got one from an old member in Gloucester.
Complete unit cooker/grille and sink - right age, at first glance perfect - but its a couple of inches too long to go in! Grrr Just had a look in the for sales and saw its brother (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1981-DANDY-6-FOLDING-CAMPER-TRAILER-TENT-/260805478684?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cb937c91c) so now I know why it dont fit, its made to feed 6 not 4
Camping this weekend at the Sedgemoor steam and vintage rally, will see if I can reawaken my carpentry skills afterwards and make it fit.
Hinges still a problem, Riva dont reply to emails - the bottom section has a hinge that looks right at first glance but the centre is all wrong and it puts strain on the whole assembly - think its a much more modern one, no stamping on it like the other 4.
On a more positive note, I put the camper up today, scredriver in hand - tightening as I went and the assistance of a few bungees, bravely declined offers of help and had it done in 25 mins - not bad at all! Not tackled the awning yet tho!
