Hello all,

Having been a caravanner in the past (Dethleffs, Coachman and Ace)we are returning to it now the family have grown and almost left home (they keep coming back!!).

We are dithering about choosing a caravan. We intend to buy in the Spring and are going to the NEC (again) to look at the Bailey Olympus, having been impressed by the Pegasus at the last show. We are after a (4 berth) fixed bed, transverse bathroom van as we may be taking our youngest (16) for a year or two on holidays. We looked at a Swift at the weekend and, because it was parked next to the Pegasus at the dealers, went off the Pegasus. Build quality doesn't seem to match up. Any other suggestions to try and resolve our indecision would be gratefully accepted!!

Hi Martyn

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search for new caravan.

In Bailey's favour is the new Alu Tec construction which renders damp tests during servicing unnecessary and which must weigh heavily in it's favour.

I can see what you mean about the Swift product though, the interior finish is of a higher standard from what I've seen.

Hmmmm..........

Decisions Decisions!

Why not submit a post to our Buyers Guide section to see what others think?

The best thing about the NEC show is that you can compare caravans / deals directly which might help.

Practical Caravan Magazine have a stand at the show where you could have a word with the writers or Nigel the Editor who regularly use and test different caravans and will be glad to offer advice.
