Bailey 2016 on Autographs problems? (1 Viewer)

[Vic]

I have a 2012 740 (the pretty one) and I am now considering a 79-4t.
Have any of you got the new style Autograph and have you had any problems with it.
I know about the slow fresh water fill and slow waste. Got some fixes in mind.
Also, the new 160bhp 2 litre, how does it compare with the older 130bhp engine.
Looking forward to your answers.

Vic

Pick my 79-6 up on Friday.
I'll let you know if there are any issues.
On 'out and about live' the review mentions that the waste pipe is a bit low

Hi, I am hoping they are building my 79-6 this week, may pick your brains Targetpaster when you get yours and will let you know Vic when I get mine.

Targetpaster, just realised your pickup should be today, how did it go? My build has been delayed yet again so need to steal some excitement from others, makes me sound like some sort of Motorhome excitement vampire

 

[Purple2]

You're on the ball!
Managed to get mine early as it was an 'exhibition' model.
Only drove it back to my storage place but immediately struck by stability over the bigger wheels and wheelbase. Also hardly any rattles from cooker! Those little things! Not entirely convinced by white blind thingys at windows and I think they'll be off soon.

 

[Purple2]

Will be 'refilling' it tomorrow and I'll keep you posted.

Yeah I wasn't sure about those blind things either, no doubt my wife will confirm whether I actually like them or not at the same time as she tells me what I am going to do about them.

A few piccies never go amiss and just in case my wait gets extended again I will apologise now about the odd one or two (hundred) questions I may pass your way.

 

[Purple2]

So we spent the day 'moving home' and more than impressed with finish inside. LED lights all round.
Touch LED strip light over kitchen area. A lot of mains plugs and a couple of USB charger points. Drawers are good and I've lined them with the spongy rubber matting stuff and also the cupboards over kitchen area. Soft close and large buttons on drawers, more user friendly.
One thing I cant work out is where the 'pink' goes as there is no filler port on the outside of the m/h.
Havent filled with water yet and will be getting 2 x 6kg Gaslow at some point having tried the bottle sizes in the new shaped locker.
Was a bit concerned about 'garage' at the back as I didn't think my chairs would go in but no real bother in the end.
Even got space for my fishing rods for Twin Lakes trip!
Locker locks are much improved
I'll post pics later

 

[Gerby]

Hi, looking forward to piccies but no idea what "pink" is so no idea where it would go! Have a few ideas but they say more about how my mind works than providing a meaningful answer to your question.

Toilet flush solution

@Targetpaster
If no filler point on outside it will flush off main water tank direct using internal water pump, if you put pink in main tank it don't half make tea and coffee taste different.( JOKE )

Thanks very much for that.
Anybody want some spare 'pink' ?

Free to a good home!!

Mix your pink in a spray bottle and spray it by hand

You do know that the draw and cupboard contents will rearrange themselves to an unidentifiable mess after a minimum 3miles ....

Actually they won't. Fotos taken before I made up some partitioning in the drawers.

We have a 75-2 on order (our first Motorhome, tuggers previously) coming in May (maybe!). May I ask where you got your mug carrier from - looks good. Can you have the reversing camera on all the time? Any idea what "Peugeot Assist" covers? How big is the fuel tank? Do you have a drive away awning you intend to use?

 

[Purple2]

It's called a Muggi. E bay.
Don't use awning much but if we 'stay' somewhere I have a Kampa inflatable. If I know we are driving away then I only get the Fiamma awning out that's on the m/h.
The hard rubber 'cup holder' is Flori but shop around for that..
Not experimented with rear view camera yet but I have a rear window.
Pass on the other 2 at the moment!

The standard Boxer vans have a 90 litre fuel tank though still waiting for them to build my 79-6 so whilst I assume they keep the tank I can't confirm it.
