Water ingress on 2006 Bailey

[charlie_374349329]

We bought our Bailey Ranger 460/4 NEW in July 2006 from what was Barrons,now Discover It was serviced by them for the first 2 yrs at a cost of about £200!!! Had it serviced last week at a local independent NCC registered dealer for a special offer price of £130(A BIG SAVING). When we collected it last Friday,we were informed that there was 100% damp in the front N/S corner behind the lockers which felt like a piece of sponge and that this had almost certainly been happening since new.Baileys are footing the repair under the warranty.The point I make is that the main dealer(Barrons/Discover )had not found the damp. At £200 a throw you'd think they would have!!! but I'm sure they'll say it was checked and found to be in order!!!. If you have a Bailey....get it checked THOUROUGHLY for damp by someone who knows and cares what they are doing, especially if the 6 years warranty is almost finished.

Hi Charlie.

Thats very bad news on your van. Makes you think did Barrons actually service any part of the caravan!! We got a new bailey last year , due its first service in October. Must admit tho caravan itself is excellent .

Hi Dougie....Yep, bad news, however Bailey are putting things right. Also when I picked the'van up from the service this year, there were two nuts lying on the caravan floor, when I asked what they were for the service guy told me they were one shot nuts which were removed and new ones replaced when the rear of the wheels were serviced, and didnt Dicover/Barrons leave them for me to see....NOPE was the answer. Makes you think doesnt it????

But you learn by your mistakes and I hope others learn by mine
