We are now the proud owners of a Bailey Ranger 550/6. We went to see it tonight and have brought it back home with us, it is now taking pride of place on our drive. Can't wait to try it out.
No name yet, we can't decide on one (I suggested Bill (Bill Bailey Built a Boat!), but Trevor says thats too obvious, so we are thinking on it. How about the Bate Mobile? Will let you know later when he/she has got a name
It's really clean inside, but it is going to be cleaned & anti baced today, then I can unload our hall full of stuff into it, as I am fed up tripping over it all. It looks like we are just about to go on holiday in our hall at the moment from where we unloaded the camper.
Good for you - we had one of them until last year - had it 5 years and never had a single thing go wrong with it. Be careful of noseweight is my only comment though - they're heavy at the front empty (70kg). A spare wheel can't realistically be carried in the front locker - nor a huge gas bottle - unless you tow with a Discovery etc.
Well done jane! we still have scabby lol, I've had phonecalls this wk about her even though i advertised ages ago! None have come out to have a look once i've explained her condition.....looks like i'm stick with her as i'm not letting her go for any less than £1500. I will have lost £300 at that price. Its a shame she's not a 6 berth cuz i wouldnt have minded doing her up. Ah well at least i have a caravan eh!
Ohhhh, jane thats fantastic news & you found one so quick. You'll have to post some pics. Hope its wasn't too far from you. What year is it? Did you take a look at the ones i suggested?
... just a thought, how did you find it? (ebay, ads on here, etc)
We found it on Ebay, it was just over an hour from home so not too far to go. It is a 2003, and is very clean. We needed to stick to one axle as a twin axle would have been to heavy for the car.
(Not sure how to add a photo to my message though)
Dont forget your mates when we push our noses on your window ( like the Christmas Carol ) When your eating your roast......all snug and warm
Oh Suzanne, as I said yesterday, you are more than welcome to come inside, you don't have to push your noses up against the windows (you may smear them !)
Give me a ring when you want to come round for a guided tour of our new mansion on wheels.
