Very Very interested to read all this - we bought a Bailey Olympus 525 2010 in 2011 from an independent dealer, successfully transferred the warranty and took it for it's 2nd service (1st having been done with previous owner) with the only registered Bailey dealer were we live. They told us we had water ingress caused by caravan not being sealed right at factory. They removed and resealed the bumpers and skirts in 1/2013. On next 2 services, damp still showing but going down. Instructed to bring it back for a summer check as checks were usually done in winter in line with service. Took it back last summer after winter service - still damp showing. Advised by engineer to go home pull back vinyl and put blow heater in to help drying out process. Alarm bells started to ring!! Had to cut and pull vinyl back - floor at back of caravan black at both corners and spongy. Done what we were told to do, but floor too damaged, so caravan had to go back to have new section put in at back. Out in van this summer - ball rolled in under front of van - looked up, floor appeared to be spongy at corner. Took front locker trays out to discover more black spongy floor at front corners. Also new floor starting to show signs of black damp again. We seem to be a football, being bounced from the independent dealer who we bought the caravan from, to the Bailey registered dealer who is the only one in our area, and Bailey. We have a caravan that we cannot sell on because of the reoccurring damp problem. We are at present being advised by Trading Standards on a course of action with regards to this. Seems like it is the dealer who needs to sort it - not Bailey, or the Registered Bailey Dealer, who has already done repairs. We are reluctant to have anymore repairs done, as the first repairs have not worked (and we did not get any type of guarantee for the repair work carried out) - we just want rid of it now. We are not prepared to play the waiting game on this anymore - 4 years of hell has been quite long enough!! Our lovely dream of retirement and a little caravan to boob around in has turned into a nightmare...lots of sleepless nights and stress:(
