Does anyone have any knowledge regarding the delivery of 2022 Bailey Unicorns please? It would seem that they are hit with one delay after another, rear lights, now front windows. Completely trust our retailer but plans cannot be confirmed until we can be confident of delivery dates and everyone seems to be in the dark. Have been told six weeks after build date, is this standard?

Plenty of complaints about deliveries being delayed on the Bailey Owners FB pages. I know that's no joy for you to read, but it's the way it is at the moment, although I don't think other makes are any better.

7 months!! I'd have rejected the deal had it taken that long.

I'm being ignorant here. I ordered new vans to factory order in 2006 and 2016. Both took 7 to 8 months.

But were you quoted that length of delivery? If told that the van was due in two months then that's when I'd expect it to be delivered, not after 3 times that.

The trouble is of course that the way prices are increasing you are more than likely to end up paying more, probably best to stick with it even if not ideal. If the OP is trading in another caravan I assume that have use of that until the new one arrives?

And then what? You need to get ‘real’ and read up about supply chain problems across nearly every industry. And with Ukraine it is getting a whole lot worse for many.

As said I don’t think this is unique to Bailey nor a recent problem entirely.

Our van, a Lunar bought in 2017, was promised for delivery 3 times and in the end only picked it up 6 days before going to France, after writing to reject the deal.
