Gday.I have recently purchased a lovely old 1980 franklin Snipe van circa 1980. My wife and I really enjoy a couple of nights on the Murray every few weeks but some of the real good spots prevent us from taking our big van in due to trees and tight turns etc .So this little 12 footer is ideal.The outside w...
