under the axle tube as near as possible to
the main chassis member.

SERVICING
It is a condition of warranty that your
caravan is serviced once a year by a
competent Service Centre. Proof of this will
be required in the event of a warranty claim.
The Coachman warranty does require that
servicing must be carried out within 90 days
either side of the anniversary of the
purchase date for interim years but before
the anniversary date on the final year and
must include a full damp check
Your caravan also requires servicing at least
once a year for safety, efficiency and to
protect the investment you have made.
Whether the caravan is used for short trips
or continental long range touring, regular
servicing is necessary and will ensure
continued enjoyment of your caravan.
Dealers will carry out your annual servicing
using the latest techniques and equipment
(a list of the items to be inspected, tested
and adjusted appears in your Warranty and
Service Handbook and at the rear of this
guide), and will complete the service
document as proof of regular maintenance.
As with motor vehicle service documents,
not only will the proof of regular servicing
enhance your caravan’s resale value but in
the unlikely event of any defect appearing at
some later date it is vital that service history
can be identified. We suggest service
invoices are retained with this guide.
Additionally, but most importantly, regular
service is a requisite of the Guarantee and
will preserve your rights under the warranty.
