Dandy or Rapido

DannyBoy · 23rd July 2008, 10:40 AM

I have just sold my caravan and i am looking for a small folder. I am after either a Dandy or a Rapido Confortmatic. Must be cheap (under £300)
If you know of any let me know..... Ta

The Rapido Comfortmatic seem a bit of a pain to put up.....or am I thinking of the wrong one?

You are probably thinking of the comfortomatic, but I had the Exportomatic (6 berth) for many years. Once you have owned one they are not a pain, merely a Tardis and the easiest of Tows. Awnings front and back! Underfloor heating, separate kitchen with a serving hatch! Mine was converted with WC room.
The main down side is they temporarily went out of production for a year.....about 2 decades ago.
Would recomend a Rapido everytime. But beware, everyone wants a tour after they've seen it put up.
One little issue, difficult to erect in a gale.

The exportmatic is a bit bigger than I need for the two of us. If there's a gale I wont be camping

But I understand that if you put the first side into the wind it is a bit easier.

I did that at Forest of Dean and him and Phil kept me awake all night with their bodily function noises. That's why I got up early on the Sunday and woke him up......

I was awake, I had a soaking wet Womans Own slung at me at about 5.30!
