Hi I am thinking of moving to France and would like to take my Bailey with me,the question is the gas system,would it be ok just to buy new valves so that I could biy gas in France?

I use Primagaz Twiny propane cylinders with the appropriate regulator, all of which is available from DIY outlets and most petrol stations.

If your Bailey is fairly recent with a bulkhead fitted regulator, then you just need to buy the appropriate "pigtail" to match the cylinder that you buy.

A much more difficult problem is to get the caravan registered in France (they have their own registration number and test).

You will need to obtain a "certificate of conformity" from Bailey but be aware that some French departments do not accept the door on the "wrong" side.

You would probably have less of a headache by selling the Bailey in the UK and buying a French registered caravan when you move.

If you are going to tow the caravan on Brit.plates you will be OK until such time as you have to re-register your car or acquire a French registered one.

You could put your Bailey on a site permanently and use it without towing OK.
