CaravanTimes visited Coachman Caravans to find out more about the manufacturer’s quality offerings for 2015, as well as to find out if anything had changed regarding its reputation for being some of the most heavy and priciest caravans within the industry

When considering Coachman Caravans, one of the first things that springs to mind is quality. Usually, however, with quality comes two things: higher weight and higher price.

In the past, you could be forgiven for believing Coachman’s caravans were usually a bit weightier and pricier than its competitors, but when CaravanTimes was informed that, for 2015, the manufacturer’s new ranges were neither of the above we had to check it out for ourselves.

We went along to Coachman’s main headquarters in Hull to find out what’s new as far as weights and prices are concerned for 2015 and we were rather impressed. But what changes have been made to counter both of these factors?

As we found out through talking to Coachman, new manufacturing processes introduced over the last couple of years have ensured that Coachman has been able to save on additional costs and, at the same time, allowed for their caravan ranges – the Vision, Pastiche and VIP – to weigh in at much less than ever before.

Not only are savings passed onto the customer through the manufacturing changes made to Coachman’s 2015 ranges, but a lighter number of caravans now available for 2015 means that Coachman has made themselves more accessible to those previously unable to experience them. And all this has been done, it seems, without compromising the quality Coachman is associated with.

With a simple, but effective motto of ‘quality, quality, quality’, it’s not difficult to see why Coachman remains one of the most respected caravan manufacturers in the industry today. Watch our video above to find out more and let us know what you think.
