I have just had my 4 year old caravan serviced as I do every year.They found that the inner wheel bearings had split apart. Cost of replcement was £38 each. What concerns me is that after 46 years of towing it is the first time this has happend. Also I keep
a record of all journeys and mileage with the van. It has only done 2500 miles during the 4 years. We used to travel a lot on the continent and a single holiday would involve 2500 miles and we would go year after year with the same van. It seems we would have
broken down with this caravan. My service centre contacted both ALKO and Bailey with the respose that they were out of warranty. I question whether the bearings were fit for purpose? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
