We've had ours for 8 months and we love it. It is the best layout we've had in any van.
It is light to tow and sits very steadily on the road, even at speed. Towing is an absolute dream and provides the closest reality of the much (ab)used saying, "I hardly know the van is there".
Water system is excessively noisey and the need to manually switch the flow valves under the front settee is a complete pain!! Bailey need to improve this.
Heating is good and pretty even throughout the van.
Kitchen space is great and it doesn't feel cramped when cooking or plating-up meals. Cupboard space is ample and well laid out. Full-size fridge/freezer is amazing and you spend less time going shopping becasue it can store so much food. It also maintains a very low temperature in even the hottest weather.
Lounge is spacious and extremely comfortable for two people with a logical and comfortable place for positioning the TV. There's nowhere to place your drinks/nibbles though, so we use a small ocassional table - it's not a problem.
Bed is the best bit about the van with a wide, long and firm mattress - superbly comfortable. You can get up or stay in bed without disturbing your bed-partner. Importantly, Siestas are perfect because the person sleeping doesn't get disturbed by the other person needing to use the loo!! You can hide back in the bedroom in total peace... Perfect!!!
Shower cubicle is very roomy with lots of elbow room and the water flow is impressive. It has a high head-room so there is no problem for tall people showering. There is limited standing space in the bathroomn to really get dried but it is just about manageable.
Lavatory itself is squeezed into a small and tight corner of the bathroom. It is completely illogical and horribly cramped. Whilst it is fine for peeing (men or women), you need to be a contortionist to attend to your backside!!! (sorry folks but that's the simple truth).
In summary, it is a great van that is well built and nicely finished. Layout is fantastic and despite the shortcommings of the loo we have no intention of changing it becasue there's nothing on the market that ticks so many of the right boxes.
