Hi

We've just bought our new caravan (new to us that is) its a 1996 Coachman Concept 480/4. its really nice.

Been looking on the net to see if I could see similar models, as we wanted to see what other caravaners thought of theirs, but can't find any links. We were wondering if its a particular dealers own version of the Mirage or is it a model in it's own right? We thought of joining the 'Coachman owners club' but their site doesn't indicate that there is a forum at all.

Has anyone had, seen this model if so what do you think of the van, any suggestions re improvements or customising at all?

Cheers

Bernie

No it's a 'regular' Coachman model but only made for the 96/7 seasons. Three version were produced, 5B 440/5, your 4B 480/4 and the 5B 500/5, yours cost  £8145 when new.

Thanks Gary

The interior soft furnishing and the woodwork seem a lot "fresher" than caravans of a similar age and it seems very airy inside, perhaps that why they named it concept

Re the Coachman club having just got a Coachman too I had a look at that and no I'm pretty sure there is no forum.

The only plusses I could make out were the possibility of a factory tour and if you are into rallying with other Coachpeople (LOL) then there were plenty on offer.

We're just looking at buying one of these how are you finding yours? We are very new to caravanning, I've heard Coachman is a good make I am hoping that will mean a 96 model will be dry. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
