FRANKLIN RESTORATION !
Now , I mentioned that Andrew is near-obsessed with resto projects . So it might not surprise you to learn that he also has a 27ft 1976 tandem-axle Franklin on the go . This beast of a caravan is complete with two dinettes and a rear bedroom . It also has two doors : one in the front , and one in the rear bedroom area . We don ’ t see this design too often anymore , perhaps because modern vans don ’ t typically exceed 22ft , but it does have a certain appeal .
This project is in its very early stages . So far , he has removed the rear wall and sourced some woodlook laminate that almost perfectly matches the existing wall laminate . When this Franklin is finally complete , there ’ s no doubt that it will turn heads wherever it goes …
+ IT WAS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION !
This old Franklin will be a head-turner once Andrew has finished with it .
Andrew has painted the Don Cadet a vibrant mint , believing that to be the original colour of the interior .
