Didn’t make it to the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show this February? Never mind - here’s our round-up of the best bits!
Coachman makes a move into van conversions
Coachman unveiled the first two models in Affinity, its new van conversion range - both with highly innovative layouts. The Affinity Duo, based on either a Fiat Ducato or a MAN TGE, has two travel seats to leave enough room for a central kitchen, then a French bed on the nearside with an aisle down the offside leading to an end washroom, complete with a shower cubicle. The bed needs to be extended for use.
The Affinity One, available only on a Fiat, includes a rear bench with two travel seats ahead of an L-shaped kitchen. Its French bed sits alongside a corner washroom.
Coachman also revealed the latest model in its Travel Master low-profile range.
The 7.45m-long Sportivo 565 features fixed single beds in the rear and a central L-shaped kitchen opposite a central washroom.

The Livingstone 2 Sport (£56,490 OTR) comes with a transverse bed, while the Livingstone 6 Sport (£56,990 OTR) has fixed single beds. Both models include two travel seats in the bench in the front lounge and have a white furniture finish to match the white exterior.
