So very nearly bought one myself. Dealer wouldn't drop the price he was offering. Excellent van liked the double dinette layout with the benefit you could make it a permanent fixed bed if you wanted. Toilet is slightly bigger than my peg 534, OH loved the interior colour. I sure you will love it..

When we ordered ours last year we were told delivery would be 7 weeks - they were the LONGEST 7 weeks of our lives. Seemed to drag on for ever.

It will come to an end though and the day will come when you go to collect your new pride and joy.

ps - Is Pegasus ownership the lemming approach to caravanning??

Probs because Bailey are tooled up for alu-tech bodies and will have to re-tool for traditional bodies again. Still once the novely wears off normal service will no doubt be resumed.

Its part of the Bailey environmental green agenda is the alu-tech. Now that caravan bodies can last 10 years and not leak. it means that people will keep them 10 years so less materials, less energy used so its environmentally friendly.

6 months though I'd have gone mad having to wait that long poor you!

I have gone mad believe me!! You're right in what your saying, bailey told me the factory has been building the new alutech bodies and the factory is due to be changed back for classic builds at week 13 (20something of march) which is our build date.
Lorraine I daren't tempt fate and book anything just yet! We might end up just camping out on our drive yet. I don't mind though at least I'll have the flipping van eventually.

Any comments Wedgy? Jammy ****** ....ENJOY

See someone posted a comment about the Pegasus being environmentally friendly. Is that because it takes so long to get one you reduce your carbon footprint by not going anywhere?
