Rather excited .

we collect our new Bailey Unicorn Valencia tomorrow. Woo hoo!

Interestingly, the LED rear lights have gone due to the wiring issues, and replaced with standard bulbs; saw it being prepped in the workshop today and it's looking 'gooooood'!!!!!!

Hurrah!

Got it! Lovely!! Is now parked on our drive so we can put all the 'stuff' back in it!

Lots to figure out (Alde heating controls for one!) but it looks darned good!

Just got to find some time to get out now......

We ordered back in October and should have had to wait until May, but someone cancelled......oh well!

I'm not sure of the technicalities,but many car lighting circuits don't pick up that caravan LED bulbs are switched on (i.e side lights, indicators etc). This means that you don't get a warning in the car that the trailer lights are operating, which is unlawful.

It might also be that sometimes the LEDs don't even work but not entirely sure about that. To rectify the issue costs about £100 to fit some electrickery device.

Not just Bailey vans, others have had it too.But Bailey stopped fitting the LEDs and reverted to normal bulbs.

I bet its because LED's draw insufficient current to drive the relay that gives you the annoying noise in the car to tell you the indicators are working!!
