As most of you know I finally found a dandy, here are a few pictures after learning to put it up.

It's lovely Shaun, well done it's a cracking buy.

Great and loads of space with that awning.

It's very own en-suite

looking good shaun
that awning is a cracker too

Looks fab.....what an awning!!! Well done, another lovely Dandy, hope you have many happy trips in it.

Thank you all, I wouldnt have known where to start or even met my dandy without all of you

I am going to rewire all the 12v electrics tomorrow as they currently run off battery and not the hookup.

My towbar gets fitted on Tuesday then I am free

On your achievement of putting it up for the first time.

Are your walls insulated? Are they padded like the roof? The reason I ask is the front ones are brown and white on the outside, and the back ones on the inside are all brown. I have seen two Dandys before which are insulated with brown insides.

I know a little about this particular Dandy and yes it is insulated with brown interior walls

I think my seeing of two Dandys with brown insulated walls remains at two.

I like this one, I think we had a guided tour of it when we were weighing up the pros and cons of buying a Dandy.

That'll be just the two still then Cazz

I didn't want to assume it was the same one, incase it wasn't.

It is and it is a great dandy, could do with a very classy, free brown matching font forum sticker to make it complete though

I totally agree.

Thanks for all your kind words, I cant wait for my first outing in it.

is the awning original cor I could do with an awning like that for my Daisy

That awnings massive

You could All most fit my ikkle Dandy inside it.

I might set the awning up again this weekend for practice as the site dont charge extra

Though beginning in D the Daisy is not an official Dandy name.
So is Daisy the 6 and your looking for an additional or canvas awning?
Or is it for the 4/5 I can't remember your awning situation with this?

ok you have me what is an official Dandy name ???? Daisy is the 4/5 ... I like the fact that it has and extra bit on it..

As always the extra bit makes all the difference.

Official name such as; Dash, Dart, Delta, Designer, Discovery, Dimension and Destiny. Oh or Regency.

Wouldn't it have to be a yellow one with a white roof for a Daisy?

I also put my dandy up for the first time last weekend and was real proud of myself , the only bummer for me is that my g/f has told that there is more chance of Jesus coming back to earth than her getting in that thing, as she calls it, im not complaining as it cost me nothing and as many people have said to that a second class sleep in a dandy is better than a cold wet sleep in a tent

I am now able to confirm that my dandy is 100% waterproof, no leaks anywhere

What is even better is the dandy wont need drying,just be careful if you pack up in the rain a pool often forms on the roof and it never runs off and hits the lady is always the man

Mark would agree with you so far, we haven't had much experience of erecting but, each time it has rained, it has dumped onto Mark when it came to putting away
