Coachman Caravans was formed in late 1986 and, after establishing a manufacturing plant in Hull, the company began to create its first range – the Coachman. The caravans in this new range were well-equipped for the time, with contemporary, plush interiors, full mains electricity, a shower, oven and fridge. The Company was bought in 1997 by the Explorer Group. However, in 2001, the company’s management, headed up by Jim Hibbs, bought Coachman and it was an independent manufacturer once more. In February 2021, KABE of Sweden took 100% ownership of Coachman Caravans.
