We have 'those catches' on the Pageant 7 and they have been absolutely no problem.  I bet they will be east to replace when and if they do need replacing.

You can't have a moan about bailey pegasus caravan owners because they know they made a boo boo buying one the senator was far better

Why make statements like, they help no one!  I chose a pegasus over the senator, because  I like the pegasus better end of story. 

Another happy Pegasus owner here.

Towed about 800 miles now and no stone chips or dents.

Love the space, approve of the clean unfussy design.

Fantastically well equiped van for the money.

Zinnia - Sorry to me the Pegasus is a better van than the Senator, I think you were trying to say the Senator was better, but without any punctuation I am not sure.

We have a new Pegasus 646 and it's fab.

The only minor issues were 1) a small section of hot air ventilation pipe was missing from the rear lounge - easily sorted, and 2) a tiny amouint of mastic was fouling the awning channel - sorted with a pair of scissors in 5 seconds..

It's a fantastic caravan - I'd definitely recommend it.   Don't be put off by these stories of things broken in demo vans at dealers - I think they are more of a reflection of how dealers look after their demo models rather than the quality of the caravan.  If you have hundreds of people wandering about them, stuff will get broken eventually, whatever the manufacturer.

I have just booked ours in for some minor rectification.

New 13 pin plug to be fitted(problem with outer ring rotating a little).

Thicker plastic sheeting to be fitted on the front panel.To protect against dents (there are a couple).

Adjustment to thermocouple on hob(one burner does not always stay lit).

All will be done when the plastic sheet arrives.

I do not consider theses major and we are very pleased with the van. We always get good service from Salop at Cosford.

I've not owned a pegasus but i had a good look round one plus i've read a lot of post's on here about them,but i owned a senator and thats why i said the senator was better sorry for any grammer mistakes

Pegasus and Bailey moaners will soon have a new Bailey Alu-Tech model to moan about come September/Octobe;, and it's not a replacement for the Ranger series it seems it's placed above the old Senator range so I am told.

Didn't realise they were adding another alu-tech to the range.  We know the Senator has gone, but Bailey have not said they are axeing the Pageant or Ranger.... yet! 

Yes, I know about the damp, and all that, but there is a warmth about wood that somehow seems less clinical than plastic.  I hope they don't axe the classic constuction completely - there will still be a market.  In Polesworth we have just had an 'old fashioned' sweet shop open.  The sort with sweets in jars, they then put in paper bags etc.  It's full every day after school - the kids (and adults) love it.  Anyone had chips at the Black Country museum cooked in the traditional way (with lard) - mmmmm!

I still am not convinced that new is always best?  Screws into plastic! - I wouldn't mind betting that they'll work loose quicker than screws into wood.  ....and if Bailey are so keen on plastic, why are the floors still wooden? (I assume they are - I have never heard anyone claim that they are anything else).  So am I right in thinking that de-lamination is not yet a thing of the past?

Bailey may have made strides into keeping out the damp - people thought that the vans would last so much longer because of this.  But have no fear, we'll still be replacing those vans.  They seem to have created an alternative - a van that will drop to bits before the damp gets in.

Sorry, if I've got one on me this morning!

Best wishes
