Hi

Looking to change my  CI Cusona 600 for a Bailey SE745 or a Swift 724FB, any thoughts or advice.

Cheers Paul

Sorry,don't know anything about those vehicles...but what ever you look at,make sure you check the ACTUAL payloads AND axle weights..and don't just go by what is stated in their brochures either,insist on the dealer getting it weighed and providing you with a weight certificate(showing axle loadings as well as gross weight)prior to signing on the dotted line...

Too many people with coachbuilts,get caught out by overloaded rear axles....

We have had a Bailey 745 since end April, we have done about 6,000 miles and spent about 65 nights away in it. We are very pleased with the van, good load margin, comfortable bed, superb road holding and good mpg. We averaged 34 mpg on motorways/autobahns and 28 mpg on main roads, that was fully laden and with two bikes on the back. We also normally travelled with a full water tank.
