Had a look at the new Baileys yesterday at Hagans, very nice indeed! Some great new storage options in them compared to the last models.

Radiator heating which seemed to work very well, was lovely and warm. Julie loved the optional pink seats which look better in the flesh :)















Now where did I put that cheque book...........

Ally I sense there could be a change in the air! It always dangerous to bring the wife with you. Had a look at them myself today and was quite impressed but still think they are not as well put together as the Adria. I liked the layout the same as my own with the 2 single beds at the back but the garage was quite small. However I can have a closer look when you get yours.

I thought the new Baileys were black on the cab but then Liz tells me I'm colour blind.

I looked at the last model and was disappointed in the lack of storage and the finish and quality was not to the same standard as my own so wasn't tempted, but I have been meaning to call in to have a look at the new improved ones. The best thing about them is the price compared to other british made vans

The thing about them for me is - no wooden frame = no rot :) Plus they are 7"'s wider, makes a hell of a difference.

I think they are quite nice but I am not sure about the shape of the bit over the cab.
Just not as streamlined as others.

Legs up I suppose, but the bit in front comes away.

I think that would be a better buy than a van conversion if one wanted to downsize.

When he showed the bed coming down, all I kept thinking was how would you get up there between the roof and the bed it is very narrow. :-/

It comes down right to the seat, it is quite low when it is fully down.
