Have you got all night to read my reply?? Dont think theres such a thing as a Friday van with Bailey! If ther were a car manfuacturer they would have gone bust by now!!
Had 4 sets of blinds replaced as theyv all gained holes in letting daylight through.
Front window leaking on first outing, van is over a year old and its still not been fixed, water leaks in during rain!
Every single door handle been reaplced as they all collapsed inside.
3rd microwave as theyve all packed in!
Bathroom door wouldnt close on first outing, had it sorted and now the handle keeps falling off as the screws are all striped inside.
Pullout table at the front doesnt slide out and sticks when out
Bed slats keep falling off! (I know what your all thinking??)
Bathroom freezing cold and heated rail doesnt seem to have any affect on warming it up.
Heiki roof blind and kitchen vent roofblind also been replaced due to holes appearing after a very short while.
Faulty battery door had a new one replaced.
Apart from that everythings hunky dorey actually losing the will to caravan as every time we go out in it something else goes wrong and its really annoying us to the point where we are thinking of selling it and giving it all up. Its our 3rd Bailey and probably our last! Had alot of problems with series 6 van but series 5 was fine. Weve changed our towcar now so we will have more options when we come to change. I think there are all the same from what iv read on the forums. Things I love about the van:-
Alde heating - its fab couldnt go back to blown air its not a patch!
Interior is really nice and lots of kitchen space.
Tall fridge freezer, came in very handy in France, freezer fantastic.
I think whatever new van you buy you have to expect problems with it, espeically when you start towing it alot, please bear in mind we use our van alot more than the average user, we are out every other weekend and use it all year for Winter caravanning, new year etc, we dont put it away for Winter. We bought the Bailey coz of the warranty and they are very good and replacing things, its just a pain keep taking it to the dealers, espeically now Discovers gone coz thats where we bought it from.
We will be going to the show in Jan to have a look around.
