Our 2019 caravan has 7 spoke wheels. According to all the info it should have 10. Does anyone know anything about this? Nearly bought the wrong Al ko lozenge.

Thanks Eddie, hopefully sorted now. Ours being 2019 should have 10 spokes but has 7, not Important I hope but weird?
Unfortunately, it is important, because you may have been sold a 2018 caravan instead of a 2019. If your caravan is fitted with 2018 seven spoke 15" rims, the lozenge required is No.30.
The manufacturers themselves identify vans as later years than the actual year manufactured as looking to the next season's sales, I think the manufacturers break point is around Aug/Sept IIRC. So Model Year, and Manufactured Date may not coincide.
On the year build code, just follow the alphabet, adding a year for each letter. 2018 should be 'I', and 2019 should be 'J'.
Of course, Coachman may have been using up stock of old wheels before changing to new ones, or had supply issues and used old stock wheels rather than delay shipment, or if you didn't have van from new, someone may have swapped them at some point.
Our caravan being a dealer special which are built in batches was built in the September before we purchased it the following March. The production year for a 2019 year caravan would be from August 2018.
