they are largely sorted now i believe. several owners of early pegasus models had serious issues such as manufacturing damage botched up with filler and paint , poorly vented gas flues on the fridge and many many less serious (but damn annoying)  trim issues.

i know of one olympus owner who rejected his van due to 50+ faults , again, an early example.

the stone chip problem is much less severe  due to the protection fitted below window level , although ive seen vans with dents at the side of the front windows where theres no protection.

Viggo is correct with the servicing schedule / price , expensive for the first 3 years but once youve seen that through same as any other van and safe in the knowledge youve got 7 years left where the van will be sorted should it leak.....worth the extra for peace of mind i reckon if you plan on keeping your van long term.

Noseweight issues are not just restricted to Bailey models.

If you car has less than 100kg noseweight limit, it may be recommended to avoid the optional chest (agreed this is not possible in the Unicorn range).

We have an optional chest in our Pegasus 524 yet are still able to keep our noseweight under 100kg.  Re gas, we have one large & one small BP light gas bottle.

Mister G, was the 100kg noseweight with the battery in place (as the box is rear of the axle, a 110Ah battery should lower the noseweight a little)?

With the number of Alutech vans on the road, they can't have stopped production (apart from their seasonal shutdown) for that long!!!!  Sounds a bit fishy to me.

They may have had a slight pause as they swapped their whole production to Alutech from mix of conventional & Alutech.  My feeling it is sour grapes from the other dealer.
