Query
Hi, I have just bought a Fleetwood Colchester caravan the model is is a 1500-4.
I have been trying to find out all the specifications of this and I have had no luck. I was wondering if you would be able to assist me with the information that I require which is as follows:
Height
Width
Length
Weight
It is a 5 berth caravan. I am hoping that you will be able to assist me in this matter.
Response
Glad to hear you purchased a Fleetwood Colchester.
Do you know what year it was manufactured? This will have a bearing on the specifications, as they tended to change things year on year.
You can check the year of manufacture by looking at the manufacturers’ plate, normally located outside near the door, or you can look at the date etching on the windows.

Feedback
Sorry to be a pain, the year of the caravan is approx 1989.
I do have another question, what would be the ideal length of an awning for this make of caravan?
Response
Measure the distance from the ground at the front side of the caravan up to the awning rail, around the caravan awning rail and back down to the ground at the rear side of the caravan, for most awnings you will need the measurement in centimetres.
Good luck caravanning, we look forward to meeting you on a rally one day
