    Looking at a caravan online, before I drive to see it just wondering Is there a way of telling what year it is as it’s an English reg or what information do I need to find out what year it is thanks

    The criss registration etched on the windows will help.

    All caravans have a unique CRiS number which is etched on all windows.
    UK police use it as an identifier to identify stolen caravans but, unfortunately, An Gardaí don't subscribe to the system.
    If the number has been interfered with suspect a stolen caravan.
    If you want to avoid buying a stolen caravan you can check if the number is registered on the CRiS database as reported stolen.

    To decipher the number, see the year of manufacture and find contact details for the CRiS CLICK HERE

    or there will be a manufacturers plaque with a serial number on it. I know that Avondales have the year on there.

    as to reg no? means nothing. that's the car that towed it last.

    DON'T BUY IN A PUBLIC PLACE

    I met a person who sold their caravan for cash. They met the buyer in the Midway car park just off the M7. The buyer was delighted and paid cash, the seller unhitched his caravan, the buyer hitched it to his car and both headed off happily.

    It turned out the cash paid was FAKE but the seller had exercised some caution and taken note of the registration number of the buyer's car. However, when he went to The Gardaí that turned out to be fake too. He ended up with no caravan and no cash, basically, his caravan was stolen from him.

    Obviously the same can happen in reverse, a buyer with REAL money can be sold a stolen caravan which could be taken from them as stolen property. Again ending up with no caravan and money gone.
