not seen one but think it would be a good idea to have white as an option for 2011 models ?

personally not a huge fan of the black lid but wife loves it as its different to all the other vans.

they could have got the baily logo on the lid to illuminate blue along with the led grabhandles though......coolio

I don't think it is the colour that is the problem with the Pegasus lockers its their pitifully small size I don't like. Where on earth do people keep things?

Small being the operative word. My noseweight is steady at 70kg the cars max is 75kg. We too keep things under the fixed bed but I prefer things like the EHU lead, Wastehog, SatTv lead, ramps / chocks, 2 x gas bottles, steak to tether the dogs to, hitch lock (when not in use) awning carpet, awning skirt, electric drill and doggie water bowls in the spacious front locker afforded by our van. Under the fixed bed live things like the chairs, sat dish & stand, Aquaroll, windbreak, cadac, coat stand, fire extinguisher (in transit) and table for outside. If I had a peggy these items would be scattered to the 4 winds in the tiddly little lockers provided. Buy a peggy take the lemming approach to caravanning!

Spread around the lockers they are WE discover easier to find with rummaging around.   Lemming.....? does that also apply to anybody that buys say a Ford car, or has bought a Plasma or Lcd TV?  I  buy what I want with my money and leave other people to spend theirs.  Incidently we went to buy a Series 7 Sancerre in 2009, but couldn't stand the dark wood.  
As individuals we are all perfectly free to do as we want , just like verone else! 

I don't think the Bailey Pegasus or Olympus will become design classics.  Instead, I think they are a passing fad - not necessarily in terms of the new construction but in terms of their appearance.

Personally, I don't like the look of them.  The slab shape and that funny front end - the Olympus looks like an animal with nose and whiskers to me!  A sort of 'bunny face'  As for the trendy LED 'fairy lights' in the handles - hmmm - not for me, I'm afraid.  I doubt if Bailey were aiming at my sector of the market though and I guess they appeal more to the younger caravanner.

As with cars that had radical looks (Fiat Multipla, Citroen Vel Satis) they were applauded by some at the time of launch as being different and exciting, but I prefer the more enduring classics myself.  Anything that never was the height of fashion tends not to become embarrasssingly  unfashionable later.

Nevertheless, I hope that those who have chosen to own them enjoy their caravans as much as I enjoy mine and I fully respect their choice of 'pride and joy'.  Each to his own!
