    We have only recently bought our Dandy Dart, 4 birth trailer/folding camper, I have put it up once and found it really easy, needed a good clean and some of the rivets had come away, but took no time replace them also a couple of the welds will need fixing, not yet done, but she is the same age as my daughter 15 and she has her faults.

    although we have not yet been away in her, I am generally very Impressed, i will update info after our first Holiday!

    Just sbout to join the DANDY OWNERS CLUB!!... LOOK IT UP!

    i bought a dandy 4 berth trailer tent last year. It was first purchased in 1972, is this the oldest one still on the road? The previous owner has replaced the roof on both the tent and the awning. It is difficult to put up. However the matteress have stood the test of time and are very comfortable (I've had back problems for years and I am find very few beds comfortable to sleep in). The tent area is large enough to move around with ease and so is the awning. We are still using the original ...

    bought our dandy this year and love it . we have the blue and white dart , looks good ,and the best part is putting it away when it's wet .
    we have a new awning with ours which look's better than the old ones, would recomend the dandy to anyone ,also put wood flooring down it gives the floor more support and it is easier to keep clean .
    all we need now is to buy another skirt and we are all done .we love our dandy and would never have any other trailer tent now .buy one you will be amazed , and ...

    The Dandy Trailer Tent is a great Camper, we have an older dandy but still in good condition.

    The revew was excellent, and showed what Dandies are like.
    We had our Dandy up and ready in 12mins Before the rain came and then no worries, weather no prob.

    Bought the Dandy Trailer Tent last year and its great. Away most weekends no matter what the weather. Have had caravans, tents, motor homes and trailer tents but find this the best all-rounder. Easy to erect but find awning heavy and a chore but once erected its got lots of space and comfort. Fully waterproof, windproof, warm in winter, cool in summer. Can be erected from arriving on site to starting bbq in 30 mins maximum. Certainly recommend, maybe pricey but built to last.

    I have a Dandy Delta, blue and white Trailer Tent. Go for one with an awning as they are hard to obtain later on. Have been in heavy storms and high winds, the feeling you get looking out at people trying to peg down there tents while you have your kettle on makes the whole dandy experience. I brought mine on ebay I replaced both tyres and one rivet to the inner tent and thats it. Often go away in winter also with my kids they love it. It's cheap warm and comfy what else can you really ask for. ...

    Once you have put the Dandy Trailer Tent camper up a couple of times it is really easy to do just remember the strings which are attached as these are a good help. I have folded camper up single handed in half an hour and i am woman in fiftys and not in best of health but it is really easy. Warm inside double glazed windows and secure double glazed door, what can i say but buy one you wont be disappointed.

    We got an old dandy last year, it is lovely and warm. it does not rot or smell musty due to poor weather. ours is only a 4 berth but the 6 berth ones are much bigger. looking to upgrade to a bigger one soon when we find one for reasonable price. they hold the value because they are quality better than canvas trailer tents.

    I found the Dandy Trailer Tent is easy to erect, even in the rain!
    Snug and warm with no draughts
    Easily cleaned

    Could do with slot-on shelf to kitchen sink for room to put things on, as not much room to place things when cooking inside when weather bad,
    Awning very heavy and not easily put on.

    Bought July 2008 and very satisfied with it.

    Dandy Trailer Tents are extremely strong, 100% waterproof, easy to tow with a small car, excellent support from the manufacturer. Biggest + is the fabric. Made from two layers of PVC with foam insulation so you can pack it away wet, unlike canvas.

    We have had a 1995 Designer camper since 2005. Been all over Europe & the UK in it. It has stood up to horrendous weather, & provided cheap family holidays all that time. Don't dismiss an old one, as they do genuinely last 30+ years in regular u ...

    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 e ...

    Although she is a 70s model and showing her age (the chassis needs a small repair) once repaired I am sure she will last for years. The beds were converted to bunks (better for four guys) and were susprisingly comfortable.

    I have never been in a trailer tent, but the dandy delta, to me is like a mini caravan without the trouble of towing one. It is easy and quick to erect and warm, cosy and snug inside. I cant praise my dandy enough, even though it is 20 years old. Can't wait for the spring so as to use it again.

    We love our Dandy sold our sunncamp trailer tent to buy it,even though its a 80's model and a bit dated wouldn't part with for love nor money. waterproof, warm, spacious, easier to tow than a caravan, the pvc lasts forever, much more stable than a tent, caravan.

    Recently bought our Dandy trailer tent and it was a dream to tow on the 160 mile journey home through Welsh mountain roads and floods!Even without instructions we managed to put it up the first time in less than an hour, so far less than it took us to put up our tent!Would recommend a Dandy to anyone.

    I wouldn't change to any other make than the dandy/riva. they are the best folding campers ever! Fully waterproof pvc keeps you warm and snug in the winter and cool in the summer. very stable in high winds unlike a canvas camper.

    Used a 5 birth Dandy trailer tent for the last 3 years, bought on EBay, old I think 1980 - absolutely superb - cover leaks a bit, so had it standing through the winter in the garden - still dry as a bone inside - easy to put up.
    Not a lot else to say - they hold their value - light weight, easy to tow - lots of storage.
