I have a series 5 bailey ranger it's crap. 3 months after I bought it last year the dried out ( by dodgy dealers dehumidifier) damp had returned around rear end and down both sides. Dealer replaced soggy wall board and 're sealed' awning rails and connection between rear moulding and roof. Looked to me like he smeared sealant over the old joints. Fast forward 8 months and I am holidaying in a damp caravan. You may say it's the dealers fault or it should be expected on a 7 year old van but the design of the connection between the roof and the sides and the front and rear, is from an engineers perspective is quite honestly pathetic. You would think with the experience bailey have they could have designed better. Like other manufacturers have done. Meanwhile I have had to take a trip to jewsons and but some sealant and get up on the roof today to prevent my sons bedding getting wet.

My neighbours have a brand new bailey Olympus and they have had to return it for water Ingres repairs.

We had a Senator California and absolutely loved it, really comfortable van loved the fixed bed and the wall mount option for the TV was a fantastic idea. We have since changed it for a Valencia series 1 and again no trouble same layout as California.
Serviced every year no damp at all, keeping fingers crossed that’s why we haven’t upgraded yet to either series 2 or 3.
Do Adria produce and sell as many vans as Bailey?
Could that be why they don’t have as many issues? Good and bad with everything as previously stated.

Just my opinion always an interesting topic and great for getting people debating or moaning!!!
