    motorway parking

    The caravan parking area was open the first bank holiday in May, as we had arrange to meet friends there on the way down to Wales. But there was some travelling people parked up, looking as though they had set up a camp from the amount of rubbish round the area. There was even a bloke stripped...

    Shower Heads

    I have been after the same thing for a Bailey Pageant, so if you find one first let me know. We used to have a Sprite which had one, in hindsight I should of swapped it, but will have make do with this one for now and keep on searching. Good luck

    stagnent water

    We always use Milton at the start of every season. Leave it to stand by blocking up your outlet pipes for a couple of hoours and then flush through with clean water. Even though I do this, I always have a couple of empty milk bottles (plastic) and fill them up when i fill the aquarolls and use...

    E and L insurance

    Dont like bad mouthing companies too much, particularly as I have never used E & L myself. But I remember a thread on another forum about 12 months ago about the same company and refusing to pay out when sombodys van that was broken into and various items had been stolen, such as cushions. It...

    Flooring

    Has anyone had their caravan floor laminated?? If so what are the downsides or problems and how much did it cost. We do a lot of off-roading in our LandRover and so tend to be parked on muddy fields so I am looking at this option to stop my caravan (2000 Bailey Pageant Bordeux) looking dirty...

    Discovery

    I to have a Disco, but mine is a series 1. Found it great for towing, never had any faults as yet and find it quite economical. We also have a Mitsubishi L200 Animal and have used both for towing. Although the Disco is good, the Animal beats it on stability, but only just. The Animal is a 54...

    Delamination

    I would suggest you contact your local trading standards and ask for their advice. From what I can recall when we had problems with a new car, we gave them the opportunity to repair the fault, and in doing that we gave up the right to return the car under the sale of goods act. Had we returned...

    Powering Van on Drive

    We bought a Bailey van in April this year, which came with a Status ariel. When turning it on we find that it gives no better (in fact I was say slightly worse) picture than when the tv is on its own ariel. Other then the obvious answer that it is broke, has anyone got any hints or tips that...

    Closing curtains in winter

    Have taken notice of Eddie`s posting, and will not be leaving our blinds down in future. To eliminate any fading whilst stood up over the winter months, you could either remove all the soft furnishings and store them at home, or if that is not practical, buy yourself a couple of cheap throws...

    Fixed bed/Make up bed ?

    We wouldn`t go back to anything other than a fixed bed, having purchased a Bailey Pageant Bordeux earlier this year. Of course it is always personal choice, and there are sacrifices to be had with having a fixed bed, but there is nothing better than coming in from a night out and not having to...
