Coachman Caravan Company Limited, Amsterdam Road, Sutton Fields Industrial Estate, Hull, HU7 0XF
Each chassis is provided with an
adjustable jockey wheel, which is clamped
inboard directly to the overrun device. The
jockey wheel provides stabilisation and is
fitted with a solid tyre.
Spare wheel chassis mounted
Each Coachman caravan has a unique
AL-KO Group spare wheel carrier mounted
on the chassis under the caravan.
The carrier is of extra strong, lightweight
construction and is easy to operate.
Detailed operating instructions are
included under the heading “Changing a
Wheel” on page 31.
Tyres
Please refer to Technical Data section
for information regarding wheel and
tyre sizes.
Pressures
It is customary for tyre manufacturers to
mark tyres with load and inflation data.
This information relates to the use of the
tyre on cars. This is not the operating
or maximum pressure when used on a
caravan.
Please refer to the technical supplement
for information regarding tyre pressures.
It is dangerous to drive with under inflated
tyres. The pressures (cold) recommended
by the manufacturer should be adhered to.
Pressure checks, including those on
the spare tyre, should be made with
the tyres cold and using an accurate
pressure gauge. The checks should be
carried out before each journey and at
regular intervals during storage.
Tyre wear and damage
The legal requirements for tread depth
on motor vehicles’ tyres applies also to
caravans. Similarly, it is not permitted to
mix cross-ply and radial tyres on the same
axle. A redundant tyre must be replaced
by one of the same size and construction.
Wheels should be balanced and changed
round occasionally to equal wear and
prolong the life of the tyres. A tyre should
be renewed if a blister, rupture or cut
exposing the casing is detected. If the tyre
has suffered violent impact (e.g. against a
kerb), it should be examined by a specialist
as soon as possible.
As from April 1987 the speed limit in the
UK when towing a caravan was raised
from 50mph to 60mph where permitted.
Recommended lubricants
Mobilgrease MP is recommended for all
greasing routines. A good all-purpose oil
is recommended for general use.
