Sprite Alpine - door lock and interior

[jessejazza]

Few things i'd be grateful for help on at this stage

a] door locks. I saw on Youtube that most caravans of this vintage were fitted with MC caralock. Easy to obtain keys for as there were only 45 and one can order off ebay. The number is shown on the internal latch. I had a look this morning and no number. Do i not have a caralock? I guess there are some similar - ideally i'd like to avoid cutting new holes if i can. Other solution is to fit the standard wooden house door Yale lock and latch which i saw on another caravan i looked at.

b] as you can see the interior is not great but not too bad either. Once i have got a front window sorted i will be able to sort out the interior. What i am unsure off at present is how the front bunk is set up. I assume she is missing wood bars that go across at the front. As for the rear were those just two seats and perhaps wood bars for a single bunk?

c] the gas ring i guess is missing a grid and i have this aluminium panel which i am not sure of it's purpose.

Anyone who has an Alpine i would be grateful if you could post some pics of what you have.

You may have luck from a breakers,I would suggest "1st time caravans" at Rotherham as they stock caravan parts from 1970 to 2000,you may have to buy a complete lock,,I would also ask a locksmiths advice it does no harm to ask,I recently replaced my front locker locks by a pair I had obtained from office cabinets...Good luck Gary

Been looking into the suspension this morning. Been told to look up the "ETI" number. Can't see anything - where would it most likely be? Just asking before i take it all off... perhaps that's the only way to finding it.
