Afternoon all, just thought I let you know of the issues I have had with Bailey Brindisi and its repair issues. Although the there is a 6 year ingress which can be extended to 10 years but all this does not make much of a difference when you have to wait nearly, currently 64 days (and counting) and still no sign of the part from Baileys suppliers. Problem happened during a rally at Stonehaven, after a cold snap of weather, ( 5Dec 16) and we had the heating on and before we out for a function there was drip running down the wall inside the caravan from the coving mid way in the bedroom area.
Took Van to the dealership, who incidentally I have no issues with they are trying their best to get the van back to us, but the repair which happens to be at where the roof is joined with the front and back panels connected by strip and two end caps. The dealership was promised that 17 Jan parts would be available from bailey then hours to fix the van and a day for the new adhesive to take hold properly then van could be returned. With another rally due in Feb 17th I asked for an update last week and the latest news is that part expected 20 Feb into Bailey then expressed mail up to my dealer who can effect a repair. Bailey had commented that they are having issues with their supplier of the repair kit that they made for apparent on going issues with the join on Bailey caravans. Absolutely fed up with Bailey, the van is 4 months old bought from new and it has been in the workshop almost as long as I have had it!! Not happy at all. I live in hope that the part really does arrive on the 20th and fixed before the end of Feb 17. Has anybody else had leaking issues with Bailey and shocking repair times, by the way I appreciate the 2 week shut down for xmas.

Appears the main issues was lack of appropriate sealant in the construction on the production line.
