2002 Pastiche 500/5

[Clyde_374362931]

I have found a nice Coachman Pastiche 500/5 locally for sale from a private dealer. Would anyone have any experience of this caravan, pros and cons. Also, if there are any faults we should look out for when checking out before purchase.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Ha Clyde we had new 500/5 van for around 3 years and found it to be one of the best vans we have ever had,it was quite a heavy though but well put together only got rid of it to downsize as the kids say caravanning is uncool go 4 it if its the right price mate

Much obliged Ian. Was a bit concerned about the weight but is within limits and we will be travelling light as it is initially for week-ends only at least.

we are now on our 5th coachman van they are superbly put together and very well specified, we did try swift 2 years ago and only kept the van for 8 month becouse it was so poor compared to coachman which says a lot really.

Our van in 2002 was a pastiche 520/4 it was absoluty fine we had no faults at all with it even though we use our vans quite heavy every 3 weeks all year plus quite a few fortnights away too.

I can recomend coachman with absolute faith in the brand and as long as the van has been looked after (most coachmans are)then it should prove usefull for many years yet.
