It appears that Bailey (of caravan fame) are entering the motorhome market.

Full details start appearing early September. Should be interesting.

I've seen all sorts of stuff about them going into MH's; they seem to be spending alot of time & effort in working towards the launch. Tugger friends of ours have a Bailey, and they apparently have a good reputation for quality, lets hope they get it right. It needs some new blood in the marketplace - and British made Cool

Too right, Mike. I'd be very interested to see the layout(s) they offer - hopefully, something a little different. And I hope it won't be just a caravan with an engine.

Mind you, if I were them, I wouldn't have a clue what layouts to offer.

This is strange ref Baileys being a good make, as my Son was thinking of changing their caravan recently. They looked at Baileys and didn't think the quality was as good as they thought it would be in comparison to the Sterlings etc talking to the dealer he also agreed that Baileys did seem to have lost the quality feel in the past two or three years, he commented to my Husband during the conversation that he felt they needed to get back on track, to how it used to be.

No personal experience just something that has cropped up in recent weeks........maybe they are concentrating more on getting into the MH Market.

They recently had a long running saga involving problems with the exterior finish on their caravans.
They even suggested it was caused by one particular make of caravan cleaner.......one of the most popular ones Rolling Eyes

They must be doing something right. Walk around any CC site and you'll see that a dispropportionate number of newish caravans (possibly even a majority) are Baileys. It can look like a Bailey dealership at times.

They've also got a recall on at the moment for one of their vans, due to reports of alloy wheels becoming detached!

My sister and Brother-in-law are on their 3rd Bailey caravan but having looked at the latest models, they too say the quality has really gone down and would not swop to another Bailey.
What with Autosleepers making caravans and Baileys making motorhomes, they just want a bit of each others business.

Wouldn't entertain a Bailey again. Bought caravan about 5 years ago, first time out in the rain and we had a water feature in the bathroom, like a waterfall running down the wall Sad

Returned it to the dealer and demanded a brand new van or our money back. 3 months later we got a new van but were constantly looking for faults - ended up trading it in for a MH.

Wish we'd done that in the first place, as we love the MH.

Joe & Denise

PS Did you notice they gave us a brand new van, not many MH companies will do that.

Isn't the reason you have much more difficulty getting a MH or a car replaced is because it ahs been registered on the road with a number plate etc, whereas a caravan could be fixed, made to look new again and resold without anyone being the wiser?
