What make and mode is my caravan?

[Olivecaravan24]

Hello! Can anyone tell me what make/ model/year my caravan is? I bought it as a shell, no badges, maker etc. New door and windows as there was none. It is a 10 footer. Thanks!

Hello @Olivecaravan24 

Having had a look online, it looks very similar in shape to a 1976 Millard York Carvan, mind you though the 1977 model has the same front window configuration. But these days it's difficult to tell specially if the caravan has been upgraded or rebuilt.

Let me call on our experienced members @twocutekelpies and @Peggers for their opinion on the type and model of your caravan. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for your reply. I'll wait for further info from the community. Would love to know exactly so I can source some old badges etc, Amazing!

Aww, it's a lovely little York. As you know, the windows and doors aren't original but if the windows are the same shape as original, then it's approx 1972. Is there a Y number on the drawbar? That can confirm year for me. 

The below photo was mine after a rebuild and this is the link to my reno https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Featured-Projects/1972-York-Caravan-renovation/ta-p/73125

@Olivecaravan24  for that era York, there's a couple of York decals available on Ebay. Here's a newspaper article about it as well.
