Thought i would share with you lot me new purchase, as i normaly use tents but wanted some thing a bit more easy to put up. Its a 70's model so i been told it has green sides and a white roof and was a bargain, and was wondering if any one has an old awning that will suit it going cheap lol.

How are you getting on with it? Could one person erect it? Please. I currently have a tent No space on drive for caravan so a decision bet Dandy , Combi camp & Camplet. There a Dandy on Preloved 1999 that looks reasonable.

MIne needs a bit off tlc here and there, only brough it last night so not really looked at properly yet, i've looked at no end of small trailer tents, small caravans all being too dear, but i was thinking off getting a combi camp, but the main reason i went for the dandy was simply because there easy to put up and made out off pvc so need to water proof it, mines a 4 berth i would say and would be no problem putting it up on my own as i am a male lol, but two people would make life easy.

Tunstallwood - i didnt no there was an owners club for dandy's lol.

Hope you enjoy it.  Good luck with the awning.

I have a couple more questions lol, would mini wheels fit the dandy as i dont have a spare and is there a way to find the date of when the dandy was made and thanks for the information so far.

if it still has the original suspension then Mini or Imp wheels will fit.

Mini & Imp wheels are not the same size.  The really old ones were off an Imp.  You'll need to look in classic car mags for wheel suppliers.  The newer 4 berth ones are 10" Mini wheels.  New wheels complete with tyre are £32 from Towsure.  Not sure about the 6 berth ones.
