So we finally took the plunge yesterday after 6 months of looking and brought a brand new Bailey Unicorn Cadiz. Can't wait to pick it up on 13th April. What a difference shopping around makes though saved £2200 on the deal we were originally made! Will shortly report on the service from the dealer but so far very good!

Congratulations! We pick our new van up on Thursday, weather permitting! I feel like a child waiting for Christmas and trying to be "good" so that I get my new toy!!!!!

Where did you get it from? We are also Cambridgeshire and bought from Grantham Caravans. So far excellent service - we phoned 5 times last Friday as we were arranging insurance and had to keep checking things......all done with very fast replies.

What made me laugh was that we spent a lot of money yet hadn't done any research, it really was an impulse buy at the NEC! We hadn't a clue about all the extras that were included in the price until we started phoning asking if they could supply us!!!!!! Hitch lock, wheel lock, EHU lead!

Enjoy your new van17

Hi issym

We are from St Neots. The van we have at the moment was from Grantham Caravan and they have serviced it too since we have had it and I only have good things to say about them, we would have gone back but they don't do Bailey's and we had decided on the Cadiz.
Good luck with your new van I know you will be pleased with the service from Grantham the young lad in the shop (can't remember his name) is very helpful there. We are getting this van from Raymond James Caravans as the salesman at the show was great and done a much better deal than White Arches our local dealer.
I know what you mean about kid at Christmas is terrible I want to be away in it now. Only 3 week's to wait!! What are you getting I'm guessing a Sprite or Lunar from Grantham?

So good to hear the positive feedback about Grantham Caravans. Yes, we are getting a Lunar Clubman, swapping over from tenting. Our main holiday is to see our daughter and grandson in America, lovely as it is it doesn't feel like we've had a holiday! We want to be able to go away week-ends throughout the year and the tent just doesn't work that way. We have spent a fortune on week-end breaks throughout the winter so the initial outlay for van (and decent towcar) is justified.

We are staying at Woodland Waters for the week-end, courtesy of Grantham caravans, for a trial run. I am sitting surrounded by all our camping gear ready to pack tomorrow. I shall use what we have for now to evoke some lovely camping memories and marry them to our new adventure.
