Herbert the Dandy Alternative

This looks an interesting buy for someone. Only one ever made. looks like PVC roof as a dandy but solid sides. Even has a toilet compartment!

It does look like a fabulous camper, too big for us and I wouldn't want to make the beds every day but definitely a character.

That's certainly a unique piece of history.

There's an old thread about it on another forum [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I wonder how high the bidding will go.

Very interesting and whether it is unique or not I've certainly never seen one.
It reminded me a bit of the Chateau Mobile camper but even the Chateau Mobile extends sideways.

I'd love to see how the van extends lengthways.
Considering that the person selling this is involved with the Small Motorhome And Friends Forum his idea of history is a little faulted.

As for having more space it is 10' by 6' 5" folded, extending to 12' by 6' 5" erect. I'd say the smallest Dandys 6' 6" by 4' extending to 6' 6" by 12' still has it beat for size and certainly beat for useable space. His child or children could be sharing their own bed in a Dandy.

Link to a piece on the later Everymans that did expand sideways. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
