PHANTOM TRACKING SYSTEM
Laser models are fitted with the Phantom
Tracking System. This enables the 24 hours
Phantom Monitoring Centre to pinpoint the
location of the caravan through a global
positioning satellite system.
Once the caravan arrives at the Dealers they
could choose to call Phantom or simply
instruct the customer to do so to register
their purchase. There is no longer any
connection for the Dealer or customer to
make, nor even a need to be with the van to
complete the activation.
The caller will simply need to provide their
CRIS number to lead Phantom to their
device on the database. A simple command
from the Phantom server will turn the alerts
on and the device will be fully activated in
what should be a 5 minute phone call.
The customer will then be alerted as
follows……
Battery disconnected
Leisure battery running down (triggers about
10v).
Phantom back up battery running low.
Sargent alarm triggering.
You can also register your Email address
which will enable you to access the portal to
observe your caravan’s current position and
battery status.
For further details and instructions please
refer to the Phantom literature.
The following is a brief description of the
main components used in your caravan.
More comprehensive descriptions are to be
found in the equipment manufacturers’
literature held in the wallet with this guide.
AL-KO GALVANISED CHASSIS
The AL-KO chassis fitted to your Coachman
is constructed from high quality, hot dip
galvanised steel.
The axles and suspension are comprised of
3 rubber elements within a hexagonal tube.
Additional Al-KO Octagon Shock Absorbers
are fitted as standard for increased damping
and improved road holding.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The braking system comprises a rod
operated overrunning device with expander
mechanism and adjuster box.
An automatic reversing system with a
spring-loaded reverse lever is attached to
the adjuster box.
The system also incorporates a link device,
which gives added safety to the handbrake
operation when parking on a reverse slope
or steep hill. Brake adjustment should be
carried out by your Dealer.
BODY SHELL
Caravan bodies are constructed from the
highest quality materials. The floor is
constructed from a Styrofoam plywood
sandwich, impregnated with anti-damp and
rot compounds and adhesives.
The wall comprises an insulated foam
sandwich having a pre-coated aluminium
exterior surface and a coated plywood
interior finish. Framing is positioned within
the sandwich to add strength.
The very latest ‘state of the art’ presses are
employed to produce the extremely well
insulated, robust, yet lightweight sections.
Windows are all of a dual glazed acrylic
construction and the door frames are
extruded aluminium. Fronts and backs are
moulded acrylic capped ABS construction
for strength and lightness.
Each caravan is fitted, as standard with an
awning channel as an integral part of the
YOUR CARAVAN
Note: Holes must not be drilled into
the chassis. When purchasing a
stabiliser, consult your Dealer who
will advise you.
