All 23 of Coachman’s caravans for 2016 see a reduction in weight
Coachman Caravans has announced a reduction in weight on all models across all caravan ranges for 2016.
The move comes following Coachman’s commitment to producing caravans without compromising on solid construction and build quality by way of employing Advanced Bonding Construction (ABC) techniques over the past two seasons.
Working alongside the world’s leading provider of advanced sealants and bonding agents, Bostik, as well as with support from the University of Hull’s engineering department, Coachman Caravans‘s ABC technique has enabled the manufacturer to reduce weight by up to 70kgs by replacing timber with lighter, stronger PU components, whilst removing screw fixings from the exterior of every caravan sold. This has, in turn, enabled the company to virtually eliminate the threat of water ingress through the caravan shell, adding enough confidence to offer customers a ten-year water ingress warranty.
The reduction in weight is sure to appeal to a wider caravan demographic too, owing to the weight reduction enabling more vehicles to tow more models with the company’s ranges.
With two new layouts by way of the five-berth Vision 570 (with the added option of six-berths) and two-berth Pastiche 470, as well as 21 additional models within the ranges to choose from, it looks like 2016 is going to be a strong year for Coachman.
