New Sportivo 565 for 2026
Launched in 2024, the Sportivo is the little brother of the Travel Master. Crucially, as well as retaining the Mercedes cab, this 7.44m motorhome manages to combine the three-pointed star with a licence-friendly 3,500kg maximum gross weight – a rare feat.

Sportivo 565: a couple's motorhome
The Sportivo 565’s lounge has been redesigned to create a pure two-berth. It already has just two sleeping places (1.95m single beds), so dealers requested a version without rear travel seats. The new model swaps a half-dinette for a more open feeling up front, where headroom is up to 2.08m. It has a single inward-facing pew on the nearside and a two-seat sofa opposite, each with a tall raked backrest for comfort. A free-standing table stores under the offside settee.
Centrally, the Sportivo has a kitchen with two-burner hob, low-mounted oven and a new slimline Thetford 142-litre fridge with automatic energy selection. Opposite, the washroom is all in one zone but folding screens create a semi-separate shower. Washroom fittings are now in matt black.
Bedroom comfort for Sportivo 565
The rear beds sit over a garage with full-sized loading doors on either side. This room certainly exudes a feel of comfort
The real USP of the Sportivo is its Scandinavian level of winterisation (to a similarly high standard to the Travel Master). You get Alde wet central heating, heated water tanks and a heated floor.
Coachman Avventura 565 joins line-up
In February last year, Coachman unveiled the prototype of its latest range, the Avventura. The company’s first Fiat-based motorhome, this line-up comes in at a lower price than the Sportivo and, therefore, goes without some of the features of its sister models that are designed to cope with severe Scandinavian winters – all Coachman motorhomes are manufactured in Sweden by the parent company, Kabe.
The Avventura models don’t have a double floor (unlike the Sportivo) but they still have an Alde wet central heating system and heated tanks. A new feature is the dropped floor in the garage to give the locker increased headroom (up to 1.09m).
That original show vehicle was the Avventura 545, with an island bed layout. It has now been joined by the Avventura 565 with high-level rear single beds over a garage.
Both Avventuras are 4,500kg motorhomes, measuring 7.99m in length and built on an Al-Ko chassis with Fiat’s 180hp engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
They come with alloy wheels, uConnect 10in touchscreen, reversing camera, automatic wipers and electric parking brake.
Avventura has a different interior feel
Like the Sportivo and Travel Master, the Avventura motorhomes are UK-handed with a nearside habitation door, but these Fiat-based models have a different look inside, more akin to the British-built Lusso caravans. That’s a deliberate move to tempt tourer owners considering a switch to a motorhome.
The 565 layout has a large lounge with side settees featuring a new upholstery style and seat cushions now in a single section. Here, the table is permanent but it folds in half to become less obtrusive. Underneath each sofa is a foldaway Aguti travel seat but there’s no drop-down bed – extra berths are instead converted from the lounge seats.
The L-shaped kitchen features a composite worktop with integrated sink cover, drawers with a travel lock mechanism and integrated waste bins. Cooking offers a choice of the two-burner hob or Thetford gas oven, or (up above) the standard-fit Dometic microwave.
At the foot of the single beds, split ablutions place the toilet area on the nearside and the shower cubicle on the offside. The loo door closes off the back of the motorhome, while sliding doors shut off the bedroom.
Avventura spec extends to external TV and barbecue points, 130Ah AGM battery, 90-litre fresh and waste water tanks, Status TV aerial and a wireless phone charging station.
