Tyres

Hi there
I have just bought a small Avondale Orestes Perle.
I think its a 1973 model 5GA5000 AVVOOO2173
Thise are the numbers etched on the glass i asume that is the vin number
Can you tell me what the tyre presher is suposed to be
And am i right in thinking that the last 2 numbers on the vin is the year

The code etched into the wimdow glass of a caravan should be the same as its VIN number. If its not then the history of the caravan must be suspect.

Use of this character can vary SGB S 000BYA1111111- This part identifies whether the van is single or twin axle SGBS 000 BYA1111111 – Optional manufacturer data, usually relating to the model SGBS000 BY A1111111 – Manufacturer details (Bailey for this caravan) SGBS000BY A 1111111 – Year of…

The final letter (V in your case ) indicated 1997.

The tyre pressure fro your caravan should be found in the users handbook, but I guess you don't have one. Unfortunatelty Avaondale went out of business many years ago, so you cant ask them. Your best hope is for a forum member to have had the same model and can remember the manufacturers recommendation.

Alternatively , If you can find another make of caravan that uses the same tyre size, with the same MTPLM, then you wouldn't be to far the original recommendation.

It seems that the caravan is a lot newer than 1973 and is possible a 1994 model. See https://www.avondalecaravans.com/1994-perle-orestes-2-berth-caravan/

The tyre pressure charts are available from several makers and suppliers. You need the tyre size and the MPTLM to check it.

I cant find the MPTLM on my caravan where is it?

Could be on an aluminium plate by the entrance door, or similar on the rear gas locker wall , or if you can see if there is a plate near to the centre of the axle crossmember.
Remember you are looking for the MPTLM not the MIRO (which is the mass in running order of a similar ‘empty’ model off the production line).
