    Cross now! I contacted the seller through preloved (and paid £5 to upgrade my membership so I could contact before 10 days were up???) and was being very impatient as she didn't answer.

    I checked my account which said I hadn't sent any messages - so sent another (still nothing) - I am becoming a bit of a stalker at this point so followed the links on here as she is a member and pm'd her from this forum - and immediately got a response from her as she hadn't had anything from me through Preloved - aarrgghhh!!!

    Oh well, she knows I'm interested now just need to arrange a visit Very Happy

    Hooray Hello and help! - Page 2 3517506835 we have a Dandy!!!

    I think that now means we have more questions than before though.

    The cover is pretty battered and no longer watertight so can we create something to replace it, or is there an inexpensive way to do it properly?

    Also, what do people generally do for fridges, toilets and lighting? Now we have seen it, we can't decide what would be the best way to do these.

    I'm sure as we attempt to put it up and practice, I will have lots more questions but they are the first ones that have come up

    You can see in this thread where my loo goes

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

    and when we don't have the awning with us we use this

    And for lights, we like the gas lanterns as they give off heat too but there are lots of better options when camping with little ones so we also have wind up LED lanterns plus a few battery operated ones too.

    Ha haa, I love the term en-suite, I'm definitely using that when we go away with our friends in posh caravans!!!! That's a really simple idea with the curtain though, I will try that

    Thank you

    They're all going to be so impressed with the space you have in your Dandy and its far easier to tow than a caravan Very Happy

    Hello and help! - Page 2 1428739134 on your new purchase, I can feel your excitement. Hello and help! - Page 2 2308263648

    We also use a porta loo and a three way fridge. Our green cover has over 35 holes in it, so we lay the roof in such a way underneath to keep the wood dry.

    You could always use a tarp under the cover that'll double up as a ground sheet, or contact Mick

    Mike had a new cover made local to him and had it made deeper so he could put stuff on top of the Dandy and cover it all over with his extra deep cover Very Happy
