LeMans said:Thank you to everyone who has responded so far. A lot of very useful information and things to both check and consider.
The van is priced on the forecourt at £17k and the sale price is £15,100. The review on this site it states the price as £16.5k. Does this seem like a 'good' discount?
To find out if it has been registered, the only way is to check the log book?
There's no 'log book' as such, but all new caravans have CRiS registration which is a form of HPI check for caravans.LeMans said:Thank you to everyone who has responded so far. A lot of very useful information and things to both check and consider.

That’s one way. The other is ask the dealer when it’s makers warranty for equipment and damp expires. If it’s not been registered you should expect the as new warranty. Mine was manufactured November 2011. A 2012 model year. But sold in April 2013. So my warranty for damp ingress expires 20 April 2019. It only had six years damp ingress warranty. But newer model year vans started off with 10 years for first owner.

Clive ,
The Bailey water ingress Warranty says:-
Bailey Alu-Tech caravans are covered by a six (6) year Bodyshell Integrity Warranty from the initial date of purchase.
Plus for a fee the Warranty can be extended to 10 years.
My take on this is the Warranty runs from the date of purchase . Probably the first purchase paying heed to Parksy’s earlier. So if this is a reject the start date will be interesting.
That said we all know the Dealer carries the can.
Could be a great bargain as long as all the double checks are done.

So what was included in your good deal then ; I hope you say a motor mover because they are a heavy van to push and pull about and manoeuvre by hand !
Yous'll not be disappointed with your chosen van .
P.s , what happened to the Bailey Pursuit then !?!![]()

LeMans said:Included in the deal / final price were the manufactures Diamond Pack and Panoramic Sun Roof, AGM Leisure Battery, Powrtouch Evolution manual engagement motor mover, AL-KO ATC trailer control, SwiftShield upholstery scheme and 100 Watt Solar Panel. All of this for pretty much the list price.
We looked at a 2018 model but the dealer couldn't get close to the 2019 price.
For us, the main issue with the Bailey was from reading the PC comprehensive review that the Front Single Bed O/S is only 1.55m long which did not suit our requirements.
The deal on the new van was just too tempting...
