Which model number, is it a 625?  We have the larger 740 which we purchased in 2013 and we have used it quite extensively. If its the 625 I think that is the one that Tammygirl has so I am sure she would be happy to give her insight.

Hi Elsa, David is correct in that we have the 2012 625SE 2 berth Bailey motorhome. What is you would like to know?

We have done 28000 mls in it so far both in europe and uk. There is loads of storage space in the overhead lockers and under the beds. The heater is very good as is the fridge. Beds are comfy and roomy.

I have and do drive the van but OH is the main driver (he hates being a passenger, in any vehicle) Good mpg (we think)

ASk away if its this version you have been looking at and I'll happily get back to you.Smile

Hi Tammygirl,

Thanks, That sound good so far, I think that is the model we are after two long bench seat, glad to hear the heater is good and the fridge , is the fridge larger than the caravan? as we can get most thing in the fridge for 7 days apart from bread, may get a elec bike for shop ! When you park up for the week and got the heater on do you get cold air coming from the engine apartment, What is the cost of the road tax, and last the shower is it fully mould, not the wallboard as I don't like them,

Once again Thank you for your time, Elsa

Hi Elsa, the fridge we have is a Dometic, its certainly big enough for us for a couple of months away, the freezer compartment can be removed altogether giving a bigger fridge area. The freezer on ours is so good that even on a 24 hrs ferry the food I had in there was still frozen solid on arrival.

When parked up with the heater on? no there is no cold air coming from the engine, however you can get a draught from the cab area if you leave the cab heater set to freshair instead of recirculate, this shuts it off. We also have a set of Taylormade screens for the cab that have the longer bib at the front which covers the vents to the cab, this helps cut out the draughts. We also in the deepths of winter stand a small oil filled radiator at the cab end to help keep a balance within the habitation area.

We both have folding Ebikes and use them all the time while away, they are great fun and you can go for miles.

Road Tax, is £235 at the moment.

Shower, ours is a complete moulded shower.

Hope this helps, ask if you want more info.Smile

Hi Tammygirl, Thank you for the info, I will write down the note you said, handy to know, The Bailey we looking at is 620se model, But I can't get over that you have to change the cam belt every 5 years even if you only do 2000 miles a year more or less ? I have been talking to Motorhome owner I find them very helpfull better than Caravan owner, odd really ! Thanks Tammygirl

Vauxhall cars were 4yrs or 40000 miles, which ever came sooner.

A Motorhome that is static for long periods, as most are, don't do cam belts any good at all.

The cost over 4 or 5 years really isn't much compared with a new engine!........that's my philosophy anywaySmile

The cam belt issue will have nothing to do with it being a Bailey. You do realise that, I hope, Elsa.
