We have just ordered our new Caravan, a Pegasus 524 ordered from Chipping Sodbury Caravans.  Even though we live in Kent, it is worth the travel.

Looking forward to not having to make beds!!!

We have got to wait until May so we still have two trips in our current van before then!!

I'm sure you will be happy with it.  We find ours warm, even when -8 outside, light and airy, no chintz thank goodness,  and well finished, certainly as good as the alternatives we looked ( with the exception of a very nice Bucaneer - which was excessively heavy and unbelievably expensive).  Using the internal, but removeable, water tank and the aquaroll mean one fill lasted 4 days including a couple of showers.  Oh and the wonderful front lockers -split 3 ways - were very useful for storing the wet boots/wellies in one, blocks levellers in another and still space for the two gas bottles in the middle.  I was disappointed a bit with the Avtex tv which seems to have a poor viewing angle when watching from the bed - easily cured - we'll just use our 20" Sony with separate dvd player as previously. 

I shouldn't worry Zafirai - somebody is bound to jump in now and criticise your purchase!! - who earned the cash to buy it anyway!!!

well im not going to jump in and criticise lol,im going to say wow congrats,i bet you are really excited i would be too,i love people getting new stuff its almost as good as getting new things myself,i love seeing how happy people get.And i can imaging the luxury of not having to fold up beds everyday,ahhhh i can dream for now,but how great is it just to pull the duvet up and leave it.

well done and happy vanning in style :)

Thanks for the comments. This will be our third Bailey, our first had a major warranty claim, but Bailey are hardly alone it that.

As I said on a different thread, Bailey appear to have an unfair level of 'Bailey Bashers' on this and other forums, but they suit our needs and budget. Roll on May 2020 when our van will still be under warranty rather than under water!!!

good luck with your new van but dont bet on it not being under water......

hope its lots better than our friday afternoon special

Sorry to barge in on this Bailey thread! How have you found your 4007? We take ours to France for the first time in 3 weeks time.

We love our 4007, we have had it less than a month, but we have done nearly 3000 miles in it!!

We have not had chance to tow with it yet, but big trips start next month and we will probably go out for a local trip to check everything first.

Sorry to hear about your issues, but from our previous experience Bailey are good for aftersales.  Bailey are also excellent in offering numerous dealers Transient Warranty status so repairs can be completed without having to return to the supplying dealer.

Fortunately there is a Bailey approved service and warranty centre less than one mile from where I work, so for services I drop it off on my way in and then return the van to storage after work.

Hi Zafiral,

Thanks.

Congratulations on your new van.
