    Hi john,

    The only instructions I have are the ones posted here – should give you a pretty good idea of how the 6-berth goes together

    Can anyone tell me if I can purchase a lightweight awning to fit my Dandy Dart (2006 model). Have PVC one but find it too heavy. Have heard the Outdoor Revolution Movelite xl fits Dandy Delta but what about fitting the Dart? Also how do they attach? Any information appreciated.

    I agree with John, I recently purchased an old dandy 6 and the general instructions sound easy, but it doesnt happen like that, the hoops are knackered and loose, it seems a real struggle.
    It would be great if a current Dandy 6 owner could take pictures of their technique and post a set. I still cant get the roof up properly and generally end up taking it off completely and dragging it over when the walls have been erected.
    I am sure there is a quicker way, but I am blowed if I can work it out 🙁

    Hi Rick, Unfortunately I dont have a dandy 6 and had assumed that the errection would be similar to the 4/5 berth models- certianly the trick with these is to make sure the strings from the hoops to the bed base are in place, and the correct length before opening the beds. Without these it would be a struggle as you describe. I also think it helps if the underside of the roof is “shiny” and slides over the hoops as they go up – Mr Sheen polish is excellent for this! Hopefully a 6 berth owner will be along shortly to enlighten you further…

    If any owner of a six berth dandy could supply me with the length of the cords which helps to lift the roof. I would be very grateful.

    I live in Italy and I am interested in buying a trailer tent , new or used, but want to see the choice available before deciding.
    I am writing to ask where it is possible to see trailer tents,
    1. At which exhibitions in Europe are there trailer tents on show?
    2. Which dealers in Europe actually have trailer tents (and not just the catalogue)?
    3. I will be visiting the Foire Internationale in Nantes, France in mid April. Will there be trailer tents on display there?

    Thank you for any information you can give me on how and where to see trailer tents!
