Must be one of the most often asked questions – which type of dandy do I have?

Well over the next few days and weeks – maybe months -  I am gong to attempt to clarify what is what, adding pictures if I can – bear with me and feel free to comment

As a starting point the colour of the PVC walls is going to give you a pretty good clue as to the age of the dandy:

• Late 1960′s to early seventies – Green PVC walls were the earliest
• Early 1970′s – Orange PVC walls superseded the green
• Late 1970′s – Brown PVC walls introduced
• 1990′s – Blue and white PVC walls

Prior to the blue and white models – which were named – the dandy was known purely by its sleeping capacity. With many similarities between the units the easiest way to identify which model was which was by the width of the trailer:

• Dandy 4 Berth – 4 feet wide (122cm)
• Dandy 4/5 Berth – 4 feet 10 inches wide (147cm)
• Dandy 5 Berth – 5 feet 10 inches wide (178cm)
• Dandy 6 Berth – 6 feet 3 inches wide (190cm)

Following the introduction of the blue and white models, identification became a whole lot easier as the units were given names, but just for completeness:

• Dandy Dart -160cm (including wheelarches)
• Dandy Delta – 183cm (including wheelarches)
• Dandy Designer – 188cm
• Dandy Discovery – 188cm (Same as Designer but with bench instead of table/chairs)
• Dandy Destiny – 205cm
• Dandy Dimension – 205cm

More about these later…
