has anyone had discolouration, where awning suckers have been, we put a  brand new awning up, it was up for 9 days,when we have taken it down, we have 3 yellow marks where the suckers have been, and it will not polish out

Oh no ,not something else,  I really feel for you it just seems to have been one thing after another. All caravans have their faults I know but you have had more than your fair share. To be honest you have put us off baileys for life!!

Hope you get everything sorted.

....and interestingly, in another post showing the new Stealth 'van, great store is placed concerning the GRP nose cone to protect the 'van. Been reading this methinks??

it doesnt alter anything.....bailey wont repair stone dents under warranty , the thicker film wont hide existing dents and looking at new vans with it fitted on dealers forecourt, still dented regardless. get a front cover £60 ,makes your van even uglier but stops the dents or fit ground hugging megamudflaps to your towcar is the only way forward so it seems.

or buy a swift

Are you saying the dealer was selling new vans with dents in the front panel?

im saying 2 olympus vans on his forecourt had a stone type ding right where the protective film was to the nearside of the gas locker.

maybe just demo models that will be sold later on at a reduced price but proves to me the thicker film means diddly squat in reality.

Hi, we used black suckers earlier in the year on our van and these left black marks where they had been, used Fenwicks black streak remover and it did not touch them.  As we have polyester side walls did not want to t-cut the paint but found an old tub of Silky in the garage.  Used this and marks dissapeared like magic without too much rubbing/elbow grease etc.  Just use lots of water to rinse.  Maybe worth a try.
