RV FEATURE

THIS IS INCREDIBLE !

Andrew Phillips is at it again . That ’ s right , the owner of The RV Repair Centre in Bayswater North , Vic , has set his sites on another caravan restoration ! This time , it ’ s a 26ft 6in tandem-axle Franklin Princeton from the mid 1970s . This caravan had definitely seen better days .

Andrew had to completely rebuild these bunks as the van ' s previous owner had removed them .

Regular readers might recall Andrew ’ s Don caravan restoration , which we ’ ve shown you in these pages in recent months , or perhaps his resto of an old Coronet Princess . The thing with Andrew is , he doesn ’ t do these restorations by halves . He salvages whatever original fittings and materials that he can , and will spend hours researching the van to ensure any replacement parts are as close to factory as possible . This involves studying old blackand-white ads from caravan magazines , online research , and a lot of time on the phone .
