Trophy Caravans ran from the early 70's until the early 90's.  During that time they had a chequered history, the Ascot was produced in their final years.

They were good caravans. We owned two, a 1987 Agrarian and a 1990 Olympic Silver and were very happy with both of them. Unfortunately, Trophy was never a big enough company to have the sort of advertising budget that would ensure rave reviews in magazines. Many times we saw a feature of a Trophy van treated as a negative, while sometimes in the same article, the exact same feature would be written up as the best thing since sliced bread on another 'van! I'm afraid this has happened to all too many good, but smaller manufacturers.

I'm sure you will enjoy your van. We never had a manual for either of ours, although the Agrarian was bought new - I don't think Trophy were very big on providing comprehensive manuals . I would suggest getting hold of a Haynes Caravan Manual (a secondhand, earlier one would do) which should explain how most of the equipment that you have is meant to work.

The last address I have for them is Orchard Mill, Westhead Road, Croston, Preston, PR5 7RS. It might be worth contacting the local library there to see if they have any information in their archives.
