    Its surprising what a little time and effort will do to make your Dandy more personal to you. You look really pleased and happy with her now I love you

    Back to your original question Jane Very Happy

    Extra roof bars at the ends
    Fitted electrics
    Quick release on the gas pipe
    New curtains

    The rest is original not perfect at 25 years old but we like it and its not bad.

    The awning

    Changed the curtain wires for dowel
    Zip out ends, the best thing we have done

    Things still to do

    Insulation

    Hi Jayne, as you know I make new curtains and cushions for my Dandy each year Laughing

    I adapted a royal traveller awning to fit our dandy but now have a Dandy awning and also a Dandy sun canopy.

    We added extra worktop - Shelf at the side of the sink and reinforced the top cupboard to take the weight.

    Put metal straps to hold the dandy legs in place when its erected.

    That's it up to now although we may fit electrics soon, we currently have an EHU that we just push up inside the dandy.

    We have also changed all of the gas pipes and water ones too and had new tyres recently these are just for our own peace of mind really. Not really a modification just maintenance but we have made the gas pipe and water pipes longer. Oh and we have a little support leg that we put just under the door entrance to stop any movement.

    We didnt do much as the person we got it off already had.

    I have throws for the sofa's because we have a baby who spills things so they have to come out to wash.
    New curtains

    ours has zip out awning sides and a zip on the front to make a door
    we have some shelves to put under the dandy beds and some home made skirts
    A couple of small shelfs and one bigger one that fits over the window.
    It has a well made top that fits over the sink and drainer
