In 20 years Graham Buchanan hasn’t found a tourer he likes more than ours!
Graham Buchanan’s love affair with Coachman started in 1987 – with the very first tourers we put on the market. And it is a romance that clearly has not dimmed over the ensuing 20 years.
For a man who has just taken delivery of his twelfth Coachman straight (it’s a VIP 520/4), former police vehicle mechanic Graham Buchanan clearly has a thing for our tourers.
“To my mind, Coachman are the best-made tourers around,” says Graham. “They are solid, they are stable, and they have never let us down in all our many years of touring.”
Graham has just as many good things to say about the dealer who has assisted him through the last ten of his twelve Coachman purchases: award-winning Crossburn Caravans of Peebles.
He clearly must be impressed when you consider that each trip to Crossburn from his home in Stanley, near Perth, represents a round trip of 150 miles.
