Bailey Jake the panels in question was the same for most manufactures, they are made elsewhere and not by Bailey. As Bailey are the largest independent producer in the uk their name is on more than others so obviously the faulty percentages would be higher. This is not my view but are the words of a leading caravan repairer I was speaking to on this subject. I do understand though how disappointing this is for anyone who has suffered and of course they should be made better in the first instance.

Agreed caravans are expensive simple objects ,a car has thousands of moving parts yet you can buy one for less than a new caravan . A caravan is a posh shed on a trailer it is not rocket science to make them to a reasonable standard .

A mate bought an Elddis Avante without a warranty - from a dealer. Hes already had to fork out for the well-known roof-light fix, damp under the bed, and bits generally falling off.

My wife & I purchased a new 2011 Elddis Avante 462,we have used it every year , for 3 months through the summer, touring. It goes for the annual service, to keep the warrantee in force, so far we have not had one single problem with it.
We are lucky as we can store it on our drive, all winter I have a small fan heater running on a time clock, which keeps the van well aired, so the problems you have had we not encountered. Perhaps we have been lucky.
