Dealer (Ropers) was pretty good. I think he was willing to do some sort of deal about replacing it, and tried to find out what we were thinking, without playing all his cards.
Despite not wanting it repaired, they did repair it, and as it turns out it is better than new. They tidied up all the faults I found, including some of the gruesome sealant on the roof, as well as sorting out the GRP liner at the front which they obviously glued down (which is the way they should have been built in my opinion). It would appear they were well skilled at this, so we were not the first to have this problem.
The final part arrived from Baileys some 4 months late! Its not essential and don't want the van ripping apart again to fit it.
In the end we decided to keep it. We didn't want to have to pay out more to replace it, and as I said earlier, we have not found anything better.
We'll see how it goes, however I have little confidence in the van or Baileys, so we will probably get rid in a year or two. My feeling is that it will be our last caravan.

Well guys, we have had a Bailey Pageant Monarch 2002 for over 6 years and use it 4/5 times a year, it is stored in our back garden never covered, and is bone dry, everything working and never had a problem.
So SWMBO and I decided it is time for a new van, yes brand new, so we have toured dealers, been to shows and sat in more caravans than you can shake a stick at over the last 12 months or so, all very nice. But, after reading so much bad about new vans we have decided to keep the old girl and give her a re vamp, she owes us nothing so I think she deserves a few quid spent, new upholstery and flooring, external gas and mains points and a good servicing.
Why do I need the hassle of a new van when there is nothing wrong with the one we got.....Proper job.
