EVERYBODY knows that if you don't have a new caravan or car serviced at an approved dealer then the warranty is automatically invalidated. It's not in the small print, it's usually writ loud and clear. We may not like being dictated to in this way but, like paying tax, there's no way out.
Having said that, the apparent poor quality issue here is worrying to us Bailey owners. I am about to write to Bailey to get their re-assurance that a different design fault will still be covered by them when my warranty runs out this November. This relates to the loose single bolt that connects the floor to the axle cross-member that could not be tightened into the floor. Not an unknown fault to my dealer and they effected a repair (using a bonding substance) as guided by Bailey. I see no reason why the manufacturer should not continue to be liable for a serious design fault such as this.
I don't hold out much hope judging by what's been said here. In fact the handbook states it never enters into correspondence with owners, it should always be through a dealer. But what is a dealer supposed to do when the warranty is out?
