I guess the unknown is if Swift's "SMART" build is any better at keeping the water out.
I've read on several threads that Elddis are bad at post-sale service, but that they may be more consistent in their initial build. Whereas Bailey are more likely to put it right and quicker in doing so.
The warranty is a big draw for us buying a new van, for this very reason!
If it really is luck-of-the-draw, perhaps we'll have to buy what we want and brace ourselves for the possibility of warranty-work!
Hi
Buy what you like the look of and be prepared for some faults on it. Weve got a few friends who have bought Baileys and had nothing at all go wrong with them! The vans are really nice and the alutech is warmer than the conventional construction because our Elddis had the ALde heating in and it wasn't as warm as the Unicorn. We also paid a fortune for the Elddis and tbh it wasn't a patch on the Baileys weve had! They argued everything that was needed on first service warranty and it really put me off them. Some say Bailey mass produce and get it wrong first time but they put it right and to me that's what counts.
After our last Unicorn I said id never have another Bailey!! Never say never! we went back to them because we hadn't realised how good their after service was un til we had dealt with Explorer group!!
Hope you get a good one whatever you buy and don't end up with a Friday afternoon van like we did!!
