If anyone wants free and friendly advice, just look up the Dandy Owners Club website and look where the rallies are.
You will find plenty of enthusiasts ready to talk about how to erect and fold a dandy and also show off all the extra modifications they have done.
You will find a warm welcome waiting for you. Just one thing, you have to be a member to rally with the Club (indemnity implications) but you do not have to be a member to pay a day visit (dandyless of course).
The Dandy definitely not a sweatbox. We took our old one to the South of France last July/August and it was fine. I remember spending a week in a caravan in the Loire, a few years ago, and the whole tin box got so hot that I thought we were going to be roasted alive inside.
Our Dandy seems to be cool in summer and warm in winter - it also survived storm conditions / torrential rain a few weeks ago.
I love my Raclet but would not ever condemn another model TT and I can definitely see the advantages of being able to pack away when it has been raining.
Someone once said to me that many people who make comments on things are just jealous because they haven't got one

Hi Cat,
We don't collect it until the 19th - it took us a while to organise that much money!!!! The waiting is killing us.
From Caseys near Chester. They demo'ed it several times and let us put it up and down a couple of times - takes about 30 seconds! Can't praise them highly enough. No pressure to buy at all.
So we wont be getting away until half-term, unless we can grab a weekend night before then.
Will let you know how it goes.
The Dandy comments were firmly tongue in cheek, by the way, and I don't at all think they should have their own PVC sub-forum (oops, I've done it again - as the knickerless one sang.)

Sounds like the dealer may have have had some other more 'intimate' experiences of sweaty PVC that caused him to be so mistakenly presumptuous about Dandys.
Hi all, just come back from spending the weekend in 'Drummel' it was cold, wet and windy, but we were warm and comfie inside. We came back at 11.00 as the snow was getting bad, and we didn't know what the roads would be like, GC got most of the fiddly jobs done, new velcro etc, plus he did some work on the one that we have just sold to the man with 'Brummel' which incidentally is still for sale.
I think that we are almost ready to venture off the storage site now, off in to the 'wide blue yonder'. If the snow ever stops.
