Went to the Malvern show on Saturday and looked at the launch of these.  We were really disapointed as they have withdrawn the Vendee "due to customer views".  We really love our Vendee.  The one thing we noted that out of all of the new range only the Provence has a rear window.  Looking at the other ranges it now seems quite the norm to not have a rear window.  We like a rear window that OH can see through whilst towing and also for the increased natural light in the van.  Other than that apart from the upholstery and now they have stainless sinks there isn't that much difference.

I seem to remember that Bailey were not going to revamp any of their series for 5 years when they had done the new relaunches.  Seems strange that they now do this after just two.

Interesting feedback, I have been wondering what the new ones are like and I will be going to look once our dealer has them in.

Hi Nikki

I didnt look at that one.  So I cant comment.  When I tackled the Salesman about the rear windows, he just told me to write in.  Have a look on the website and see.  I have just tried to look but my computer went really slow and froze.

Hi Karen

We have had a lot of problems with it the shower is coming away from the wall headbroad is aswell it is going back later this month for the fourth time. We can not go away for six weeks due to the repairs. but apart from that I like it but the OH does not he picked it in the first place. it is only 6 months old.

We rather like the Burgundy, planning to have a good look at them at the NEC, just hope the dealers are in a generous part ex mood.

Hi Margaret

We have had a few problems.  The waste water was seeping out under the cooker from the sink , the joint had come away from the pipe.  (design fault).    We had a new roof blind as it keeps getting badly creased as its like cardboardy stuff. Dealers changed the battery charger.  Even so we love the van and its layout.  Its just that when we want to change it there seems to be a trend as to not having a rear window if you have a fixed bed layout and OH does like to see through when he is towing.  We have had ours now for 18 months.

Hi Jim

We picked up our Burgundy last july and just love it, a nice roomy comfy caravan, we have slept 4 adults & 2 kids in it and had no probs to date.

 We use a 1.9 L Renult Trafic van and it tows very well

Cheers
