New Viscount Purchase

[aft]

Hello
I have been scrolling through some of the posts and I am amazed at how much great and interesting information there is to absorb.
We have just finally (after a long time of looking) managed to find a lovely Viscount to reno. I think it might be called a Supreme and is 19ft ish but after seeing some posts of how to read the chassis numbers and I popping straight out in the morning to have another look and work it all out. I can't see to find very many pictures of it on the internet so it must not be a popular model as it has a bathroom at the back and a love booth seat at the front with bed in the middle. I will take some photos tomorrow and try and post them up. It is needing a lot of TLC but it has lots of potential as long as we can find some replacement parts and get a bit creative.
Thank you for letting me share.

Hi and welcome aft,
Your van was classed as a 20 ft,even though it might measure 19.7 12 inches above the floor line ( the legal way of measuring the caravan companies use)
They are a great van,were very popular until people realised how hard to make/ sleep in a bed against the wall was!For their day they were a compact version of much larger Viscounts that could be towed behind a sedan,and were the beginning of a true across the van ensuite,( as against a shower in the corner that you popped a porta potti on)
Would love to see some pics,there was one on fb last week that has been in the same family since new and is in beautiful condition.
Cheers

Hi Aft,

Congratulations on your purchase. Sounds like a great caravan.

Like Hughdeany, I'd love to see some photos too. There are instructions on how to post photos on the forum if you click on this link.

Also if you tell us the serial/chassis number I can confirm the model and build year for you if that would help.
