. This Hull-based manufacturer is a big name in the touring caravan market: formed in 1986, it has built a strong reputation for quality over the years. It’s won the overall trophy in our previous two Owner Satisfaction Awards, held by our sister title Practical Caravan – our guide to the best caravan manufacturers will tell you more.

But Swedish motorhome and caravan manufacturer Kabe bought Coachman in 2021, from which point on, it only felt like a matter of time before the first Coachman motorhome was launched. And in a move that wasn’t a complete surprise, the Coachman Travel Master made its debut at the recent NEC show .

There are three models in the range at launch, including the island-bed 545, and the twin-bed 565, all based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter/Al-Ko chassis. Here, we take a look at the third model, the French (corner) bed 560, the shortest of the trio at 7.6m. Prices start from £105,715, but the model we looked at was £107,015.

All three Travel Masters feature an MTPLM of 4500kg, so you’ll need a C1 category on your licence, but the pay-off for that is a large payload. Final figures are yet to be confirmed, but the estimated 950kg of the 560 model should be plenty.

You pay a premium price for any Mercedes-based ’van, but there’s no denying you get a significant amount of driver-related kit for your outlay. Among the many features offered on the Sprinter base are ESP, ABS, automatic braking, attention assist, crosswind assist… the list goes on.  

Under the bonnet is the Mercedes 2.0-litre 170hp engine; here, it’s twinned with nine-speed automatic transmission and offers 295lb ft of torque at 1700-2400rpm.  

Step in through the nearside habitation door and you find a motorhome layout that provides a spacious lounge, with a side sofa and a forward-facing bench seat with two belts.  

Both of the leather-clad cab chairs swivel to join these rear seats, and the addition of the freestanding table provides a roomy area for all occupants to dine and relax.

The cool greys and browns – officially called ‘Nordic Oak’ – of the upholstery and furnishings look and feel smart and good quality, and betray the vehicle’s Scandinavian heritage. A large rooflight above the lounge helps increase natural light.

Across from the door is the motorhome’s kitchen – it’s not huge, but the stainless-steel sink with infill increases the amount of workspace. You get a Thetford dual-fuel hob with electric ignition and full oven/grill alongside. There’s an extractor fan, and a microwave; the latter sits above the 171-litre, two-way opening fridge-freezer.

The washroom, alongside the fixed bed and tucked into the offside rear corner, is not enormous, but provides a spacious square shower cubicle with three shelves, a swivelling Thetford toilet and a decent-sized handbasin. There’s a mirrored vanity unit and cupboards below the basin.

The double bed at the rear, with its plush headboard and spotlights, comes in at 1.94m; the electrically operated drop-down bed over the lounge is 1.98m long. It has a slight corner cutaway to allow access to the habitation door.

If you spend north of £100,000 on a motorhome, you’ll want to be able to use it all year, and the Travel Master features a high level of winterisation – as you’d expect from a ’van with Scandinavian origins. The heating is provided by Alde’s wet central system, and Kabe’s AGS II waterborne underfloor heating makes an appearance. Both of the water tanks are heated.  

And don’t worry if you plan to travel to hotter climes: roof-mounted air-con comes fitted as standard.  

Our test model had a roll-out Thule awning, a £1300 optional extra, and a 140W solar panel, which is standard fit.

We’ve waited a long time to see a Coachman motorhome, and we’re impressed with the results. It’s certainly not cheap, and you’ll need to weigh up carefully if you’d prefer the additional space offered by a luxury A-class from a Continental manufacturer for similar money. But the Travel Master feels well built and well executed: it’s an interesting start from Coachman, and we look forward to seeing more models in years to come.

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Travel master 545

With customer comfort and confidence in mind, Coachman’s presence in the twenty-first century leisure vehicle market continues to grow…

Just after its launch last year, this model was named Luxury Motorhome of the Year in MMM’s 2023 awards. It impressed judges with its quality, standard specification and impressive winterisation standards.

Those qualities are still imbued with each and every Coachman motorhome.

The Coachman Travel Master features impressive insulation and other aspects that give it all-year camping suitability. This includes aluminium skin on the internal walls and ventilated wall coverings to eliminate condensation and help with soundproofing. You also get floor-mounted heater vents to create a thermal wall between the cab and the rest of the habitation area.

Coachman has specified all of its motorhomes to ensure they have all the equipment British buyers want.

So you get the Mercedes chassis with 170bhp engine and the excellent nine-speed automatic gearbox, various driving aids (ABS, automatic braking, crosswind assist, rain sensor for the wipers and headlight assist).

The cab also comes with the 10.25in MBUX infotainment system, which has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can integrate your phone into the system for calls, navigation and more; function controls on the steering wheel help with this.

Stepping on board, you have a twin sofa lounge that hides a clever trick. One sofa swivels to create two extra travel seats – no faffing about with sofa bases or cushions here.

The central kitchen should cater for all cooks – dual-fuel hob (gas and electric), grill, oven, microwave and 171-litre fridge/freezer; there’s even an integrated extractor fan.

The washroom is split across the aisle; swing the toilet compartment door to make an en suite to the island bedroom at the rear. The shower cubicle is large and has a pumped drain for a faster flow of water out of the tray.
