Hi all,

We've just took the plunge and ordered a Bailey Olympus 546 from Lady Bailey down in Dorset (cracking deal).

So, any thoughts on either the dealer or the van would be appreciated, I'm aware of slight problems regarding warranty work from other dealers though I did look into Bailey's 'transient' warranty before I signed up,

Regards,

Paul.

I have used Bailey's transient warranty in the past and have had no issues.

We have just ordered our new Bailey from a dealer 200 miles away so I am happy to do as you have done!! We got a cracking deal too on a Pegasus 524!!

We have used Lady Bailey and have found them absolutely fine.  Had the Sancerre from them last summer.  Picked up the van on the way to holiday in Cornwall.  Popped in on the way back for them to replace a faulty light fitting.  Didn't have to wait - they did it there and then.  Good service.

They must be expecting to sell a load of the Pegasus/ Olympus vans i pass their storage yard each day and it's full of them.

We bought our 'van from Lady Bailey. No problems at all and they didn't make me feel stupid when I phoned on our first trip away when we couldn't work out how to get the Alko hitch off the car despite reading the manual.

Hi 664DaveS,

Would love to know what you think of the Bailey Olympus 534.  I am thinking of buying one in a few months myself to put on a caravan park in Shropshire (where we currently keep our Swift Challenger).

Let me know how you got on at Easter and if there is anything you don't like about it (apart from the ridiculous servicing costs which a lot of people won't be able to afford).

Karen
