Hi Gary, we were also lucky enough to pick up a new Bailey Pageant Bretagne earlier this year - our first caravan. We also purchased a cover from Protec. The thinking behind the cover was that leaving anything outside for long periods tends to have a detremental effect on them. I had noticed...

Hi Simon, I also own a 2.2 dci Espace so your post is very useful. I looked into the Diesel tuning stuff a while back before we used the vehicle for towing our new Bailey but didn't take the plunge.

Hi Daz, can't help much with feedback but we had the same dilemmma last Autumn. We ended up ordering a Bretagne and took delivery of it last weekend. We have three children (10,8 & 5) and it is also our first experience of caravanning. Having spent last weekend "fiddling" with it, we are still...

Thanks for all your replies. I always knew it would be a difficult one to answer and I guess it comes down to experience and personal preference. Thanks again Simon

We are new to caravanning - having spent the last couple of years mostly weekend camping we started looking longingly at the caravans in the evening from our tent. We have a bit of a dilemma though. We have three children - A ten year old daughter and two sons of eight and seven. We have...
