Potential New Dandy Owner Saying Hello

Just like to start by saying Hello to all. hopefully in the right section.

had a wee look around the site and was very impressed by the amount of feedback and chatter amongst members.

I live in Scotland and have a wife and 3 horrible children

We have been using a 5 man tunnel tent for our camping and have decided that we are going to tyr and purchase a Dandy having looked at the alternatives this seems to be the one for us.
i am looking at an 80's model 6 I believe old brown one with 6 beds.
I believe that some work has been carried out on it and hopefully my wee citroen c4 hdi will tow her with out puffing
with any luck we should have our own Dandy by end of next week all going to plan.

Cheers for now Tom

Hi and welcome to the forum

The Dandy 6 is a good size for a family, I'm sure you won't be dissapointed when you do find your Dandy.

thanks

hope it goes to plan

If you need any help or have questions then just ask there's always someone who will have advice or idea's

Hi Tom,

I like the way you describe your children,

Good luck with you new Dandy, fingers crossed it all goes to plan for you.

Cazz - that was me being polite
if it was up to me I would be looking for a nice new tent for me and my bike instead of a family unit

Hi Tom and

Hope the Dandy Hunt is successful.

Like the description.

Oh dear, how old are they all? How many years are they from leaving home?

Our 1.6HDi Peugeot 307 doesn't have a problem towing our Dandy 6. On that basis your C4 shouldn't have a problem as it is mechanically similar to the Peugeot 307. Besides I've have seen a Dandy 6 being towed by a VW Polo!

Welcome the 6 is a good choice i tow my 6 with a 1200 punto even with your hills you should be ok with your c4

welcome and thank you for the kind words about the forum, glad you like how it works

congratulations on getting a 6, if i could put one up on my own i'd go for a 6 too as they are lovely and a great size for your family - if the kids get too horrid just make them sleep underneath the beds lol

Tom

Are you like your I.D. and have no doubt about your intended purchase?
Or do you have some trepidation?
Have you read the guides and hints as to what to look for in your intended purchase?
Any Questions?

Best of luck with it all

Kevin.

Hi Tom, and Welcome.
I am quite a new member myself, having bought my Dandy 6 (Destiny) last Sunday.
The members on here are, as you see, very helpful and very friendly. It has been a Godsend when making decisions, and when stuck.
Hope you get your Dandy 6.
Good Luck.
Kriston

Hello Tom

Dont worry kids grow up and leave home eventualy



John

ive been waiting for 10years, still no joy

You have a while to go yet, but when it happens it seems to happen fast. Our two moved out within a month of each other and after waiting all of those years, we found it horrible at first. The house felt empty but after not too long we found it rather nice to have the place to ourselves

I never had kids Nancy had 4 supposedly young adults when i met her,she had a nice little end terrace hose with a garage and a back garden you could drive into,i realy wanted to sell my house and move in there but decided it was there home and they would always feel they could move back any time so we sold hers and live in mine,i was too old to start with kids of any age

Hi everyone we have an old Dandy 4, we purchased it on ebay two years ago and love it. I posted a couple of photo's on Fb last night. Looking forward to srping and the start of the camping season
