Sprite Continental 450 - where is the VIN?

I have just joined the club, but the only way to complete registration was to claim that I do not have a caravan. I actually own a Sprite Continental 450, but all my efforts to enter the VIN were thwarted.

I first tried all my paperwork, where the user manual mentions 1991 in the title. I then looked in the front storage locker, around the A-frame and around the door entrance.

I did find a number engraved on a couple of windows but, entering it, I was told it was invalid. That is either an eight-digit VIN, with the three '8's looking strange, with the numbers being split into two parts. So I decided these may just be separators and so tried entering a five-digit number instead.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Take the A frame cover off it may be on chassis under the cover it's only held on with a couple of self tappers

Self tappers? I'm guessing I'd need replacement 'tappers' plus a tool to fit them. Then I would probably make a big mess and have to spend time and money to get someone to fix it.

Okay, I'll just leave it until I get the caravan serviced. At least I now know. Thanks for the comment.
