Enjoy your stay, and take so pics.

Camo netting overt it will do the trick

Thanks for all the replies.

Ok, so welds are fine, water tastes great (and we're not dead yet from drinking it). Paint scheme is still undetermined but will be close to original, maybe with different stripes as the early 70's vans looked a bit better in that regard.

I do have a cammo net that I might take to Melrose if I can find it...

I'll post some pics of the event as I can.

I recon you should go retro, like this :P

You wouldn't paint a caravan any colour other than white...... It'd be too hot to ever use otherwise. Imagine how hot a caravan painted up in camouflage colours would get. Though he's one step ahead on this front.... given his caravan is a franklin is is foam sandwich .... so basically a coolroom in construction.

Unlike my Millard... no insulation!

I would suggest to paint the blue bits the same camouflage scheme as the 101.

Have a look at the "fully insulated" new caravans here:

Caravaners Forum • View topic - ROGUES GALLERY or HORROR STORY ???

I wouldn't buy a new caravan unless if was a sandwich construction.... I'd probably go an import with upgraded ratings ( I don't need to worry about his unless I win tattslotto though



An aussie made "fully insulated" 'van

It will be white, with some coloured bits...

The construction of the Franklin makes it very usable, even on a warm day. Just got up from an afternoon nap - it's 29 outside and the vans in the full sun - not r really any warmer in there than outside. Certainly no hot box
