Coachman Amara 535/4, 2009
Price new: £14,578
This caravan is a: four-berth with a fixed double bed
There’s always something exciting about looking over a new model – especially when it comes from a company with a reputation for producing quality caravans that will still be in service when much of the competition has been recycled. The new Coachman Amara 535/4 replaces the 530/4 for 2009.
It’s a single-axle four-berth with an internal length of 5.50m and body shell width of 2.26m. The layout comprises a rear
fixed bed and a parallel-seat front lounge.
Externally, there’s a gas barbecue point and a 230V socket and, for an extra £55, you can have a Truma awning warmer fitted. It also has a Truma Ultraflow compact water socket, the flue for the Ultraheat boiler and a dedicated Ring electronic radio aerial. The waste outlets are impractically positioned at the rear for the van. That’s no problem if the van is always sited on a level pitch, but on a slope when it’s usual to site the van facing downhill, it’s difficult to discharge the waste water.

| The Coachman 535/4 is a quality caravan that’s well designed and built to the high standards we’ve come to expect from Coachman. It’s bound to prove popular with the family who want a caravan which is going to outlast much of the competition. The position of the waste outlets, the lack of worktop and storage space in the kitchen unit, and the peculiar design of the shower cubicle are my criticisms, but none of these is a major concern in what essentially is a first-class four-berth family caravan. |
