Swift vs Bailey

Having owned a bailey and a few abbey which is from swift stable would 100 precent say swift 

A well known caravan repairer in Lancashire reckoned (2 years ago) that Swift would be his first choice because he regarded their after sales service as the best. However, we are presently thinking about a Bailey Unicorn.

Please look very carefully before buying a unicorn my wife and I called ours a throwaway caravan because of poor workmanship

Thanks Cabbiemick For the warning. Think we'll stick with our 8 year old Crusader. Better the devil yiu know.

Customer service good or bad is normally down to the "point of sale" ie dealers,once they have your money,

An independant repairer we know says that Swift are a nightmare to deal with for parts(he thinks its because of the amount of parts they need to keep their dealers sweet),

One thing that is bad across all makes is dealers that if you do not buy from them ,do not expect them to rectify any warranty work,

remember that when looking for a "deal"

We are on our second damp free Bailey some friends are on their third (reason we bought our first) 

Only faults they and we have had are from bought in equipment,mostly from over the channel

Thanks for replys.are the 6 year warrantys any good. if i found damp 5 years away, would they fix it? obviously i will service once a year

Please be careful Cabbiemick, this sort of talk will get you into JVB66 bumper book of moaners.

...If the cap fits

Repeat after me

There is no perfect van except Bailey,

There is no perfect van except Bailey etc etc

To be honest if someone put a gun to my head and said you have to choose between a Swift or a Bailey I think I would choose a Bailey, I think that the plastic interiors of Swift group are to my eyes horrid.   Alternative opinions do exist. 

how are warrantys for covering water leaks ?
