Coronet caravan - forum member abblyn

Hello All!

This is my first post here so please be gentle, lol. I recently purchased what I believe is a 1976 Coronet Crown Prince ( chassis no: E-10725) and I believe it weighs in the vicinity of 800Kg, does anyone know if this is about right?
Daisy is our first caravan and we can't wait to get out and about with her very soon.

Hi abblyn,
Your van is earlier than 1976,it looks to be about 1972 or 3 to me.
You will find the weight to be about 1100 or so in actuality,back then vans were weighed without a weighbridge ticket and were usually hopelessly in accurate!
Coronets were also a heavy van compared to the rest.
Looks good,
Hope this was of some help.

Thank you Hughdeani for your reply.
Yes I think it does help me somewhat although the weight was a bit of a surprise but from what we got from her loaded weight yesterday on the weighbridge then this sounds much more applicable to us. According to the weighbridge she came in at 1200kg which was a big surprise to us as we'd been led to believe she was in the 800kg range. But if in fact she is closer to 1100kg then this makes more sense because there is really hardly anything actually inside and we have been wondering how much could weigh that much! Now we have to find out if we MUST use load levellers, even though she travels beautifully, because if these are a legal requirement then that will be a major problem for us and sadly Daisy will most likely not leave our driveway this summer. :-(

cheers
