Info - Finding the Age of a Fleetwood Caravan
There are two ways of determining the age/year of manufacture of your caravan depending on when it was produced.
Older vans have a plate near the door on the outside of the caravan. This will show the year, serial number and maximum laden weight. e.g. 89 FL00267 900kg.
|
89 is the year i.e. 1989 FL for Fleetwood (Pre 88 may not have this as in this 1981 example) 00267 the build number for that year |
|
| Later vans have a 17 character number which is die stamped into the caravan drawbar and chemically etched on up to 10 eye level windows this is called a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). (You should receive a Touring Caravan Registration Document showing this from CRIS) |
