A vin number on the plate is the same as etched on the windows of a van

A caravan VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) number, also referred to as; serial number, CRiS number and chassis number is a 17 digit code that is and has been given to each and every caravan made in the UK (and some of Europe) since 1992. The VIN number is unique to each caravan and is used by CRiS to keep a track of who owns what caravan. The number given to the caravan is etched on the corner of each window (as photographed). As I said above, the caravan VIN number can give us some key information that you will find useful when purchasing a caravan.

SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – first two characters = Country of manufacture (SG in this case represents UK)
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 3rd character = Can vary but in most cases is the make (B for Bailey, A for Avondale etc)
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 4th character = Whether the caravan is sible or twin axel (T for twin & S for single)
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 5th, 6th & 7th characters = Optional manufacturer information (this is sometimes used by manufacturers to represent different model ranges)
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 8th & 9th characters = The manufacturer of the caravan (In this case Swift – see below for manufacturer codes)
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 10th character = Model year (In this case 2013 – see below for year codes)
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 11th, 12th & 13th characters = Optional manufacturer information
SGDTT6ESWD0335379 – 14th, 15th, 16th & 17th characters = Caravan’s unique serial number

The easier way would be to post up a picture of the whole caravan. If you think it's 1990s then the obvious clue from your vin plate is that it is 1991.

I'm guessing 90's it does say 91 but doesn't mean 91

Why are you so certain it is not 1991? That looks like an early 90s Sprite to me. Why do you want an exact date? It's not really going to help if you want parts, early 90s is near enough.

Its just that all the other musketeers ive seen have the door either on the other side of the van or at the other end. I suppose it doesn't really matter. thank you tho!

Door is on the UK side. Door on the other end probably equals a different model or layout, may be more or less beds? Door on the other side European model.
