Well, had a cold sometimes wet easter in North Wales in our new Pegasus 534. ( Bala CCC site)

It tows very well-not surprising with a Sorento! 

Everything works, nothing broke!

It is very warm and comfortable.

 Issues, couple of cupboard catches don't always latch, need a fiddle, bit of excess mastic in the awning rail!

Bonus was that the directional TV aerial worked well.

The TV supplied is an Avtex combi which is superb. Good JVC stereo in the van too.

 N .Wales has gone digital  so we got loads of stations!

Last time we were there nothing, had to use Maplins satellite kit.

So happy bunnies, BUT  typical back at work and weather is nice!!

Nice to hear of one! Glad you like it, excess mastic seem a common Bailey issue but heck that's easily dealt with though really I think dealers just pocket the delivery charge when that is exactly the sort of thing they should deal with and indeed the catches.

Happy towing!

When we looked at one last week I wondered about the amount of things that could end up lost behind the front corner top lockers there seems to be limited access to them from the front top locker including around the corner into the side part of the corner, but no access into the corner from the side top lockers?

Just think of the treasure troves that may be found in the future!!

Those cupboard catches look awfully flimsy to me, anyone had any break yet, they just look like a piece of plastic that is about to snap.

Yes, they're the same on the Pageant 7.  We've not had a problem at all with ours.  I suppose I good thing about them is if they do go they are easy to replace and probably cheaper than a more complicated device.

We had had no issues in 15 well used months with the same catches in our S7 Bretagne. Only 1 month to go until we get our Pegasus.

Well we can add a very similiar message : we went to Abersoch for the easter break with your peggy 514, and its lovely! 

No problems, well only one its gets warm so we have to go and cool off by walking along those nice beaches.

But seriously no problems, towing is brill cupboard space is enough to hide a body in (in bits ) and everything works well .  Well happy bunnies .  Now we are getting a nice shiny new car to go with it !

Remember that human nature is to shout louder with a problem than with praise. By that fact forums can possibly give a doom & gloom picture.
I am not belittling the problems that some people have had as it is clear that some vans have left dealers in seriously substandard condition, but from the number of Peggys I saw on the road (& on site), there must be some good ones.

i think the very early models are the ones that had the quality  problems.maybe they`ve got their act together at long last and starting to put them together as they should be put together.
