Bailey 2016 water ingress problem
Our 2016 Vigo is currently at the dealer being dried out after rectifying a problem with the roof sealant strip which joins the body of the van to the rear end. We noticed that the inside join had a brown line along the whole width of the van,which we wrongly assumed was melted glue caused by the hot weather we had in June. My eagle eyed wife then noticed that the floor underneath the laundry basket was wet. Again, our assumption that it was a simple problem of the sealant in the shower had leaked was incorrect.. Having spoken to the dealer, this seems to be a common problem after Bailey used a different method to make the joint. The brown line turned out to be rust stains from the retaining screws. We were lucky as we spotted the problem early and the dealer already had a kit in stock from Bailey to rectify the problem. The only wood in the caravan is on the floor and we all know about the problems this can cause. Not sure if any other models are affected but thought I would flag this up to other members.
