In part i agree with Kabbes BUT, the Pegasus Does not have wood in its construction as i understand it is alloy, foam and plastic just like a freezer trailer.(Iceland , Asda, Tesco wagons)

Ok I have been going back and forth on this and thought I had made my mind up.  I put a deposit down on a Sancerre last weekend.  For £2k more I could get a pegasus, should I do it? 

I know I have had great advice on here and really value your opinons

If your dealer has offered you the option after you've seen it in the flesh you've nothing to lose. The range will be on the stand for the model launch at the NEC in October so you'll be able to compare then.

We were lucky to get shown round one last week & it's a cracking van. Had our Provence not been new, we'd have a Pegasus. I'm happy to sit back & watch its progress though, a 12 month down the line & we'll be reading lots of reports on here about them.

Sounds like you don't have to make your mind up just yet?  So go and see it at the Dealers when you can and hopefully you will be able to compare your Sancerre with it and then decide.  Only when you can actually compare the 2 can you really decide whether its worth the £2k more or not. 

I liked the point being made on how long you will actually keep the 'van for.  We are planning to keep our 'van for the 6 years and then buy a 4 berth fixed bed.  We will be very interested in a 10 year warrenty then but not too sure if we would be able to stretch to the extra £2k.

We saw a Pegasus yesterday and have now decided to switch the sancerre order to a pegasus 534. 

I was really impressed with it and loved the interior.  We also like the shape and the little wet lockers at the side.  I liked have the internal water and being able to use both the aqua roll and the internal water.  

We saw it at chipping sodbury caravans and they were really keen on it.    He said that Bailey were pushing back the production of the conventional models if Pegasus takes off.

IMO the Pegusus will be a great success and as a result the second hand market for other Bailey vans will be hit.

Bailey will struggle to sell "old technology" vans....the interest in the Pegasus is huge.

I don't think that'll be the case Mr UM. Surely the price difference between the "old technology" vans (as you put it) & the Pegasus will be no different than the current range price differential between the Discovery & the Senator models. People who can't afford a £16,000 plus van won't worry about them but they'll still want the model they can afford or prefer. I say prefer because, we've never liked the Senator but love the Pageant. Whatever happens with Pegasus wouldn't effect the way we see Bailey vans, the layout & services of a brilliant dealer is what sells them to us.

I think the following Bailey has with it's product range will still be there. Obviously people will hope the whole line up will adopt the new construction process while at the same time enjoying their "old Technology" vans. You only have to count the number of caravans you see while driving between motorway junctions & see how many are Baileys to see how strong their customer base is. We came home down the M5 from Gloucester this afternoon & we commented on the number of Baileys compared to other makes.

A good second hand Bailey right across the price range will always find a buyer. IMO that is.

I think you have made the right choice, when I get rid of my van (wont be for a few years though) Im gonna have a pegasus I really like it!! Happy Days for you!!

Hi,

Just a little off topic here but, if Bailey build the Pageant the same same way as the Pegasus then it will be just the same but with a different badge on. Afterall, there is a distinct difference in spec from the Senator range to the Pageant and Pageant to Ranger but the Pegasus spec isnt that different if you look at the nitty gritty things. With this in mind I can easily see it replacing the senator range completely and thus being the Top spec van of the Bailey Range. At least then you could jusitify the £2k price difference.

Just a thought, thats all,

Won't other manufacturers follow suit?
