    Just replaced our Dandy Designer with a 97 Destiny. Wow can't believe how much bigger it is inside. Very happy with our purchase from Ian at Dandy Riva,  despite a tyre blow out on the way home down the M6. Ordering two new tyre tommorow getting 155 R12 (T R or S) load capacity of 77/78 or 86/88 not sure which is correct.  Not to bad to put up easier in some ways than the designer spend the day getting it up cleaned and fitted out with our own stuff. Very Happy

    This one I guess:

    You're lucky, I've had my eye on that one myself to replace our designer but lack of room on the drive and a few other distractions at the same time stopped me. I think that is the best destiny there is as it has a nice open layout, lots of seating and space but is not too unwieldy. Also a 4 ring cooker

    It looks a good one with the heater and awning etc.

    Nice unit, Simon, and it certainly looks to have plenty of room. Smile

    Do you think it's possible to get to the fridge and put stuff in it without erecting the unit. It looks like you can open the bottom half of the door and get to the fridge, but will need the wardrobe and kitchen unit not to be in the way.

    Congratulations Simon, that looks to be in great condition.

    The light blue Destinys are great units. My later one sacrifices a lot in terms of layout, size, weight, and I suspect overall build quality for the sake of an onboard loo. However, keeping the ladies of the family happy overrides all other considerations Smile

    Yes its a shame they didn't make a 4 berth toilet model in the high side length.

    They could have put an L shaped seating area with the left hand bed/settee and a settee/storage where the kitchen is and free standing table. Then put a toilet cubicle between the wardrobe and right hand bed with the kitchen opposite. That would be 2 doubles. The toilet cubicle would be easier as the wardrobe would be one wall. The shorter length would be much easier to erect, store and tow.

    Families are smaller now so a 6 berth is not so necessary although they could still offer it as an option.

    We are going to get two new tyres fitted tomorrow since the blow out better to be safe than sorry. The build quality of dandy's never stop's amazing me,our new destiny (new to us) is 17 years old and is in great condition her previous owners should be very proud! Going to remove the carpet and get lino fitted, two young girls wit muddy feet and carpet not a good match! Off to the north Norfolk coast for Easter can't wait!

    Great looking unit Simon, welcome to the world of Dandys

    I'm surprised it's got an underfloor heater at the young age of 17 as I thought they'd stopped doing them 93/94.
