    I am glad your are obviously as happy with your Bailey as we are with our Hymer. 

    ...As i said the few on here who complain about uk build quality, are not representative of the far larger number of satisfied owners, and with your reply now see why it was so, but we met  a possible German minority?,

    Ps this is our second problem so far free grp bodyed Bailey appart from the not UK made fridge

    If you read the PC annual surveys it shows usually that Adria and Sprite do have over 90% satisfied customers. The rest are usually in the mid eighties and are almost interchangable except for Eldiss who come bottom with under 80% satisfaction.

    Not sure what level of satisfaction is satisfactory but in general under 90% looks pretty bad to me and there is certainly room for improvement.

    ...I can only find a bit about the survey and it says Bailey and Sprite take top gold awards

    I still have the magazine and the top two are Sprite and Adria.

    The gold award is set low enough for most to get in.

    We went to the NEC on Wednesday.  We liked both the Lunar Clubman SR and the dealers Swift Sienna Assent which is like the Challenger 560, centre bathroom and island bed.  We have put down a deposit but we're going to see them next week to make final decision.
     The Lunar we like because of the slimline fridge and huge skylight but the Swift wins it with the omnivent, 2 places up front for TV and more plug sockets.  Looking forward to Alde heating too.

    Write your comments here...We have bought a 2016 Swft 580 Sienna Accent new in June and we are very satisfied with it. The dealer has been good as we had a couple of minor issues and these were sorted in minutes whilst they fitted an extra panel to the nearside
    seat at the door side because my wife like to sit facing the front during the day. They fitted this and it looks like original fitting. We traded a Lunar in because of damp trouble which although fixed I worried about the wooden frame being a problem later
    in its life. The new smart + frame of the swift should negate this problem. I also feel and my wife also that the Swift is better built with superior materials but that is our opinion.

    Are you there this weekend, Steve?  I'll keep my eyes open for a new Swift, if you are, as we get there tomorrow for 4 nights.Didn't you get the dealer to give you a free night somewhere so that you can try out all the new features?

    Hi Nellie

    Afraid it only arrived at the dealers today so we plan to collect next Saturday and go straight to Southport as the dealer is fairly local.

    Thanks for the suggestion and we will add the nights booking to our list of questions on collectionSticking Tongue Out

    Have a great break at Southport....

    Steve

    Thanks Nellie.

     We are using Stewart Longton at Chorley this time. 

    Our last van came from Campbells who I believe were part of Prestons and I would not recommend their sales team Once the money changed hands I could not get problems resolved. Bearing in mind this was  our first van they  gave us a perfunctory handover
