Yes had it on my Bailey 2005 S5 pageant too. After about three years they. had to be resealed.
Thanks for replies.
To eliminate the roof strap leaking,would the dealer check the meter readings from bottom of internal cupboards to the floor?
Then I suppose remove the plastic tray in side that locker to check just underneath where the bottom of the locker frame meets the floor?
Obviously carry out a visual check on the roof.

I would hope the dealer would check everywhere, otherwise he doesn't know where the damp is originating from, it could be creeping along the floor and up the wall of the shower. Readings on the wall will give a better insight. Fingers crossed for you. If the dealer decideds it is not the roof strap, then after his repair it would be a good idea to seal the strap with a good sealing tape.

what you see here is the damp testing problem of non timber construction. As far as I know the floor is the main testing area on Alu-tech.
Very unlucky. Just hope the dealer can sort out the problem and the parts turn up reasonably quickly. If you bought the caravan last year you should have a claim against the dealer assuming the problem was there when you bought the caravan but possibly better to let the guarantee firm sort it if they will. The legal point might be useful though if you have problems and also remember that you also could claim against any credit card company or HP provider if problems arise. In fact if there is finance on it, it is probably worthwhile advising the firms involved, but let them know that at the moment you do not need their help.
Thank you Raywood.
To be honest with regards to the water ingress,I don't know if there was a problem when we purchased it.
We had 2 holidays in it last year and found no faults whatsoever.(apart from 1 magnetic catch broke which I replaced).
I'm hoping the warranty will cover some of the cost.
Unfortunately,the Bailey dealer I purchased it from does not accept credit cards(I wonder why🤔) and we part exchanged our previous van with them with the balance by bank transfer.

Did you not have the option of just initially paying your deposit with a card? If so then if the deposit were above the Section 75 limit the credit card company should support any claim if it should come to that, which I hope it doesn't.
No otherclive.
No credit cards accepted at all😔
I may be totally wrong but maybe the reason is that they don't want to have the credit cards legal team fighting any disputes or claims.

However you are still covered by CRA 2015 as it could be regarded as an inherent fault which as there from day one, but did not manifest itself until a few months ago. My suggestion is that you contact Which Legal Services on 0117 405 4288 and speak to them about your options. They can advise on the best way to ap;proach the issue and to go about resolving the issue with the dealer.
Thank you Buckman.
Will see what the Bailey supplying dealer has to say tomorrow when I take the van to them then take it from there.

How much do Which legal services charge for advice
Good idea it’s always best to try and resolve an issue face to face. Once attitudes harden then difficulties can arise.

Normally the first session is free as they will discuss your options. If you decdie it is worth pursuing then it is about £90 for the year for as much legal advice as you require and they are excellent. We used them to reject our caravan and to also take on a finance house.
I find Which infuriating. I recently joined for a limited half price deal as I was looking to buy a new oven, American fridge and home printer. Absolutely useless. Out of date, not answering obvious questions and making ridiculous unrelated suggestions.
I just tried to find the answer to your question. You would think it would be easy to Google, ‘what is included in my subscription’. But no. I think Which Money is included but I don’t think Legal is, but I could be wrong.
I think the Money might be good for those interested. Also, I imagine that the Legal is, as Buckman says, also good. But for everyday stuff. Not for me.
Just an opinion.

Simple. When we subscribed we also got the Which magazine. You can pay upfront or monthly. We were with Which legal for a year and now just subscribe for the magazine.
Most of what we have wanted we found reviews in the Which magazine however we also looked up other reviews before making a decision.
Either way Which Legal is up to date and gives you the correct information which is what you need if pursuing CRA 2015 for whatever reason.
Yes it is as you are paying for as much legal advice as required. Cost is about £95 for the year and worth every penny!
Is the Which magazine worth having because i am into reviews before I decide on anything
Many County Libraries have a subscription to Which? magazine which can be seen in their Reference section.
Good news👍👍👍
Just returned from Bailey dealer and it isn't the roof strap.
As Dustydog suggested,its the rear N/S locker door.
He carried out a thorough damp test and nearly all readings were slightly lower than the onsite service depot.😲
He's put some water proof tape along the top and sides as they can't have it in until August as they are completely booked and can't guarantee when a new door assembly will be available.
At least we can carry on with our booked holidays now.
Luckily,I only work 3 miles from storage compound so will try to get up there to open everything up as much as possible to maybe reduce the moisture levels slightly.
He fixed the toilet flush within 5 minutes(stuck impeller),did his own test on the RCD and said its fine.
Can now happily pay the balance on our first trip away to Warcombe farm in June .🤗🤗

Great new, as I said before, I could not see how it could be the roof strap.
Relax and enjoy the summer now.

A good result and please you can carry on with your holidays and your Bailey dealer will sort your caravan out in August .
Totally reassuring to know the cause and to have a temporary repair so you can carry on with your holidays! Hopefully the locker unit will arrive in good time to get it fixed properly before next autumn/winter. Happy travels!
