Bailey Motorhomes

Yes Tammygirl the 625SE. Not seen one in the flesh yet, in fact very few for sale in the country.  There is one about 45 miles from us so will pop over asap to have a look.

Interested to hear where you store bedding!!

Hi Natasha,  in the 625SE above the lounge you have 3 overhead lockers on each side and along the rear of the van, in the 2 back corners between the lockers there is an open space, could be used for alsorts, we roll up the duvets and pop them one in each corner, there is bags of room so could fit both in 1 corner if so wished. I purchased some material to match unpholstery and made 2 largish cushion cover (to fit pillows) during the day they sit on the couches as bolster cushions, and at night just unzip them and pull out the pillow. I hate having to keep lifting the bed to get at bedding and in winter it gets cold under there. With 9 overhead lockers though there is plenty of space to store it there if you don't want it on display in the corners. When we are abroad we also have a small fan each that clips to the bottom of the shelf in the corners, this then is aimed straight down the bed giving a lovely breeze when its hot.

Looks like a caravan behind the cab. The cab seats are redundant when you arrive anywhere. Where do you put a table. As for bedding. In the front when you are in the back or in the back when you are in the front,

The 2 front seats turn round and can be used once on site. At the  rear of our van, in the centre under the rear window, we have a 2 draw cabinet that has a flip top table top so no need of a free standing table. In fact we leave it at home, we have a very light weight folding table for outside use. As for the bedding I have given details of how we store ours to Natasha but there is more than enough overhead lockers to store duvets and sheets.

Just because you don't like something there is no need for you to rude.

Out of interest can you retract the wing mirrors easily?

You can reach out of the cab window and fold it in quite easily, same with the passenger side assuming you have a passenger!!!

Thanks David, I find ours (non Bailey, different base) quite hard to move in a hurry.

Thank you Tammygirl for the information. Brilliant idea about the bedding and will certainly consider doing the same if we do buy one.  Hoping to go and view on Thursday.  

We have the wing mirror protectors on just incase they do get a small knock, so far we've been ok.

The only time we've ever had any problem with a wing mirror was driving through the Great Glen towing a caravan, white van man came opposite way, BANG extended wing mirror went flying off and smashed. White van man just a spec in the distance

Natasha, hope its everything you want. We love ours to bits, it hasn't been trouble free, but anytime we've had an issue our dealer (who is great) has been very quick to re-solve it.

If you are buying from a dealer do make sure that the warrenty is up to date and that you get a damp check done. Don't want to put you off but some have had problems with damp especially behind the rear passenger side wheel arch. If buying other than dealer the same applies make sure you get it checked for damp and warrenty is transfered and intact. Bailey were not our choice when we had caravans but the motorhome we love.

the damp behind the rear wheel arch isnt exclusive to Bailey, we had the problem on our Bolero and the whole Swift range can be affected....

as TG, say....just check things out carefully...wise words.

Simple answer is don't buy British Junk. If we all stopped buying it they would have to get their act together or go out of business. You would have thought that in this day and age you would be able to make a box that does not leak.

Bit like the COMPULSORY Habitation Check.
