[Holidaysforever]

Hi - am looking at the Coachman VIP 545 Caravan, does anyone have one of these or of this range and what experience do you have, the Coachman caravans look of good quality, I need to go for a 2012/13 model to get within my budget, would appreciate any thoughts please.
Sorry, think I posted in the wrong category i.e. new members.

Coachman do seem to have a slightly better record than most of the major UK manufacturers, but even they can suffer quality issues See this thread about Swift.:

Hi, I had a 2010, 545 for three years and the only two problems that we had were, the front center window scratched right in the middle, inside. This was replaced under warranty and the new window had a much wider gap. The shower door had a tendency to crack at the top runners. Maybe the later models had an upgrade. Alround we found it to be an excelent van, but we liked the rear bathroom of the 560. Which we changed to.
