Hi Chris,  we are a Bailey owner family and love it to bits, we went to our dealership the other day and in the showroom was the Sterling Europa 545-(I think it was that one, it has a back to front C dinette at the back but it could be a bed)WOW WOW WOW--absolutley loved it, we liked the idea of the double dinette that if we were away alone-we vould make up the back bit just after tea and leave it as a bed, but you could also leave it as a seating area for reading/crosswording/newspaper readding etc even playing games with the kids.  We absolutley loved it and would not hessitate changing our van for this but their is a weight issue where we are concerned-it is near our max, beautiful van, loved the rear washroom too- welikie our Bailey for that, hubby says if our numbers come up on the Lottery we will definatley be changing for one of these and changing the car..  Good Luck in your decision-it is hard but prioratise things.  IS it just for you and the mrs? we looked at the new Unicorns-crap! sorry to be blunt, these are for couples of an elder age, no kiddies, and who camp on hardstanding    and electric.  not for us who are C&CC members and THS camp in fields.  Just my opinion I know but when they decide to plan caravans get real people who DO use them for ideas.  cheers gary

Hi

If you are interested in the Europa 545, be sure to check out the dealer special versions of this van, as well as the Charisma (same layout, different colour scheme).

The dealer special versions will give you a number of extras which do represent good value.  We bought a dealer special of the Europa 550 and I wouldn't want to be without all the additional features.  If the budget and weight limits allow - I would definitely recommend a dealer special.  There will be plenty of these variants at the NEC show.

I have a 2010 bailey Gt60 & LOVE it

We thought long & hard about parting with our hard earned cash and the GT60 ticked all our boxes. The sterling was a contender also but was a little over our budget & would have meant borrowing a small amount of cash to get this but to be honest once we were at the show the bailey was the only one on our list we went back to look at twice & did the deal there & then. Me personally, i love the olympus & could have plumped for this but my OH wouldn't entertain it until its been out on the market for about a year, then all the teething problems are ironed out.

I'm sure there are faults on all makes of caravan but you hear about certain brands more than others, maybe this is because there are more caravans sold by certain manufacturers than others ??

I think you need to have a walk around some & i think you'll know which van is for you as soon as you walk in.
