G'day John, and welcome to the forum! ;D You'd probably have a better chance of winning the Lottery than finding parts for these old vans.   You could try looking through the websites of the caravan parts suppliers, such as Camec or Caravansplus, but don't get your hopes up. We have a sister forum for vans built between 1970 and 1979 that you could join, but that won't necessarily increase your chances of finding the bits you need. It's almost like you have to go buy another van the same as yours and build one good van out of two. This is the link to the other forum: Classic CaravansGood luck with your hunt. cheers, Al. |

Hey John,
good to hear you have bought a Franklin. Is it a fibreglass Franklin or a tinny?
Do you want a round 'glass van or will a square one do? If so there is a cheap Olympic fibreglass van on Ebay at the moment.
Welcome to the weird and wacky world of Vintage Vanning.
Cheers, Leigh.
