    good luck with the new purchase. I have a friend who works as a service/repair technician at a local dealers and he told me when i was buying my first van 6 months ago to avoid Bailey and Eldiss as worst for damp, but only his opinion.

    We  bought a new Elddis affinity this year, so far very pleased with it. It's our second Elddis van and we kept the first one for 9 years and no problems or damp.

    Hope all goes well with your new van.

    Which does not pan out as our dealer of both Bailey and Coachman say that both of the makes they sell are now pretty bomb proof as far as damp is concerned but Coachman not good on supplying parts,

    The "hymer effect" on the Eldiss has yet to be seen,but no matter what L/V you buy the majority of problems seem to arise from the dealer who sells them,and whether they do a decent PDI,if at all these days? or rely on the purchaser to find any "problems" so the dealer can rectify them and make a claim for warranty work from the manufacturerundecided

    We were in Surrey yesterday and got speaking to another of the guests who had purchased in October a new motor caravan  from a Marquis dealership in Dorset, and was saying just how poor or non existant  the PDI had been with the "problems" he had found,with it and ,talking to him it seems that although some should not have been there most if a PDI had been thorough should have been rectified before handover
