Coromal Caravans Pioneer Silhouette PS390

Tough little van – We bought our Coromal 390 three years agoin 2013 (it's a 2004 build) and have been happy with our purchase. We have towed a Jayco camper up the Gibb River Road, and have taken our Coromal to many similar places. We also lived in it for three months on our 13,000 bottom half of Australia" trip. I would buy Coromal over Jayco again: Much stronger… Read more

chassis, 6 inch vs 4 inch rails,

Great (and simple!) independent leaf suspension that tows extremely well,

Bigger wheels and tyres (16 inch Pajero/Prado sized, so can share spares between tow vehicle and camper),

Whilst we have the smallest one (a 390), it's caverbnous in its room. On our around Australia trip we only have the two kids bikes and the car fridge in the car - everything else went in the van,

Bed rails to support the bed whilst travelling are longer and tougher than Jayco. All bed rails on the Jyaco failed on the Gibb River Road. No sign of failures on the Coromal yet.

Everything seems a little tougher than the Jayco - thicker plywood inside, extra hinges, everything just seems that little bit tougher.

All the electrics are really well integrated and largely maintenance free.

The front boot is huge - loads of space.

What don't I like:

My wife hates putting it up and down - so we'll likely change to a caravan next time,

My three boot latches on the front boot failed today - mind you, twelve years old I shouldn't be complaining.

The water tanks are very difficult to fill; but then again, half a day's work and I'll fix that.

In short, I think these are a quality product to buy second hand - they are built to last.
