Hi Kate

Try www.campingstore.co.uk - cheaper and quicker than going through your dealer - and if you can make apple tarts you will have the patience to rebuild the casette! 

hi in same boat some what ours was open last week fully because of the heat and the wind sucked it up causing some damage on the concertina blind,and ours was static with legs down.did have a look at it,not complicated it seams.if its the same as ours there was four covers,two on each side,these just pulled away exposing the screws.the blind cassett appears to be placed on top of the external fitting.managed to refold the blind.without being rude when you find out the cost i would like to know how much it is to buy the concertina blind and from where.

Thankyou Michael for taking the trouble to photograph your roof light.  Much appreciated.  Apparently the Bailey's are fitted with Remi rooflights and after spending several hours trying to find a source I found this: - Leisureshop Direct Caravans - Couldn't copy and paste the website, as there was a pop up saying they were protecting their artwork!  It appears you can buy the blinds  (in different sizes) but they can be cut to fit. Also they say it is simple (but I know their simple and I know mine, believe me when I say there will be a difference) to fit.  Prices range from £13 which sounds reasonable to me.  I was quoted £76 from a dealer today for a Heki one and fitting was over and above.  I have sent them an email to ask if this blind would be suitable for a roof light.  When I receive a reply, I will post again.  If I keep adding to this, it will be in the short novel league.

BaileyBoy, Thanks, I had a look at the site you sent, but although there were roof lights, not what I was after.  Appreciate your kind response though.  xx

i must be fortunate, and although we have come close to driving away without shuting the roof vent a few times surely there could be some way that we could use to remind us when about to move off!!

had thought about something such as having a dream catcher hanging down as when moving in the van you would have to watch hitting your head!!! no point having something on the van roof as you cant see that!!!! perhaps a peg and a bit of string!, attached to the roof light so that when its open you cant see it but shut it would dangle and can be seen in the mirrors!!!   of course none of this would work if you have a roof vent in the washroom!!!   and i nearly forgot that one many times.

have now found a supplier for the( remi-top slide and tilt sunroof ) as supplied for the bailey 2003,got this information from gary arc-systems.thanks gary.the supplier is BURDENS,on the face of it looks like they only supply to dealers.
