Bad Points

Needs two adults to unfold and erect the poles and canvass which can be difficult if one of you is on the short side. No reversing gear in the mechanism so you have to unhook the van from the car to be able to position it correctly on site. No means of balancing the van if parked on a slope. Use wheel chocks to counter the mis-balance.


General Comments

The Dandy Trailer Tent is well made, very light to tow( if fact, you forget at times that the van's hooked on the car!), sufficiently comfortable (well you are camping are'nt you?), the underfloor heating is useful, the four hardboard walls make it feel that you are in a proper caravan, no storage charges (easy to park in the front garden), very cheap to maintain. Our tip is that you require a number of different sized bungee cords to give the poles that bit more stability. Once the poles are erected and the canvass is covered, simply place the cords on both poles near the kitchen area and door and this will ensure that the poles do not seperate from the grasps and will keep the canvass firm and stop the fear that it will collapse while you sleep.

    Get one with gas springs, or have them fitted - not hard to do. If the roof is tensioned on the frame the bungees aren't really needed.
