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!

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

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....

CadyEastman · 04/04/2024 20:51

How are you getting on @Fooshufflewickjbannanapants?

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 05/04/2024 13:54

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

rightoguvnor · 05/04/2024 15:31

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.

Helenloveslee4eva · 07/04/2024 16:24

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 !

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 28/05/2024 09:25

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!
