Hi Joanne

I had heard that 2003 Darts had issues with front and rear panels cracking but that this was now sorted. Any way its immaterial now as I have ordered a new Bailey Ranger 510/4 expected late feb / early March.

I am glad I finally made a decision with the help of forum members and hopefully the Ranger will prove a succesful purchase for us.

Thanks again

Mat

mat, i am so pleased that you deceided on a bailey over the avondale im sure if you had of picked the avondale you would have regreted it.

mine was a 2005 just px'd it in and there 2 cracks in the front and one in the back that i hadnt seen before. ive used it about 8 times and no longer than 10 days in one holiday mostly long weekends.

happy caravanning

Hi Mat,

Well done! You've made the right decision and should not be disappointed.

Cheers

Good choice - we have a 2007 Ranger 470/4 we have used it on 13 weekends and on a 2 week holiday and so far it has lived upto the job. We had a couple of minor issues and to save trekking the caravan back to the dealer 50 miles away we have contacted Bailey directly, on each occasion they have promptly resolved the problem.

Hi,

I have no idea what the dart is like,we bought a 510/4 Ranger and it was our first new van that was in 1999 and without a doubt it was the best van we have ever had for the price.It was totally reliable and apart from a faulty water pump.

Our first van in 1998 was a Bailey Ranger 5104 and it was also a great van.
