First full trip out in the dandy this weekend having bought last August. And having taken on the task of erecting the pvc awning, i was wondering if i should make a video. Various videos have helped us put the dandy up and was going to give something back to the little community. -).

On some side notes, i put the awning up but i am left with a front section size chunk of pvc with a window but have not got the foggiest idea what its for, its 3m ish wide by 2m ish high with window.
any ideas??

also im missing a bed section roof pole and was gonna ring riva dandy unless any of you kind peeps can help me out with suggestions or spares..( i will pay).

also need velcro and a groundsheet.

anyway enough of my waffle, any help would be gratefully accepted. let me know if you think the awning video would be welcomed.

The only confusion can be on the gable end where the left side is shorter, so I just think "it has a bit left out." (ouch)

Yes, I think that's what's putting us both off.

We put down the Destiny for the first time in the rain today and I can tell you that it did not make for harmonious relationships.

The cunning plan of one party keeping the roof taut while the other drops the front and back walls failed miserably and it's quite amazing how much water can flow off that large roof straight into the carefully packed camper.

After much screaming & shouting (well we've all got to take our turn at entertaining the other campers on site ), we concluded that a slightly more cunning plan might be to buy a long-handled squeege or mop to clear the bulk of the water off the roof before we pack up wet in the future.
