VIP Guest at Coachman customer wedding

30/03/2012

Basingstoke couple Chris and Linda Pearse celebrated their recent nuptials in style and guest of honour was their brand new Coachman VIP 460/2.

Chris and Linda, who have been together for 20 years, decided to tie the knot to celebrate their anniversary and decided that their new Coachman should be parked in pride of place at the wedding venue, ready to whisk the happy couple off on their honeymoon.

Linda said: “To celebrate being together these past 20 years we decided to get married and what could be more appropriate than to park our new van at the wedding venue, all loaded up for the bride and groom to depart for their first night of marriage and first night in the new van?”

The couple have been caravanning for 20 years after beginning their career with a van that had no hot water, carpets or toilet. After experiencing a number of makes and models Chris and Linda found Coachman in 2005.

Linda continued: “We bought our first VIP 460/2 from Chichester Caravans in May 2005 and experienced bliss from day one.

“After 549 nights on board and towing from Land’s End to John O’Groats with the ‘van still good as new, we read about the new 2012 editions.  We traded in at Tilshead Caravans in November 2011 and took delivery of our new VIP 460/2 in February 2012.

“The new van is bliss x 2 – we are avid walkers and coming back to a nice warm van, having a hot shower and then preparing a meal in such a lovely spacious kitchen area is simply the bees knees!”
