Hi

 

Myself and the missus are thinking of buying a Bailey Ranger 460/4 after years touring in an old Caravelair caravan. We'll be looking for a series 5 model hopefully as we can't quite afford a new one. We very much like the idea of blown air heating as our old van, although it had a heater, it didn't circulate the air so the back of the van became very hot but the lounge up front was always rather cool.

Can anyone who wons this van tell me if there is any blown air outlets at the front of the van. I have scoured the interenet looking for pics but none show me the detail around the front lounge regarding heating outlets.

Many Thanks.

 

Shay.

When we were looking for our new van last year we looked at the 460/4 from memory i don't think the it had the front outlets , of the newer models the GT60 has the outlets .
We ended up with the Pageant Bordeaux which definitely has them although we are struggling to get good heat through them at the moment,

I have a 470/4 series 5 - it has an outlet at the front and one in the bathroom.   I would imagine the 460/4 would be simialr.

We have the 460/4 and there are blown air outlets in the toilet, the bedroom area and the front near the door. The caravan gets lovely and toasty inside even when it is really cold outside. Last year we went away for New Year and it was -6 at night but we were lovely and warm!!

We have the 460\4 and as said above there are the 3 outlets; Bathroom, bedroom and by the door at the bottom of the wardrobe.

It takes a while to warm up but quite often we have to turn it down. The fan is very quiet too. Even at -9 in the lakes we never used the gas fire.

The 460/4 is the ideal layout for heating. All the ducts are fairly short and routed internally in the van. We have the 520/4 Ranger GT60 and that has an outlet at the front of the van but the duct to it has to route down through the floor to get past the door. I'm sure this loses heat.

The 460/4 is also quite small so there is less heat loss than the bigger vans.

Another 460/4 owner here.

It's a lovely warm van, heating very good, we had friends stay over at ours and slept in the van at -7C and was warm as toast!

 

Enjoy!
