A question for the club; axles and brakes

Can I ask what is the threshold of reports at which the club would take up members concerns?

I doubt that they will

Good for you viatorum. The Club appears to be so in hoc to the good will of the caravan manufacturers that it chooses to ignore the problems which its members experience. I realized recently that the magazine no longer publishes surveys of members' experiences with their cars and caravans. I wonder why

Have done as moderator suggests, awaiting reply. Oddly didn't get one last time I emailed hence the post.

And anyway there are many precedents for the club answering questions on this forum are there not?

There are many more questions unanswered than answered. 

I'll patiently wait for an answer, if the thread doesn't get locked 

I hope you aren’t holding your breath, waiting for an answer viatorem?   You will turn blue.

“Is it correct that there are insufficient complaints raised for the club to react in support of its members?

I think it wouldn’t be reasonable for the club to respond to every whinge from a impertinent member.   I assume that they apply the following formula, before taking action.

action level = n+1 where n = the total numbers of members.

Seriously I feel for you and everyone else who is in the same situation.  I know of at least 2 Bailey’s that have required axle replacements.  It seems strange that it is a problem that predominately afflicts Bailey’s

There's a couple of reasons Bailey show early onset axle failure, firstly they are designed with  a low wheel arch clearance primarily because of the flat top to the wheel arch, secondly they use full profile tyres not 70 series. Also lack of headroom on axle spec  combined with manufacturers trying to minimise mtplm leading to unintentional overloading by some. I also suspect Alko had a duff batch of rubber 2015/16. Other brands are now suffering  but can go undetected as there's ample clearance thus taking longer to show a problem.Ultimately the rubber suspension will shear and the wheel will disappear up into the wheel arch as there is no bump stop to prevent this. 

Definitely and sadly my last UK built LV as the replacement axle is heading the same way! My other van a 10 year old Adria has a faultless chassis ,so it's not me overloading nor any issues with my previous 6 uk built vans.

Just noticed this sentence at the top of CT page

It will also enable us to respond to your questions, comments and to resolve those occasional grievances.

Or maybe not as the case may be

I am another who has had an axle failure on a 2015 Bailey Unicorn Cadiz 3. Bailey didn't want to know as I was 5 months out of warranty and Al-Ko have to responded to my complaint. Dealer fixed a new axle at a cost of £1300!

Ouch,  sorry to hear that. I believe 2015 vans showed the peak of this axle problem, it's probable that a manufacturing fault was the cause. You could still raise it with the club and DVSA, it may help them get enough stats to take it further. A recall would be good!
