Seems to be very good, .lots of caravans and some good offers. We were quite tempted! the new Bailey twin axle vans look lovely, but I have always been put off Bailey by the build quality horror stories; can anyone reassure me?

As far as I'm concerned buying anything is simply down to personal choice & what you get from the dealer depends on how you treat them to a degree. We deal with a Bailey dealer just a couple of hundred yards up the road from here & they've always given us good service & we've been happy with the caravans we've had from them. I don't think we'lll be having another van for a while, if at all but we'd go back to them if we did simply because we can walk there. I think they're all the same when warranty work is involved. You'll probalby find they have to go back to the factory for approval to carry out the work in most cases.

I've changed a variety of things over the years including caravans, cars & lorries & I don't think todays build quality of anything can be compared with that of yesteryear. The cost of everythnig has gone up in leaps and bounds but after sales service of everything in my life doesn't reflect what we pay for it.  

Manufacturers always seem to be seeking new ways of reducing build time & costs & I feel this is all done to increase their profits. IMO in many cases it certainly hasn't improved what they have to sell but that's down to the individual to decide.
