Radio fitting

[NigelHewer]

I have just bought a Bailey Pageant without a radio. I have already cut the front locker panels to accomadate my speakers but reluctantly do not want to cut them any more to mount my radio/cd. Does anyone know of where I may be able to purchase a box to mount inside one of the lockers to save me cutting the panels?

Hi Nigel - suggest you try a car radio specialist retailer. The box you want should be available. I had exactly the same issue, obtained a 'radio mounting box' - moulded plastic unit tailor-made for radio mounting (surprisingly!!). Radio slots into front opening. Unit has mounting holes for screws, and can be used either way up for either top mounting on a shelf/other surface, or underslung on a shelf/cabinet etc. I did this very successfully suspending on a shelf inside a top locker. I'm sure they are still available. Think you'll have to ask for the product from a car-audio shop though. They're not expensive, but you don't see them 'on display' much either! Good luck. Richard.

We also have a Bailey Pageant, my husband made the box for the radio from some laminated wood he bought at B&Q it's a really good colour match for the wood in the van and he's fixed it to a shelf inside the locker above where the T.V. goes.

You caravan dealer should be able to sell you a bit of timber to make an open box shape and you can get the radio sleeve from Halfords etc

Nigel, you can buy them from a caravan dealer, but suggest you make something as they are a stupid price for what they are.(

If you are near Stoke on Trent I have some beech offcuts that I used to make some shelves etc for our friends Pageant Bordeaux.Very good match. I could even make you a box !
