Hi

We have bought a second hand Bailey Ranger 550/6

It does not appear to have a spare wheel so we would like to ourchase one but I have no idea how I do this or where i would go?

In additition I would also like to get the tyres checked on the caravan - can I just take this to a normal tyre centre?

 

Sorry for what is probably very obvious questions but complete newbie here!

Thanks

you can get a spare from a dealer.

In additition I would also like to get the tyres checked on the caravan - can I just take this to a normal tyre centre?

at a guess from the pictures on ebay i think your tyre will be 195/70/14/96N.

bailey part number 1140040.

these tyres should be changed at 5 year old or if any cracks on the side.found it near impossible to buy these tyres without going through a dealer at £111 each plus fitting.called in a mobile fitter and he did it at home and balanced them as well.

got these in the end (tyre size and date is on the wall of the tyre)

Yes you can get them checked at a normal tyre depot. If tyres are over 5yrs old its best to change them even if tread is good as they eventually perish. The wheel is caravan specific & can be bought from any large caravan showroom/shop. If your caravan needs new tyres it might be better to buy the wheel without tyre & then get a mobile service like etyres to come & fit 3, that way you will get wheels balanced, which even for caravans, they should be.

My tyres were in good condition but 5 years old.

Seemed a shame to throw them away but I didnt want to risk them any longer.
I bought a pair of new wheels and had 2 new tyres fitted.

I used to put the old wheels on during long storage periods and over the winter. But that novelty wore off.

Now the tyres i bought to replace them are due and i will refit the old wheels after having new tyres fitted to them.

Take thge current ones off and use for spares.

never a problem getting tyres for the van - local dealer will sort it out   even a garage will do it   I had a flat and had to replace it.  The Green Flag man phoned up his local dealer and bingo we were sorted within minutes.  And yes - replace after 5 years whether they look ok or not.  The tyres will never be worn out.  I do the South of France - med coast from one end to the other - every year and the tyres are never worn out.  (I might be though)
