I've only just noticed that pic - thanks, Chris!!! lol!

I've got a folding camper now, a Dandy, and I love it - I'm sure next time I put it up it won't take so long as I think now I've sussed out how to it the right way round - and towing is a lot easier than I thought, in fact kept forgetting it was there and going over the 60 mph allowed!

Thanks for that folks, interesting stuff.

The 'biggy' for me is the storage, but I can see the 'wet weather' problem.

The Dandy is made of PVC, you can put it away wet & it won't rot. The one I have just bought is over 20 years old, and not any rot/mould anywhere. So much space, too, and plenty of room for storage in the lockers.

Some of the Folding Campers are quite tall, their floorspace is almost as big as a caravan.

The Combi's and Trailer tents are generally lower, as they don't have to allow for all the internal furniture which is part and parcel of a FC.

Go for a Dandy - we've had ours ten years (a 1989 model). The teenagers sleep in tents now as its only the four berth and Dad and I love to stretch out on the beds on an evening and read, but they keep coming with us and they could still sleep in wiht us but that's not cool at their age.  Little Un says when we get our next Dandy he wants the current one - he's 15 and doesn't drive yet.  Says he'll put it up in the garden and live in it till he can use it himself!!

Its fully winterised so he'll be fine

Your right, I've just looked on the Pennine website and there is one in development, due out in 18-months.

Pennine must also own Conway.
