Don't think you can now they were over here about 10 years ago same probs as a ridge tent sloping sides limiting space,it also needed a specialised awning and you needed to be 12 foot tall to fit it + no weight advantage over folding vans or normal vans so basically they didn't sell well. THESE  used to be agents for them I think

I have seen a couple on Ebay in the past. Good luck in your search.

As Romany says, you can't get a new one over here now.They were only imported for one season from what I recall.

They are quite rare but occasionally come up on the seconhand market. I think there was one on E-bay about 6 months ago.

Just be mindful about how easy it is in obtaining spares. Just a thought.

If you can put one of these up in 20 seconds I'll start supporting the conservative party and hell will freeze over before that happens don't believe all the advertising you see  takes about the same time as a Gobur folding van trust me I've put up both

Yes you can put them up quickly.  We looked at them.  Yes, they are nearly 7' tall at the centre.  BUT, that is only the middle.  They are triangular, the seats have a sloping wall behind them, some had blow moulded windows to accomodate people sitting down.  Lots of home grown campers go up in about the same time & are much better space for your money.  And they look silly.  When I got the brochure, my wife threatened divorce if I so much as went to look at them (she wasn't sold on FCs at the time).

Hi, we've had a 1995 Dandy for 4 years now.  Only thing in there that smells bad is me.  As for ripping, I'd like to meet someone who could do it.  They are made from two layers of polyester/PVC sheet - what curtainsider trucks are made from, with foam insulation sandwiched between.  There is no way a human could tear it.  I have seen a few that are getting on for 40 year old, & are still used regularrly.  As for leaking, take it from me they do not.  We have camped in terrific storms both here & in the Alps & Pyrenees.  The Dandy has never let a drop in.  They are a cracking piece of kit.

Steve.
