My New Dandy - First Time Setup

Tow Itch wrote: 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?

but the orange, browns greens don't have posh names like the blues only noted by measurement or berths yep I read the manual
and on the water on the roof I know what you mean I always get it can't work out why and how yet but something aint right

I Think I've figured out how to avoid getting wet now .......... I usually go to the front of the Dandy to avoid hitting shins on the tow bar and getting wet

I did do the tow bar side once and I got wet so I assume it's because our Dandy back wall (tow bar side) is lowered first so any excess water goes this way and whoever is stood there gets it.

Back home after an amazing couple of days, next trip booked for 4th - 6th May lol

I now have a list of projects I want to do

1. Rewire 12v electrics into mains hookup. - I have pretty much done this this weekend but now it works I need to tidy some wiring up.

2. Replace velcro - Bought the velcro so ready to go.

3. Fit a shelf above the sink and cooker, I have contemplated how to do this and I think I am going to permanently fix a shelf using folding hinges (like under the sink) so it folds down when I put the camper away. There seems to be enough room beneath where the wall folds to accommodate this. Am I right?

4. Replace mattress and seating foam and covers.

5. Make some bed leg bracket holders for the sides.

6. Stick dandycampers sticker on

If you go to the Yahoo group there is a file containing drawing for what has become the default above kitchen shelf.

Yahoo Group?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]but you need a yahoo mail and then register,not a very active group but a good source of info

The discovery will be erected this week at some point so I can take a picture and show how the shelf fits and can be removed for when you pack away.

Even towing height?

I have put a lot of thought into it and I think I have an idea for the shelf I am wanting.

I plan to build it in the next week and will take pictures.

It will be a fully foldable shelf which will fold away with the dandy

brilliant I will be very interested in seeing that as I need shelves

Changed my mind again, making it using spur shelving.

What is the width bearing in mind it is removable, I should be looking at.

I am thinking the width of the kitchen unit and sofa so quite large?

Maybe the length of the red line?

Guess if its removable the longer the better,there is always a shortage of space for items to stand on

you can never have enough workspace, we love ours but still wish we had more than we have.

Approx how long is that? Long enough for 110cm shelf board?

Before my time cm but if ime right and its about 3ft 8 inches then it sounds as though it should fit no problem

I changed my mind and didnt go as wide, but here she is

I can see a small clock sat on the middle of that shelf, perhaps a mirror for Helen too

Then again maybe more practical things like washing up liquid and the likes

Bloody brilliant for my P's & Q's but that's good thanks for the picy's so useful and easy to do

On a side note, I havent screwed the brackets into the shelves as this would easily break as the shelf is going to be removed a lot. What I did do was put 2 screws in the shelf that slightly protude and fit into the gap in the bracket preventing it from sliding around.

Now as a lot of you seem to know more about my dandy than me what model do I have? How much room do I have for a box on the A-Frame?

Looks like a discovery but as for a frame space i dont know but would have thought its the same on all 4/5 berth so if any one has built one there sizes should do nicely
