I've just purchased a gently used Caldera Martinique spa; arriving today. I'm trying to figure out what year this is so I can get the right manual and begin to get to know this spa. The model number is MRA1C1071. If I'm reading this thread correctly, that would mean this is a spa produced in the first quarter of 2001? (1C) The serial number, on the other hand, is 51286-12200101170052 -- which seems a much longer serial number than the others I'm seeing in this post for Caldera tubs. So that has me confused. It also says the following on the serial number tag: "System 9800CP Caldera Millen 38984"
Can Vanguard or Dr. Spa or someone else confirm that I'm interpreting the model number properly before I start ordering parts for this? And does anyone know what all that other info on the S/N tag means?
2001 Martinique is what you have
