    Wow!!! We need this here in the USA! Love the fabric that does not build up condensation and that it can be folded up even when wet...plus the insulating factor for heat or cold. BRILLIANT.

      @Kelly Kelly - we have this one - a bit older from the early 90's - so it's in light blue but the interior is the same as it was reupholstered by Riva before we bought it.
      I can confirm that you really can pack them away wet and then use them again without worry.
      Two years ago we packed up in a massive storm at Sidmouth folk week and didn't even check it until the following September (13 months later) when we arrived at Dartmoor to camp - everything was fine and Dandy - lol - no mould, no damp, all of our bedding was fine too - they are amazing.

    It is a shame that these are no longer made or indeed, in business. They seemed to have gotten a lot of things right. Bed supports that slide out and easily adjust to the appropriate height for the terrain, hard sided walls on the gable ends and sides, proper door and their thermo-bond technology that indeed, seemed to have lived up to its name. These should be resurrected with a more modern look and perhaps an easier set-up for the kitchen. Perhaps an off-road version (as Opus Campers have done) would boost sales also.

    I have had many Dandys over many years , they were great for family holidays when money was tight , and with practice putting them up , and folding them away is easy , ...do not put away wet , or dry as soon as possible, one negative , the material that it is made from was much better in the earlier models, ( the brown and light blue ones )the later dark blue material does not seem to be as good as the earlier material

    How much assembly are you willing to do to make the end product worthwhile. If you feel that your time is totally committed to assembling and disassembling a camper - is it worth it? When I get to a camping site, I want to spend a very limited amount of time assembling my camper. It kind of takes the joy out of camping.

    i wonder how all that aluminum held up under regular use. it looks really fragile. like idk if those little tiny poles that are supposed to hold up the beds would hold up with more than a child on them. that place to sit won't hold up with an adult leaning against it. also why do you have to basically build the hole thing inside and out once you get there. love the material innovation but the rest seems to have taken a few steps backwards! even for 2011!
