All Coachman Caravan models have been
certified by the National Caravan Council for
compliance with stringent European Standards,
British Legislation and Industry set Codes of
Practice specifically relating to health and safety
issues. The approval process covers the testing
and inspection of critical areas of the product
from fire safety, weights and dimensions to gas,
electrics and ventilation. Every Coachman
Caravan carries the “NCC Approved Caravan”
badge. The NCC also conducts unannounced
inspections at the Coachman factory to ensure
continued compliance.
NCC approval gives
you peace of mind that your caravan is legal
and safe.
Not all equipment described is fitted to
every derivative, to check your individual
specification please check with the brochures
and your Dealer.
All the illustrations and descriptive matter in this
guide are intended to give a general idea of the
caravan. Changing market and supply situations
may prevent us from maintaining exact
specification details in this guide and we therefore
reserve the right to alter specifications as
materials and conditions demand.
Please check current details with your dealer and
inspect the caravan to ensure it is satisfactory
before purchase. Dealers are not agents and have
absolutely no authority to bind Coachman
Caravan Company Limited by any express or
implied undertaking or representation.
