On my visit to the N.E.C I obtained two quotes for a Bailey Brindisi. Same p/x, same spec for the Bailey. Today, away from the show, I viewed the Bailey and obtained a third quote. Turns out the cost to change is £1900.00 less that that quoted at the show.
Similar  experience  for a quote on a Sterling Eccles. Lesson learned is that the show is great for viewing however, in some cases, may cost you a lot more. Sad

    The  Best  part  of  viewing  at  NEC  is  that  you  can  compare  different  Models/makes/lay  outs  two  or  three  times  without  driving  from  one  to  t'other.

    {Always  assuming  you  can  remember  where  abouts  they  are,  of  course Surprised }

    Then  you  can  start  getting  serious  at  different  Stands  or  on  line  or  even checking  them  out  at  dealers  without  having  lots  of  bodies  vying  to  open  the  shower room  or  the  storage  area  while  you  want  to  try  the  cupboards 
    etc !

    Countax,I take it they were the same year of manufacture.I did the opposite,had a quote from the dealer before hand,went to the show, only to find at the show a "free" motor mover included,and a slightly better financial deal given.Deal clincher was a Alko
    security wheel lock included as well.

    Write your comments here...same build year January 2017. No free items on the Bailey at the show or at the dealers. Incidentally, the show price on the Eccles included the so-called "£500.00 cash back". Show price on Brindisi included delivery charge whereas
    dealer agreed no charge.
