so was it overloading ?They said it was sorted from 2018. Not my experience in a 2019 van. ☹
It was the roof strap not the axle so not related to loading. It is being sorted under warranty but we have had a really long wait for the part. The van was 1 year old. The tell tale signs of a problem was the river of water running down the inside wall when it rained. 😀so was it overloading ?
was it sorted under warranty ?
how old was the van when it happened
any tell tale signs to look for ?
I had read about how that Owner put his case together and admired the painstaking approach. I fear not many could do the same. My axle dropped on the offside and had to be replaced. However mine wasn’t as new as the one referenced above so I had to pay it myself as I had no idea how the previous owner had loaded the caravan. What irked me though was that at one time Alko would take axles for reconditioning but not any longer, so a brand new axle plus brake assemblies set me back a goodly amount. Then I found out about the fact that some 2018 brake assemblies were problematic. But that Alko would support the exchange. Fortunately mine hasn’t been affected as it was checked in December 2020 at its service.BTW here is a link to an issue with the axle on some Baileys. https://worldwidewalkies.blog/2018/02/10/bailey-alko-axle-problem/
