We've been down the tent road followed by a caravan then back to tent When I was in ther tent I wanted a caravan for winter trips and a comfier bed. When I was in the caravan I used to gaze longingly at the tents and felt I wasn't really camping!!!!!

What I really fancy now is either a Combicamp, Comanche Montana or a Dandy. I have actually wanted a Dandy for years but up till now couldn't afford a new one but I've noticed some people saying Riva went bust and you can't get a new one now???

Anyway, I need something that can sleep 2 adults and a 12 year old who is as tall as an adult......must be something in the water

Can anyone help?

Hi Lesley, know exactly what you mean, we liked our tents but wanted a big comfortable bed that was off the ground and a built in kitchen. After a lot of research we bought a combi camp venezia demo model off Siggi with the king size slatted bed, rear annexe, porch awning plus a sun awning. You can get a different bed arrangement instead of the king size but we went for ours as our grandson would only be with us infrequently. We have had caravanners comment at the space and are amazed at the comfort & you feel you are still camping not living in a white box.

Hope this helps,

Thanks to everyone who replied - all really helpfull.  I am going to have to look about now for stockists but I dont think there are that many here in central Scotland.....this may call for a weekend away.........Oh no

If I'm set on a Dandy then I guess I'll have to look on ebay, papers, preloved - anywhere else?

Oh my, I'm getting all excited at the thought of it all.  Might need to wait till after Christmas so I have some money lol

Have a look at the Camplet-Concorde    2 large double bedrooms, acres of space, very low and light for towing.

• hi there we had the same debate over our trailer tent so we got a mid 80's dandy off ebay not used it yet but we would never look back,if its adandy you want there is one on ebay at the moment its old but looks ok and its on £62.00, 22 hours left item no:260311487055 its similar to ours same colour and design but ours is bigger being a 6 berth hope this helps and good luck with your search.  regards zoe.
