Hi Ena, I've fixed the images for you. In photo bucket, you just right click and copy the "IMG Code" not the URL code, into your text in your message, then the pictures will appear in the message you type. I always press return after each image code in the message, so each picture appears one after the other, otherwise they get messy. Cheers Chris

Hi ena, and welcome to the forum. Quite a solid "little" Franklin van you've got there. Sounds like you'll be very busy between now and Xmas getting it ready for its new life. Hope all goes well for you. As far as dating the van, the metal Franklin badges up top front and rear are from the 1970s era. A couple of months ago, I paid $15 + postage for one of these badges on ebay (collecting Franklin memorabilia), so at least now you know your van is worth 30 bucks The serial number W1274 on your drawbar may translate to a production period (maybe something to do with 1974?). If you go to this thread on Franklin history... vintagecaravans.proboards30.com/index.cgi?board=technicalstuffboard&action=display&thread=1179132912...and scroll down the page you will come across a photo of "gristy's" 20ft Franklin Statesman, circa 1972-1974. Gristy will be able to tell you the approximate weight of yours. Welcome to the Franklin Fraternity!! ;D ;D cheers, Al.

Hi Ena, As Franklin1 said, I have similar van - haven't wighed it but they are decievingly light at around 1100-1200KG 'dryweight' Good luck with the rebuild. Look for water damage around windows & roof hatches and soft spots in the floor.
Cheers, Gristy
