Re: Franklin caravan renovation
Congrats @Peggers, another amazing transformation.
I'm sure our members will be inspired by your work.
I should also link to your informative How to renovate a caravan series for those who want to renovate their own retro van.

Re: Franklin caravan renovation
@Peggers - I have to say that I’m loving these caravan restorations, and yours looks lovely. I’m also noticing a lot of older caravans in my local area. There’s a real oldie that’s been converted to a food van, and a couple of “mid-range” oldies that are obviously used as caravans.
Congrats on your Reno, it must be very satisfying, love the colours that you’ve used as well, cheers Deb

Re: Franklin caravan renovation
Hi @Flamingcupie,
Welcome to the Workshop community. Have you got a caravan that you are renovating? We'd love to see it!
Let me tag @Peggers for you so he is alerted to your question about what paint he used when restoring the van.
You might also be interested in reading Rob's How to renovate a caravan series and his guide How to paint like a professional.
Please feel free to post anytime you need a hand with a project, or have something to share.
Thanks,
Jason
