Another great video, lovely seeing all the places you’re visiting. I think you should introduce a pub review into the videos😉🙌🏼

I live not far away, the reservoir looks really low, considering it doesn’t seem to have stopped raining all year here I’m surprised but I’m guessing it has filled up a bit since your visit. Well done for climbing the Gorge, we can see it from our home in The Poldens on a clear day.

I remember watching a repeat episode of Bergerac last year when he was eating lunch at le Rossignols .We have stayed at Le Hallerais a few times ,I like it there because Dinan ls lovely and it is not too far from Cancale,Dinard and the Cote de Amore. If you walk along the river to Lehon that is lovely as well

Love the Video Giethoorn looks lovely!! We found walking in the NL was really nice 🍺

So so sorry to hear the sad news about Bonnie, I know what you guys are going through, we lost our rescue spaniel 2 months ago . She made it to 6 weeks short of her 15th birthday. 💔

Where’s the dog?

Great video thanks for sharing your travels, we have been caravaning for over 30 years and now have fiat Ducato based campervan

Great video as always, keep them coming

Oh dear, buy new, buy problems. What a fantastic feature that window is, so good it has to be covered up because its blind is not fit for purpose! Unbelievable. When will Jo public realise these "new" gimmicks suck people in and perpetuate the problem that British caravan manufacturers consistently turn out poorly designed and assembled products. Aided and abetted (by the way) by the CAMC and the other one.

Our blinds are exactly the same not fit for purpose our caravan is 2022 please let me know how you get on with your blinds great review guys .

We were looking at buying a Bailey, glad we didn't after all the water ingress reports and now your window / blind issues, shocking quality and after sales, it would seem.

nice video

Beautiful area, we stayed at Le Ranolien just outside of Perros Guirec last year. The stone formations are amazing to see along the coast path.

Seems to me that all these new caravans have doubled in price but the build quality has plummeted ,I’ve not seen one new caravan review on here that doesn’t have some sort of QC issue, none of these companies seem to be testing vans for quality before they are sold to the general public.

Thanks for the review, we just part exchanged our motorhome for a Unicorn 5 Cabrera and looking forward to picking it up in the next few weeks. Can I ask, you mentioned in your review about the nose weight was very heavy, Not sure what car you are using, but my car has only a 100Kgs weight allowance on the tow bar, and not sure the allowable nose weight of the caravan, would it be worth taking some additional items when we pick up the caravan to reduce nose weight slightly? Thanks

Apparently, according to Bailey, you should not leave the caravan with the blinds down for very long - which I kind of thought is what they were supposed to be for? Our blinds are exactly the same as yours. Fully agree about the lack of attention to detail - Bailey make nice vans but their pre delivery inspection and after-sales service is atrocious. They: 1. made the upper cupboard doors longer but did not add extra hinges so the doors would not stay open fully, 2. changed the bunk curtain so that it fouled the bathroom door and opening the door tore the rail out of the ceiling; 3. fitted light switches with the wrong screws so that the switches sometimes jammed in the on position. 4. designed the radio aerial connection so badly that the aerial lead would not stay connected, especially as the radio was loose in its housing. (I had to make a support bracket to stop this) 5. fitted the entrance door so that the thing would not lock from the inside (could not pull the door hard enough) Oh - the big front window stays shut as when you open it you cannot get it closed again unless someone outside pushes hard on it while you move the catches The dealer, Wandahome, helped us with extra hinges and Bailey never responded for over a year so I gave up. Which is clearly what they wanted.

Sorry to hear about Bonnie, we lost our travel buddy and its hard ❤

I’d be interested to see a 1 year update!

Really sad to hear about Bonnie, we lost are dog new year and no one can put it into words how much you feel. Similar circumstances but he was 10.5years but my heart goes out to you both, we just bring his ashes with us now on trips and are son claimed them when we are at home ❤

So sorry to hear about lovely Bonnie - sending you both lots of ♥️

So sorry to hear about your wee dog Bonnie. Always hard.

Oh no, both me and Mandy are gutted to hear about Bonnie 😢What a lovely dog too. We know how tough it is and so young too.

We know how you feel with dog loss, at 40 years off marriage we have had 4 black Labradors (over time) great companions and make you get out and walk, at least you have great memeriores. Robert & Carolyn

We have the same problem with the front blind. We have to guide it by hand when closing both the top and bottom half.

Cette ville de bobos gauchos et à vomir 🤮🤢

How did you know that most of them spoke English?

I recently looked at a brand new Phoenix at a dealer. I immediately noticed the flimsy blinds that get stuck, even on the brand new van. I didn’t look further and crossed the Bailey off my shortlist.

the windows coming loose in travel seems like a bit issue. And it got me wondering. Do you drive with the blinds down so that when the window opens in travel, the air, at 55-60 mph, is blowing against those "paper" blinds? That would put an awful lot of pressure on them, causing them to deform pretty quickly I would imagine.

Hello did you get your blinds sorted

Hi Graham Claire and Bonnie , Lovely vlog and you seemed to get brilliant weather and Ghent looks very nice. Hope the old noggin is ok . Regards Robert Carolyn and Ellie the lab.

j'aime Douarnenez

unfortunately bailey caravans all leak ,i have had 4 and the same problem with them all , i currently have 2 wall panels stripped off my sons caravan ,a bailey ranger and am replacing wall boards insulation and timbers . my advise ,dont keep it past 4 years old because if you get a problem it gets very expensive very quickly ,the nose weight seems very high to me .

Hi Graham , haven't see much posted and love your vlogs , have you given up or other things taking up your time. Robert

Hello did bailey sort out your blinds I’m thinking of buying a Cadiz Regards Chris

Went there last summer for a few nights, were on 103, lovely views as we were on the upper tier. did that same walk as did and to that pub, at outside as it was a hot sunday

Nice video, been to that site many times last year (2023) fantastic staff but both couples have now left, end of last season (2023). That walk and castle look beautiful, i have just messaged my daughter to show her as would love to talk my grandson on that walk and to the wildlife park, thank you for sharing, gonna sub and look at your other vids too

Hi looking to go to France with our caravan . What maps do you use please?

Interesting comments on the new front end, just shows you they design things but dont test them. Like a lot of compaines, its cheaper to design build and sell and pay for any aftercare then go through a testing phase.

Just an update The caravan has gone in this week for the main window and also the front door you can lock it but it pulls open so it is not secure as well as the fly screen not closing correctly, the toilet / bedroom door sometimes closes and so needed attention . the front sunroof surround fell down so I have pushed in firm the velcro seems to have sorted it and finally the central heating tank in the wardrobe had a jubilee clip was not fastened so then water was all over the bedroom floor we collected the caravan September 23 and only this week over a year has it been sorted . Well we will see when I check everything on collection fingers crossed.

As long as you say "Bonjour" when you walk in to a restaurant or shop, they will be helpful. It is considered to be very rude if you don't!

Hi Guys, Did Bailey ever sort the front blind issues.. I am really concerned that this issue seems to be a really common issue and we have just sold our 2012 Unicorn and almost about to order a 23 new cabrera.. Thanks so much. J.

Great video guys🥰 Lovely seeing the beautiful Kent countryside!

What a ridiculous road to put a caravan site down!

For the money you pay for a brand new caravan ,everything should be good for at least 10 yrs ! That outside trim coming off, the crappy paper blinds , the awning which captures water. Sounds like to me this company has been cutting corners. What concerns me is what's next that will break. I would just buy a good clean second hand caravan and the money that I have saved,get all the jobs done that I want. You seem like a bloke who ain't gonna take crap from a dealer, so I know you will get them to fix up their mistakes

i read the concrrtina blinds loose there memory if left exposed to heat and sun so i only close them at nightvabdbuse the curtains if i need privacy in the day ( i have a Bailey 644)

We noticed the same with our fiamma canopy when it rained. We bought the sun shade to help and it worked. Great when sunny as well so works for its purpose and an additional benefit as well when the weather turns. The fiamma sides are also great when the rain comes in from the sides. Great video. Thanks.

Happy birthday Claire 🎉.

Hi did the dealer sort out your front blinds on your Bailey caravan or did you adjust yourself?

Nice to get an honest review of positives and negatives, instead of the usual Bailey FanBoy gushing reviews

Just been looking at a used cabrera,glad ive seen this video.will give it a miss.was thinking of going back to Bailey after recovering from the pegasus disaster with its dismal quality issues and rotten floor.will hang onto our 15 year old Abbey Vogue a while longer. Seems Bailey are still poor quality wise.
