We've just brought one of these to mainly use as a shower cubicle, as we now have a external shower point on the FC, but on the first use found the frame to be very unstable - poor design. The guide ropes are only attached to the top cover. In windy conditions the frame just slides from underneath it. One of the fibreglass poles split. The toilet tent version (i.e. not shower cubicle) has a much more ridge frame even without guide ropes. So if your going for a Sunncamp one I would recommend you avoid the shower cubicle version show above until they improve the design.

Katie, I used shower curtains in the Dandy, the kind with rings and then clipped them to the poles, worked really well.

We put up a windbreaker in the awning (in one of the corners) and it works a treat.  Solar light hangs off one pole and toilet rolll on the other..... and certainly no smell......

it was the 'fragile' fibreglass poles on our original tent that led us to this one - which has nice sturdy metallic poles, and an angled plastic bracket to form the roof.  so much better than the two fibreglass pole that run from one corner on the gorund to the opposite one, crossing over the top in the same fashion as a dome tent.

Precisely!  No toilet tent needed.  Mind you, get your visit to the loo in B4 the wife, or elsh she fills the thing up first.

Isn't it amazing how many posts this subject attracts!!!

We put ours in the awning just for the nightime visits but we have a little movement activated light just next to it. Such mod cons.

By the way Caddyman I love your extra rooms on your awning. Where do you get them from?

When we had our folding camper- we had a curtain made that sectioned off a part of the awning for night time and morning washes.  We had a toilet tent outside and brought the loo ina t night because of the kids and nightime loo visits.  We also used to toilet tent for showering in, we used a paddling pool on the floor and my ubby held the shower for me and visa versa and I did the kids, the little one didnt like the shower so he just had the paddling pool.  Had everyone baffled when we sat with wet hair- in a folding camper, they all presumed we didmt shower.  Not us.  Gary
