Hi,

I have the opportunity to Purchase a Bailey Oakmere 2 Birth Caravan (1997) I would say it is in a good condition, but does need a good clean. It was purchased by the owners from New.

Can anyone suggest a reasonable price ? I have never considered a caravan before, being a Tent Person, but it may be worth considering if the price is right, Alas I have no idea what the right price would be.

I have Googled and looked on Ebay to no avail. This is a private purchase from a friend, and as such I would expect that it would be cheaper than from a commercial trader.

Many thanks

Best Regards
Nathan

Thanks, I think I have come across that site, but they do not have any oakmere Listed, I am not even sure what is Similar to it. What Class of Caravan it is, eg Tesco Value, standard or Tesco Finest (if you know what I mean)

I no absolutely nothing about caravans.

Cheers
Nathan

Hi I am led to believe that the meres are swifts. Harrington's special caravans not Baileys. I could be wrong.

If you go one ebay and put in 'Bailey 2 berth' you will might see one that looks most like yours to compare. The value will depend on size/layout too. Some 2 berths have end washrooms and some end kitchens etc. We paid £3400 for a 2003 2 berth (Abbey) if that helps. As for class of caravan, it will depend on the level of trim. Bailey produce caravans across the range.

Are you sure you've read the instructions?

No, definitely Bailey not Swift.

I used to have an Oakmere. It was the Harrington's special edition of the Bailey Beachcomber 350/2.

Lovely little van.

I would say about £1500 to £2K depending on condition.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
