Franklin Newbie

Hi All
I recently purchased a Franklin and would like help deciphering it’s age. I believe it’s probably 1968/69. The number on the van has been rubbed off so is barely visible. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Clair

Hi calamityclair,
Your van is one of the last wooden framed vans,but one of the first Regents,so 1968.Originally it would have been white aluminium,but someone has rubbed all that off!
I don’t know what’s inside,but it would have had a single dinette at the front and a folding couch double in the back.The kitchen would have had 3 small overhead cupboards and 2 more overheads at each end.
Hope this helps you
Cheers
