I chose my Dandy because it fits in the garage, is warm and comfortable and can be put away wet with no problems, we don't have to put the awning up so don't always have to peg down. The unit can be erected in around 15 minutes, it's easy to tow with a smaller car, even though we have now got a large vehicle, and we can use it on a caravan site or tent site so the best of both really. I do like to camp in a tent but getting up off the bed was becoming a problem and we didn't want to give up camping altogether so this was the best alternative for us. As it is made of PVC no need to reproof and in the 9 years we have had it the Dandy has served us well.
