You'll love our Bailey as much as we do, I'm positive about that. When we first walked in through the door into the light airey spacious lounge with its 'L' shape design and swivelling captain’s chairs, great kitchen and separate bedroom, we knew it was the right one for us.
We've spent time adventuring along coastlines finding beaches, along rivers and lakes, as well as visiting campsites for their added conveniences. We've seen beautiful parts of Britain we intend to revisit and more we've yet to discover. This van makes the perfect mobile base camp to do it all from.
As well as the lounge, the well thought out kitchen with loads of storage, full oven, grill, sink, decent size fridge freezer and microwave. The kitchen isn't too short of space to make a decent evening meal in, that is if you’re not watching the sun go down with the gas BBQ on and your favourite tipple. Before retiring to the separate bedroom with island bed and again plenty of storage and hanging space. That’s another great feature, space to go to bed without having to make the bed. Then in the morning you can get up and start your day without having to put it all away again.
The shower room has a shower, cassette toilet and sink, storage for all your toiletries etc. and is again a nice sized space. Onboard there is two large water tanks one for fresh water and one for your grey wastewater. It also comes with LPG tanks for your cooking, heating, hot water for when you’re not plugged in. The LPG is a great convenience for refilling gas, we just google nearest place to fill, but generally the gas will last a good week even in winter with everything running. The van has solar panels fitted which top up the leisure batteries really well (against all odds in the uk) but if you plan to move around and the engine is running or you plugged in somewhere you'll not need to worry about them, they will last a few days even in the worst solar charging days. The exterior has a full-length awning for the extra shade with gas point and electric 3pin plug point for outdoor entertainment etc.
One last thing, this van is just tipping over 3500kg.... she wieghs in at 3850 kg... its the price you pay for all the space and storage i guess, so you'll need to have a C1 licence. Have a look on the rear of your photo card licence, if you passed your test pre 1997 you'll have it anyway but from 1997 it became a test requirement, it covers you to drive upto 7.5 tonne vehicles basicaly.
Thank you for taking the time to read and we hope to meet you soon
Matt and Jane.
