David... Today we have just collected our U3 Vigo after having it's first service. No problems identified. After 12 months we've had a couple of issues that have been resolved over time by our dealer. The main issue was a Dometic
fridge that acted as if it was an upright chest freezer. No matter what setting it was put at, whilst on mains electric froze everything. Resulted in replacement unit fitted. Overall we are very pleased with the van, the solar panel is really handy to keep
the battery at peak levels all year, good for meets and holiday sites. If you're getting a mover fitted, take into account location of battery when discussing where to locate mover isolating switch! hope you have as much fun in your Vigo as we have had...

We have had our Vigo for a year now and it has been wonderful, we have spent 20 weeks in it and loved every moment.
Our problem was the matress which had to be changed due to the sagginess of it after just two weeks, but the new one is lovely.
The locker by the door, be careful, if you drop it down you can break the lock/closure on it, we did but as we were away in the south of Spain some araldite repaired it and we have had no problems since.
The electricity flap has had to be replaced at a cost to ourselves as we hit it when getting our chairs out from the locker next to it, it cost us £57.59 with labour to get that repaired, so we are very careful now.
The shelves in the fridge are being upgraded, they should be replaced in around 6 weeks, the current ones break at a drop of a hat, first I thought it was the weight of the milk carton, but the last two broke without anything on them. Dometic have stated that there is a problem and are going to replace them.
Now the good bits, Love the large fridge,no getting down on your hands and knees to get to the back of it.
The table is a pain, but if there is just the two of you the pull out table at the front works for us, mind you eating outside is the best option.
The shower is very good with plenty of hot water, the boost on the Alde system works well.
The heating system is excellent, girgled at first but after resetting the pump to number 2 which is what it should be, it was very quiet.
The picture window is lovely, making the caravan nice and bright, the layout is brilliant and the solar panel is really good when we use CL's.
All in all a very good caravan.
We went to the Caravan show last week and looked at all the other manufacturers with the same layout and we still think that Bailey is the best.
You have made a very good choice in our opinions.

We have had a Valencia since Nov 2014 after a 2010 Pegasus and are delighted with it, As shuckford says, think about position of isolator switch for motor mover. I did not want an extra access built into the side of the caravan so our dealer built a melamine
tower just inside the underbed locker door.0 -
Thanks for all those comments and advice, we r having a mover fitted so will bear that in mind, I thought the table would be an issue when we looked but can put up with it I think.what size tv are you able to put on the shelf in the bedroom, it looked quite small.
