Just checked the log book and it was first registered in August 1988 and described as Ford Transit 80 Popular 2496cc. So is it still a mk3? Would love to get hold of an owners book if anyone knows where I could buy one.

Owners mauals for camper conversions can be as rare as rocking horse poop :(
However instuctions for things like your fridge and zig unit etc can sometimes be found :)
The base van is covered by a Haynes manual (86 to 99).
Pics will definately help us to help you, mate :D
Where would ya be without a can of W.D?

Could it have been an Auto-trail conversion? They still use the Frontier model name.
