We are looking to purchase a Bailey Ranger 500/5 and our local caravan suppliers have also recommended the Swift Major 5 as an alternative, as they are available immediately, rather than waiting a couple of months for the Bailey.

Has anyone got any experiences (good or bad) of these two caravans that would help us to decide?

Thanks,
Simon.

Hi Simon

We got the Bailey 500/5. Brilliant, we looked at dozens of models and the Bailey got 99.9% of the boxes.

Hi Simon, Do you mean Sprite Major 5.  We have had ours from new nearly a year now and really love it.  Sometimes there are five of us caravanning and all adults.  Having two double beds is really lovely.  We have also recently bought a Sunncamp porch awning and we are really made up with it all.
