    I know this was some time ago, but what happened? Was the problem resolved? I had the same and Baileys replaced the roof. It is now happening again! Baileys response amounts to I shouldn't leave it out in the rain!

    I have seen several posts with regards this issue so it is by no means unknown. Have a look at the "Caravan Talk"  Bailey sub forum

    I assume the Club looks at these posts. Are they doing anything?

    This is Baileys advice,

    "I have liaised with our Repair Centre engineers who have advised the cause would be due to water being left on the roof area for an amount of time.  For future use we would recommend that after use, lower the nose to allow water to run off.  We would advise this is done for storage of the vehicle and between use."

    Following the "advice" give Baileys in my previous post, has anyone else been given advice as to the cause of the paint peeling?

    That’s really helpful advice. We used to store our van at a farm for 6 months at a time. If I had realised I was supposed to rush over and tip the van on end every time it rained perhaps I could have avoided all the damp issues that we had?
