Bailey must be reasonably confident over their motorhomes there is 10 years warranty on the habitation body, the only ones that came near that (unsure if its still the case) was Elldis/Compass

I was actually able to inspect and view all over a real 740 yesterday at the franchised dealer selling it and was not very impressed by the exterior appearance which is boxy and not modern at all. The graphics also spoil the effect, so my wife thought.
I understand more changes are planned in the design in the next few months

We were quite excited that Bailey were finally going to build Motorhomes as we liked our Bailey Caravan, But I must admit we are very disappointed with what they have produced.

It looks boxy and there are too many bits 'screwed on' to the outside it looks a bit too homemade for our liking. Maybe their next effort will be better, the caravans seem to go through phases of poor choice of materials and colours.

Bought a Bailey 740 m/h in Dec and we are very pleased with it. Out of the 4 vans we have owned, this is by far the warmest. The insullation is superb. Have added a Webasto Air Top,Steling 45 amp Battery to Battery charger,2 110watt solars and of course Oyster sat set up. We are away quite a lot, so we treat the m/h as our 2nd home. Best wishes to all fellow m/homers.

quietest motorhome I've ever driven, very warm, and seems to be using a lot less gas on heating.
I have two issues, I can't turn the pump on once the water tank is empty and so can't drain it down and one of the heating vent pipes has become detached in a unreachable area. back to the dealers for that one.
Other wise no issues and I am getting 30mpg

The m/home is pretty rattle free, the quietest van we have had so far. No structural issues so far. Our previous m/h was an Autocruise Stardream, the build quality of which we consider is nowhere near the quality and ruggedness of the Bailey, which seems to be a much stronger van. The only glitch so far has been the habitation door handle coming off, which was easy enough to reaffix. We purchased the vehicle from Webbs at Padworth,Reading who are a pleasure to deal with. In fact the Bailey is 2nd m/h we have purchased from them.Webbs fitted a double lens rearview camera,2nd battery and extra power points in the purchase price.
