Dandy camper

[Fooshufflewickjbannanapants]

Squeeeeeee! Tomorrow I get my new to me dandy! I'm very excited and nerding out watching videos of putting it up and down, planning all the tweaks I can make and how much easier it will be than lugging my 5m bell tent down from the loft!

As in trailer tent?

I had one. Loved it.
Which model?

Yes the trailer tent, dandy discovery (the one with a bench not table) 5 berth it's sooooo cute! I can't wait!

You know we need pictures, right?

There is original awning too! Planning to refurbish the inside maybe in greys?

Oh it's lovely. I'm not surprised you're pleased.

Looks lovely! I have a trailer tent we are yet to use - really excited about using it when the weather it a bit better! They are such a great idea I think.

It's a slippery slope, give it a couple of years and you will have a caravan! 😉😁

Ah no definitely not! No where to store it for a start.

Oh congratulations! I'd love one!

Of that's excellent! They're so much better than canvas campers. I had one a few years ago then upgraded to a 1982 Eriba Puck. It's the same footprint as a large Dandy and lower than a normal caravan so don't think you won't be able to change....

How are you getting on @Fooshufflewickjbannanapants?

Hey not managed to get away yet my youngest recently has brain surgery so just awaiting the go ahead from neuro that all is well!

Wow I hope the surgery went well. I bet you're really looking forward to a break

Wow, that’s amazing, I wonder if it is where they got the idea for the tardis from!

I'm renovating an old 1984 Dandy 4, hoping to get away in it later this year. Just need to get the kitchen unit and electrics/water sorted.

Aww that takes me back !
we had a dandy when the kids were small.

thry are amazing bits of kit in a reliant robin way ❤️

practice getting the beds out and the legs secure - it’s quite heavy - if you are line camping people on site will always help.

the other thing is take a bag of rags / old towels to dry off the roof if you need to pack it after rain or dew , otherwise the wet runs into the unit !

Well I made it for my first camp, it's sooooooo brilliant! Had a day of drizzle then glorious now it's raining but we're all snuggly warm and dry and tomorrow is out last day and forecast wall to wall sunshine so when I pack up I can take my time and make sure it's all ready to go!

So, so glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the update
