Hi,
well our 1970 Franklin Regent is almost finished, she has already been on her maiden voyage to Kilcunda Caravan park near Phillip Island, Victoria.
Still need to repaint the stripes on the side to finish her, otherwise she is quite comfortable and sleeps 4 easy.
here are some before and after shots, the outside is just cleaner now


1st of May 2006 - first night home


Inside during restoration


Finished - looking towards the rear, we disposed of the fold down double bed and put in a permanent Double bed


Kitchen during resto


Cleaned up, new carpet and new covered foam


New table top and cushions


Clock from Award RV in Ferntree Gully - Looks Good !!!


Need to paint those stripes

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
