Coachman Pastiche 5254 Stunning caravan

4,300 GBP

Step inside the 525/4 and you immediately have the ‘wow’ factor. The layout gives you distinct ‘rooms’ and even a ‘hallway’ marked by a narrow, lit alcove with hooks for coats and low shelving for shoes to the right of the entrance door. The L-shaped kitchen divides the layout and you pass it to reach the lounge.  One cupboard houses the radio/CD player with iPod/MP3 connection, and there is an aerial point for a TV behind the offside sofa near the centre chest. Separate control panels operate the space and water heating, and mains electricity.

LED lights include four spots in the lounge and lighting above the lockers operated by rocker switches. There is a further light above the panoramic roof window. Three front windows, two on the sides and a large roof light, as well as the roof window, let plenty of daylight in. Speakers on either side of the front windows face into the lounge. The overall effect is clean and modern.

There’s plenty of space for four to lounge in comfort on the 6ft 2in-long sofas and for four to dine at the free-standing table, which is stowed in the wardrobe. The table is large, though, which makes it difficult to wriggle around before sitting down.
Kitchen
This caravan has a cook’s kitchen with plenty of preparation space, drawers and cupboards: there will be no struggle to stow pans, crockery, cutlery and groceries. Overhead is an Omni vent extractor fan.

The oven, grill and dual-fuel, four-burner hob occupy the short end of the L and there is a Thetford 113-litre fridge against the nearside wall. The overall effect is one of a wrap-around kitchen.  Storage options are plentiful.
Washroom
There’s ample space to get dry after a shower in the large corner washroom. The round shower has a black panel holding the chrome shower unit and a small shelf for soap and shampoo.

The square basin has a chrome mixer tap, a big, illuminated vanity mirror above and a cupboard below. Behind the electric-flush, swivel Thetford C-260 toilet is a frosted window and over that is a cupboard for toiletries.

On the back wall, near the toilet, is a towel rail and a shelf. Additional towel hooks and a ring are next to the shower.
Beds
To the rear of the kitchen bulkhead are the wardrobe and the fixed bunk beds. The bunks are tucked into the offside corner and an aluminium ladder with wide treads to support tender feet permits easy access to the top berth. Each bunk has a window, a spotlight and a curtain.  The entire area can be closed off by a folding door, effectively creating a separate bedroom.

At 6ft 2in long and 2ft 6in wide, the lounge sofas make comfortable single beds. Alternatively, converting them into a double couldn’t be easier: pull the aluminium frame from the front of the offside sofa to form the bed base, then arrange cushions to form a firm mattress. Four spotlights provide reading light for two no matter what sleeping configuration you choose.
Storage
Storage options abound throughout the Pastiche, not just in the kitchen, where it’s excellent. The front seat bases can hold bedding during the day. Space under the offside seat is compromised by the main electrical unit and the Combi boiler housed here, but there is some room and access to the space is easy, thanks to the hinged lid, which is supported by a gas strut.

The central chest has three drawers and a slide-out extension top. A shelf under the panoramic window replaces lockers that otherwise would be on the front wall of the van, leaving two wide lockers and a small cubby with a door on either side of the van.

The large full-length wardrobe between the bunks and the kitchen provides the principal storage space at the back of this caravan. The table and the TV aerial are located.
