Bailey Motorhome Feedback (2 Viewers)

Would I be correct in thinking Bailey motorhomes are only available with a manual gearbox? Based on the Peugeot chassis, which does not offer an automatic option?

Shame, because we live outside Bristol - where they're made - and would otherwise have considered getting one. No auto box = a 'no-no' for us, unfortunately.

@mikebeaches - That was the case when we saw ours at Peterborough 2 years ago, spoke to an old boy who would have bought one but was told only Fiat invested in the auto model. I think if things had changed Bailey and Peugeot would have made a big splash about it.

I'm not sure if they do a automatic gearbox?? We were not offered that as a option

They don't offer an auto option......I would have had one if they did. But still cracking value for money vans!

We have the 740SE aPproach, and love it. A couple,of,early teething probels, whoch were sorted. Light, spacious and airy, loads of storage, comfortable. When we visit our dealer for soemthing or other we always have a.look round the vans on show, but still come away thinking ours is great.

We have a Bailey 750 and it's brilliant, absolutely love it and had no problems, the extra width makes a huge difference!!!!!

We also have the 750 totally agree with Steve's comments, especially about the width makes a huge difference to interior space and we have had no problems even driving through narrow streets in France and England .
Value for money in terms of what comes standard with the Bailey vehicle, when first purchased from new, i.e. Microwave , 4 burners one being 12v hotplate , full oven and grill and Alde heating (no noise at night , Wonderful) TV points etc. etc.(check out the specs) at no extra cost.
We got ours from Morans motorhomes new , brilliant after service, spent 10 weeks in it last year , very comfortable, easy to drive and getting 31mpg towing a scooter on a trailer. We will not be changing it anytime soon.
Hope it helps

This thread seems to have taken on a new life in the past day or so.
Since the original post we have been able to hire a 730 for our French holiday watching the TDF in the Alps.
Looks like we'll be having 3 or 4 days off grid on Col Du Glandon so that will make or break it
I just hope that the cassette lasts...

Have you read this recent thread on Bailey's?? Might be worth a look see.

At the end of the day, I guess there are people out there that have had problems with lots of motorhomes no matter what make they are, I had a Auto Trail and couldn't fault it, I've moved to a bailey and think it's brilliant, one of my mates has a swift and has had nothing but problems, my other mate swears by swift and wouldn't have anything else.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is, look around, find the motorhome that suits you and your budget, try and get a good warranty and don't read to much into other people's bad experiences, for every bad report on any van then there will be a good report to say the opposite
Some vans were mad on a Friday and that will always be the case!

A good warranty? That an oxymoron with british vans!lol
