A caravan question
« 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 have been looking at Millards as well, the Horizon model come in a lightweight version with alloy frame and gal chassis and in different sizes and layouts.

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?

Thanks LR, it would appear that the Special Edition Horizon has eye to eye leaf springs. These claim to have a Tare under 1 tonne (even lighter than my current 2003 on road Jayco Freedom).  See link:
