Looking to change, as it seems my van is heading for my daughters possession. Looking at the Bailey Pegasus or Swift Challenger sport. Any owners out there with input for me? Read quite a bit about water ingress in lockers on the Baileys.

We have had several Swift caravans and been satisfied with them. My last van i tried a Bailey but have now gone back to Swift.I have a sport dealer special and well pleased with it, and although slightly heavier than the Bailey was,
it tows better and due to the more aero-dynamic shape i get more MPG,than with the Bailey.

Cheers birdman, I am leaning towards the Swift, but other half likes the Pegasus mainly because of the amount of light let in by the front window. The smart build is is a good point as well.
