Those of a nervous disposition better sit down!!!!

I have a acquired a Brown Dandy 4 for the princely sum of......wait for it.....£40!!!!!!!
Put it up n it seems fine. Just needs a very good clean, a cooker/sink, new jockey wheel, and sorting out the spongy bit of the floor!!!

Can't believe my luck tbh.

The penny has just dropped as they say so many questions has PVC got into the blood then,do you still have the caravan,if so are you keeping both,and last but not least have you got your back sorted.

mike

well done kimmie thats excellent cant wait to see it

My back seems ok at the mo thanks, but then it's only the 4 so nowhere near as heavy as the six!
Yep keeping the caravan too for moments of complete idleness....or when the back hurts!
And keeping the Dutch tent too, cos it's one of the best made tents I've ever seen!
Sorry gotta go....scrubbing to do!

that's an amazing bargain!!

well done

( meaning the woman ) what a bargain

Back to Dandy Land Kimmie

That's the best bargain ever and it will be far easier on your back than the 6 was.

Just tried the leccy hookup and that works.
Got a heater going in there now drying it out.
Soooooooo chuffed with it!
Been looking everywhere for a cheapie to do up, so it pays to be obsessively looking!

Of course you know what this means Helen........I'll have to pop along to a rally n show it off!!
I need to see some piccies now for some inspiration! I've never had one with the roll down blinds on the windows next to the door

I'm so pleased you've got another Dandy and one you can play with a bit.

Really looking forward to finally meeting you. I like the roll down window blinds, we have them too

Aww thanks Helen !
I've been so busy this last year with my new job I haven't had proper chance to look for another. Must be obsessed by the PVC smell!
This one was on eBay for about 5 mins before I hit the buy it now. Wasn't completely sure that it was a dandy, but I figured for that price I could take the chance.
I've been and got some ikea material so watch this space. I'll do a before n after. When I work out how to loads pics!!!
Thanks all soo much for your lovely re-welcomes

Looking forward to seeing the before and after pics. I like to see what everyone doe's with their Dandy

Update
Spent the morning scrubbing the inside. Which, as my daughter would say was "minging"!!
Loads of mould, cobwebs and damp bits. All the mould came off with bathroom cleaner and cif.
The bottom of the door, the end panels next to the floor and most of the interior ply needs replacing as most of it
Has delaminated and rotten. Just happen to have some 18mm marine ply in the shed. Convenient that!
I want to get it somewhere near useable (tho nowhere near finished ) by next weekend as its my birthday on Saturday
And would like to give it an outing!
Someone had also taken out the door window and put hinges on it at the top so it opens outwards.....
Except that it doesn't shut properly and rain pours in. Hence the wet soggy bits!
No more time today. In fact no more time til thurs pm.
Work keeps getting in the way of my life!!!!

It's going to scrub up fine, £40 ......... I am still amazed, a new tyre cost us £35.

well done with your bargain,

Aww thanks. Now calling him Weakly, as that's what the floor looked like when i peeled back the carpet! So far I've replaced the bottom half of the door, and am in the process of replacing half the floor which has crumbled away in a sludgy mess.
