Hello, The chassis plate is usually on the front A frame and can sometimes be hidden under the fibreglass cover. If the challenger is 92-93 it should be CRIS registered and have the VIN No. etched into all the windows. Swifts often used a numerical system in naming their 'vans like 415 for a 4 berth 15 foot or later using metric 515 was for a 5.1 mtr 5 berth.
Sorry I cant be more help, but there are plenty of very knowledgeable people on here who I'm sure will be along to help.
Regards
David

Sounds interesting as you describe it - can't wait to see the pic.


The plate could be anywhere on the caravan - by the door, over the door inside, on the A frame, by the wheel arch...


Unfortunately UK manufacturers rarely put them in the same place for different models.

All UK caravans since 1992 should be Cris registered so if yours is younger than this the chassis number is usually etched in the corner of each window

Caravanning is a way of getting a cheap holiday out of an expensive hobby

Looks like one listed on ebay as a 1987 4/5 berth twin wheeled Swift Challenger 520.

Item number is 260652092105 and there are plenty of photos to compare with yours. I'll try and link, but I'm not sure if it will work:

*No, link won't work so just type item number in ebay search and you will see the pics.
