Dandy are another well known camper maker who have been around for over 30 years now. The Dandy name also now includes the Riva brand, but the quality is a good as ever. If you happen to own a Dandy or Riva folding camper then you can join the owners club and meet up with and learn all about them from other owners. This is a great way to get to know your camper from experienced people who can give you valuable information.

The Dandy range starts with the Dandy which is the entry level folding camper. It is probably best used for short stays if you just use the main cabin area, but if you have an awning then you are more well equipped for longer holidays. It can sleep up to 4 people if you make use of the settee that can be made up to another double sized bed.

As the picture shows, it is very compact and is easy to both set up and tow. It only weighs 350kgs so it will be good on fuel for your towing vehicle. Inside there is a kitchen with a hob and grill. You will also find a sink unit for washing your pots and pans. There are 4 windows in total, two of which are double glazed. All these windows have stylish curtains and tie backs which go well with the interior upholstery. The flooring is wood effect and the roof is lined for that extra bit of style. Outside there is a storage area for your gas bottle and the spare wheel. The Dart is designed to be an easy camper to use, suitable for all kinds of conditions and giving good levels of comfort. It has been around for many years, and has sold very well.

The Dandy Designer is next in the line up, and is a step up in size and specification. In here you can sleep up to 5 people if needed. There is a permanent double bed and the large settee can be made into another double bed, and if needed, the central table can be converted into a single bed. This camper is ideal for small families and longer breaks.

The Designer has 5 windows, two of which are double glazed like the Dart. There is ample seating space and a larger table for meal times. Again, there are curtains all round and the roof and side walls are fully insulated for when the weather gets a bit colder, like in Autumn. The inside is very well built and the colours are fresh and stylish. Everything matches well in here, and the wood effect floor adds to the overall feel. The weight is 395kgs and can still be towed with a small car with ease. This is just one of the benefits of folding campers, they are nowhere near the hassle of towing caravans, and can be stored in the garage if you have one.

Next up is the Dandy Destiny, which can slep up to 6 people, so it is designed for larger families, or for bringing guests along with you. It has a great standard specification, and is one of the top campers avaiable today for the price. The main difference between the Destiny and the others is that is features a toilet and wash area, which looks great. The kitchen also has a fridge as well as the double hob, grill and sink/drainer unit. There is also plenty of storage space for cooking utensils and food.

As you can see, the inide is a nice place to, with lots of spacious seating and a large table in there. You will also find wardrobes and drawers for your clothes which are very well put together and go well with all the fittings and fixtures, not to mention the fabrics and curtains. You get a real sense of function and useability in this camper. There are 3 double glazed windows which can be opened for air circulation on warmer days. Good interior lighting is also standard in the Destiny. If you an awning or room extension then you will have the perfect little holiday home for all the family. A very popular choice for the money.

The final camper in the Dandy series is the Dimension, which is similar to the Destiny but does not have the onboard toilet and washing area. However, it has power assisted beds and side walls, so this makes it very easy to set up when you are in a hurry. These extra standard features just make your life that bit easier. The Dimension has the same luxury interior styling with all the trappings of a well made camper. It can sleep 6 people in comfort and you have loads of space inside to relax and enjoy yourself. If you want to camping in style then this is the right choice, and is the latest in the Dandy line up.

The Dandy range is both well made and practical. The fact that there are so many around after years of use is testament to their build quality and design. The used market has quite a few to choose from, some of which are well over 20 years old now. You may find you can pick up a bargain if you know what to look for.
