1. When removing the awning skirt, remove it slowly. Removing the awning skirt quickly will invalidate your warranty. (its true, I checked this am)

2. The corner trim has a special locking design, to prevent an awning bead passing through. If this fails, the excess silicon in the next connector piece will lock the bead, and prevent any movement of the awning.

2. The "coving" around the van ceiling does not meet the walls: there is a gap. This is not a fault: they all look like this. your dealer should inform you that your new 'van will look like this. Bailey make it this way on purpose, they believe it fits.

3. The water in the grab handles is not a fault. It says so in the manual. Strangely it doesn't mention the green algae in there too.

4. A standard 50mm tow ball is acceptable: it says so in the manual. This only reslults in the Alko head splitting open:

5. Please remember you only have 3-4 weeks under law to reject your caravan. Take it somewhere warm and dry to inspect it when you have collected it. Preferably to another manufacturers dealer.

I'm still glad I didn't buy a timber frame 'van. I just wish Baileys had finished this one, before they put it on Sale.

"Thats why we are waiting a year or two before we decide to change ours for one."!

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

"I'm still glad I didn't buy a timber frame 'van. I just wish Baileys had finished this one, before they put it on Sale."

Apparently, according to one poster on another thread, if you had been willing to pay an extra 10% they would have finished it for you!!!

We decided from day one that we wouldn't be buying one, we've never liked the Senator range & the Pegasus is only a new Senator.

We were waiting to see the Olympus because we think it's launched to replace the lovely Pageant range & includes the same layout as we have in our Provence. We were very upset to see it's gone back to the narrow spec again & the one we went in up at the NEC felt very closed in & not for us.

I'm sorry for all the owners who find themselves with vans not up to their expectations & I hope bailey get it sorted otherwise we'll need to look elsewhere for our next one & that'll be a shame for us because we've a superb Bailey dealer 5 minutes walk away but, it doesn't matter how good they are, they can only sell what's made.

Oh I know why water fills up in the grab handles, it's a new nature feature it's a built in birdbath :) and the algy is for any fish you may want to add to said feature for that water garden look

You Muppets Bought Them !

Hopefully The Muppets at the Factory will read this

And Start to build them Properly !

Twenty years down the road i think you will have vans without any sign of damp rotting wood.  I don't suppose its much consolation now though.

al, one day you will find the courage to speak your mind on here

didnt bailey once use the slogan "one day every caravan will be built like a Bailey".. aye and the british caravan industry will die

If Big Al spoke his mind, it would be a blank post.

Glad to see the medication is kicking in.
