atlas orlando

[michaelr1946]

Hi all, we have been "tourer" people up to now,but have now decided to settle down with a static. We are about to purchase an Atlas Orlando which we have viewed and are happy with, been round with a damp meter etc all ok.
Unfortunately the very nice lady who is selling it does not know exactly what year the van is.
Now,on the advice of Atlas , I have found a serial number consisting of several letters and a series of numbers , the last two digits being "98" , it has been mentioned to me that this might indicate the year of build (ie 1998). Is there anyone on here that can confirm that this is so ?.
I may have to go back to Atlas if not, they were very helpful I have to say.
Any ideas anywhere??.:).
Cheers Mike R.

Sorry cant help with your question....just wanted to say welcome to the site.

you should have near your boiler(normally stuck on the door or wall of your boiler cupboard) a copy of the original gas connection and testing certificate. this will have the date on it that it was first connected. (hope i am correct, it has certainly been the case with each of the vans i have had but this may just apply to the sites i have been on) certainly worth looking. good luck!

The Orlando is listed as a 1997 model.

I've got a Orlando and I thought it was a 1998 but it's a 97
