Coachman – other models: the collective page of caravans outside the named ranges, the VIP, Laser and Amara lines plus Genius, Pastiche and Chaparral, unladen weights 1,060 to 3,274 kg, gross weight up to 3.5 t
This page gathers the Coachman caravans the register could not assign to a named range. Coachman is a British caravan maker based in Hull, whose model range splits into several naming lines: VIP and Laser as established ranges, Amara with the Festival equipment level, and the individual models Genius, Pastiche, Chaparral and Lite. The caravans are registered as class O2 trailers and supplied with a braked axle.

The register lists here 13 versions with unladen weights from 1,060 to 3,274 kg, permitted gross weights from 1,200 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,030 to 2,540 mm.
With unladen weights of over three tonnes, the heavier Coachman types count among the upmarket caravans on the market, while lighter types such as Lite are specifically designed for a lower towed weight and thus for smaller tow cars. As a British manufacturer, Coachman traditionally serves mainly its home market, where caravanning as a self-contained way of travelling has a long tradition.
When buying used, what matters most with caravans is damp damage to the roof, windows and walls, the condition of the axle, overrun brake and jockey wheel, and corrosion on the chassis. Leaking roof vents and window seals are a common cause of follow-on damage and should be checked carefully before purchase. The condition of the interior fittings, the floor panel and the water and electrical connections also belongs to the basic check on a caravan.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
