Hey Rex, Niiiiiiiiice Franklin. I am a bit of a self confessed Franklin nut and a big fan of the shape of the eggs. They are also practical to tow with respect to aerodynamics. Interior looks very tidy and that is a rare layout (and size) in the egg. Out of curiosity how long is it? Cheers, Tinnie

Hi Tinnie, She is 18.5 feet long, 6 Berth the rear bed was a couch that folded down to a very small double bed, replaced it with a permanent bigger double bed. The bunks also fold down to become a couch. She is a great size and tows great for a big van. We use level rides and for the next trip I will have a anti sway bar in place as well, which should make towing even better Rex
