Hybrid frame

So dedicated to research and development are Franklin Caravans, this caravan is constructed using a lightweight, polyurethane framework. Offering 42x19mm supports, the polyurethane material is 40% lighter than traditional meranti yet allows the flexibility to screw, staple or bolt, much the same as timber. Strategic elements of Aluminium have been introduced.

Computer-Cut Furniture

Franklin Core are renowned for their furniture construction, and the Ascot is the pinnacle of the range. Highlights include the lightweight solid ply cabinetry, metal-sided soft close drawers, concealed overhead catches and adjustable Italian hinges.

Leather Upholstery

A luxury caravan is not complete without the addition of genuine leather upholstery. The Concept Ascot is only finished with real, sustainably sourced leather throughout the seating, bunk ends, magazine racks and bed head.

Lithium Battery Management System

Powered by Projecta, the Franklin Core features a 200amp lithium battery mounted externally on the chassis, an all-in-one battery management system featuring solar regulator and DC:DC Charger, all monitored by a 7” Projecta screen display at entrance to easily control water, battery and solar requirements.

Floorplans

Ranging in size from 5380mm to 6810mm, the CORE is now available in four different layout styles, with four options for couples.
