Hello and a Caravelle question

[gocaravelle]

Hello all,
After spending my former years restoring cars and motorcycles I am hoping that with my retirement next year I can but and work to restore an older caravan.
We will be moving from ACT to Victoria so I expect i will be looking for something in Vic in the future.
After much reading and research I have fallen for the late 60s Franklin Caravelle. Are they common, worth restoring and still useable on the road these days?
This is such a huge and amazing caravan knowledge base it is a privilege to be here. :-)
Cheers..Greg.

Hello & welcome Greg. Caravelles are certainly worthy of restoration. Here's a link to one my son, hubby & self restored.
