We appear to be filling you with dread I'm sure, but it might sail through your approval, lets hope so and I think the dealers are pretty good in that they won't hesitate to put right any wrongs.

 They should check the water and gas in the pdi.

In truth the vans shouldn't leave the factory like they do but then thats how it is with most things now isn't it?

The only problem with mine when i picked it up was with the aerial socket in the living area. After investigation by myself i found it was not connected vehind the socket (Easy to fix!).

We think it is a great caravan with a great layout and we are really pleased with it.

Whoops. Forgot to say as Niall has said the bedguard is a bit poor and rough around the inside edges.

Hi there, you don't say what you are towing with but have you made sure all your weights are ok and that your towball is the correct one etc?

Have fun, very envious the GT60s look lovely.

Hi

We picked up our GT60 540/6 in January this year it been a cracking van and we have been away in it at least twice a month since collecting it and we have no problems at all.(touch wood)...taking it to France later this month so I hope it continues to serve us well, when we picked our up the dealer spent at least an hour with us talking us through everything and was only too happy to take time to answer our questions...good luck hope you enjoy your new van

Well the replieds keep coming, cant thank averyone enough..Feelin a little less nervous now..

Hi Mr Me

We got ours in February, what a long wait from when we ordered it in October !!

Great van, the kids love it, as do we.  The only niggle that we've had so far is that our shower curtain is too short, and the water came out under the door, not happy to say the least.  we'll get a longer curtain, job done.  Were off to France in august, and I can't wait, just have to get in some more weekends away before then !!

Seriously, hope u love the caravan as much as we do.  Our second Bailey, and we're very happy

hi

 i picked up my new van last week and stayed in it for 3 days. on leaving the dealership i found i  had no number plate, also my new pump wont fit the aqua roll which i did not find  out until  on site. little things but annoying, and check the water pump shuts off after turning the tap off

I am surprised you didn't get a number plate they should throw that in free though you do have to show your documents to prove ownership of vehicle.

Ok i have now got my van and thoroughly gone over all that people have mentioned and all seems fine, i will be on my first outing this weekend with it, quick  couple of questions regarding my new van though, do i need to use anything on the awning rail with it being new, and also the van has an alko hydraulic jockey wheel do these need to be pumped up or not as it seems a little flat, and any tips on what look out for with a hydraulic jockey wheel. Sorry about all the questions ?

Thanks

Has anyone with the 540/6 managed to use the rear TV aerial socket,put a 15" lcd in and guess what the rear socket dont work..Do these clowns at bailey actually check anything before it goes out for sale,looks like another trip back to the dealers all in my time of coarse and not baileys..Not a happy with Bailey at the moment seem to be finding niggly little bits and its really getting on my nerves,anyway appart from that having a really good week end at the plessey in Wrexham..
