The above link will take you to the site who make and restore Dandy Trailer Tents.

I'm sure more peps on this site will give you lots more info though.

Dandy was the name of the manufacturer but they changed to Riva - can't remember why now, management buy out or something. Everyone still refers to them as Dandys but they are made by Riva, who can still supply bits for old ones.

Conway & Pennine used to be two different manufacturers but Pennine bought Conway out and they now make folding campers under both names. But Pennine have never made trailer tents, although Conway used to.

Other folding camper manufacturers you may come across are Trigano, also Bonair (American Imports), and there are some old ones by Creighton Binns still about.

Then there are Combi-Camps and Camplets which are a halfway stage between a folding camper and a trailer tent. Also some Raclets and Commanches are a similar idea. 

Then there are trailer tents.

Maybe I am reading that last line in the wrong way .But what is wrong with trailer tents ?

Sorry Pecker, didn't meant to offend.

I just don't know anything about proper trailer tents 'cos I've never had one, and I didn't think the original poster was interested in anything that basic.

I've owned a Conway Cardinal, Conway Countryman, Combi Camp Easy & Combi Camp Family and have friends who have/had Pennine Aztec & Pathfinder, Conway Cruiser & Crusader, Combi Camp Venezia, Panda and another I can't remember the name of, and an old Dandy.

So I feel qualified to talk about them but not, I'm afraid, about proper trailer tents.
