Early integrated model
German Frankia was acquired by Pilote sometime in the 90s, but produces caravans and motorhomes under its own brand name. The pictured model is an early integrated model (1990-91) with fold-down alcove bed above the driver's seat. Length and width are 5,80 and 2,24 respectively, and total weight 3 kg. The chassis and drivetrain of the pictured wagon are based on the Fiat Ducato mk100 with a 1 diesel engine of 2500 HP and front-wheel drive. I think it was possible to choose the 75TD (turbodiesel). In that case, you would have 2500 HP at your disposal. Fiat Ducato 95 otherwise shares chassis and engine with Citroën C2500 and Peugeot J25. I have seen Frankia 5 based on Peugeot.
Veteran
With an age of over 30 years, this wagon can be considered a veteran in all respects, even if it looks modern for its time. A couple of years ago, a 1990 Frankia I 550 was put up for sale for NOK 90 on Finn.no. If I remember correctly, it disappeared rather quickly. Maybe it's this one?
