Why I Chose a Toyota Coaster

There are a lot of options out there.

But the Coaster stood out because of:

• Size
• Layout potential
• Reliability reputation

👉 On paper, it made a lot of sense

---

What Works

There’s a lot to love about it:

• The space (huge difference)
• The ability to customise
• The feeling of having a proper “home”

---

What Doesn’t

But it’s not perfect:

• Bigger = harder to manoeuvre
• Everything takes longer to modify
• You uncover more issues as you go

👉 Nothing is ever as simple as it seems
