having sold our 2005 Compass Omega 524 last year, we decided to look for another this week and have stumbled onto a Bailey Pegasus 546, its version with the fixed triple bunks at rear which is ideal for the children.  Anyone else have this van? it looks a lovely van and is Alutec construction on a 2011 build.  Comes with a motor mover already fitted, and the dealer has thrown in a brand new Kampa rallye air 390 porch awning which is fantastic and easy to setup.

Not a layout that many liked apparently..
3rd bunk is basically sleeping on the floor.

But there is a market for them and i thought they looked OK

As we only have 1 that sometimes comes with us we opted for a fixed island bed "mobile hotel suite"!!!

Basically its an executive 2 berth with a set of comfy sofas up front... lol

2010 Sterling Elite Explorer. (7.95m long twin axle ~ 1750kgs MPTLW)
Not too taken with the newer ones as they have the transverse bed and we like the in line version..

Only down side is the tyres are hideously expensive for what they are... and they had to be replaced this year!!!!  :-[

Smirking at the thought of that on the back of your leaf!!

Hi we have a twin axle Elddis Superstorm 2010 had it since 6 months old double dinette , it doesnt matter which caravan you go for with children they love the out doors & at least you can take the kitchen sink with you !

We had a Bailey Olympus II with the alutech construction. Had no issues and enjoyed the experience. Only down side for me was a traditional wooden constructed floor. Why go plastic and aluminium to then leave the floor to rot over time.

it has been the subject of work colleagues "banter", they are all desperate for it to let me down ( the leaf ) its amazing how much they want it to go wrong, left one of them standing the other morning on way into work in his Saab 93 diesel!! hahaha, he didn't mention it but could clearly see he was devastated by it after harping on about how slow it is etc!!! had to take her out if eco!! lol.

Used to be the same reaction against X5 diesel owners.......until one left them standing at the lights!  People were used to land rovers which had no 'go' and the X5 could scare more than a few hot hatches as it could keep up in the corners too.

Well went to view the Bailey today, have to say, bit of a letdown, the cabinets all looked quite old fashioned and not a patch on our friends van which is the same year but clearly with a re-designed interior.  Ive ended up opting for a new swift sprite!!
