Dandy trailer tent

Pretty typical bodge work eh? You wonder why when it's so easy to do it properly.

 

We saw a new Opus trailer tent while we were camping. I don't get it. £20k for a folding tent !!!! https://www.opuscamper.co.uk/all-road/pricing/

 

If they had straightened out the hinge then they could have used the original holes with slightly larger rivets and it would have been job done.
The mind boggles sometimes

Thankfully that’s the only bodge and the rest of it is 100% complete and original.

 

People must be parting with the cash though as they are popular

 

I didn’t know it was the same guy that designed these built the comma camper as well
Everyday is a school day

 

I used to clean the pvc with thinners,
bought it up like new, although it was blue and white..

 

I think a lot of people's choices are considerate of how and where it will be stored when not in use?
Compared to a T? Westy camper which are pushing ever nearer £100K (not to mention a long waiting list) and the price of caravans they perhaps look cheap!

 

My friend buys and sells caravans and trailer tents in Holland as a hobby / sideline - his neighbour does the photo shoots with them all styled out with some nice props and they make decent profits with really buying cheap and turning around following week with better marketing / lifestyle photos.
I am pretty impressed with these trailer tents if you need a storage friendly and easy to manage camping arrangement

 

What type of thinners?
I’d be worried about melting it

 

Standard thinners...
Was no problem, its tough that vinyl
Try it on peg bag if you have one,

 

I’ve fitted new bungee cord to the cover
Hopefully there will be no more bids for freedom from the legs or cover.

 

Thankfully this goes up reasonably easy and the cover has a foam insulating layer.
I did look into the folding caravans but this seemed a more practical option and is a big step up from the little tent we use for short trips away.
I just wish this one came with the heater

 

Just use the heater from by the bus, you’ll be toasty in no time.

 

The dandy heaters are easy to fit,
virtually just cut the hole in the floor..
Ours had one,
really warm but dont stand on it..

 

The heater that goes in the bus came from a dandy trailer tent

It needs a rebuild before it’s used though

 

Yes, but that’s not the one I meant.

 

ahhh I get ya

 

I remember...
i gave you details of the intake/exhaust plate,

Would be quite quick to fit in the dandy, until the bus is ready..
