Title: A caravan question
Post by: edz on November 01, 2018, 10:58:10 AM: Trying to find some info on the Millard 370 LP series of small vans ..Aprox 12' .
I have found one [ Word of mouth at this stage ] that I maybe able to aquire, Would be a lot cheaper than building my own X- Over camper and fast track build it / upgrade it into something that suits our needs . Wife is thinking of my health limits .
Q#1 Do they have aluminium frames ?
Q#2 What weight are they atm / tare / body length / width.
Q#3 Chassis size / wheel size / Braked or not / over ride / electric .
Pics of variants / rebuilds / internals / chassis / suspension etc .
Searched the web / goggle etc and a few Millard caravan face crap specific / modern dealers / retro pages and found very little found and or no reply ..
Maybe a Swaggers Mother fathers uncles aunts cousins brothers sisters boyfriends friend of a friend had one and someone knows of a few pics / details etc . Thanks in Advance

I'm also interested, but I'd like one with some rough road capability (ie, at least eye to eye shackle springs). Did they make them that way?
