bailey after sales and warranty has been first class so far, fortunately !
as far as im aware Bailey dropped the re-torqueing at year 3 service a few months ago meaning its same price to service as any other van

as for the production line , we would be in bother working like that at our place . housekeeping is for the whole shift not just the end of shift and if that means the manager putting his overalls on and lending a hand then so be it . 3 jobs in 24 years and they all provided uniform, and the range off ppe in current job is fantastic.

The checking of the bolts has been dropped.

On our fourth Bailey over about 10 yeras, never had any major problems with any of them. Any faults have been corrected by th edealer.

Love our Pegassus 534 which is presently in France!

Bailey did offer a 10 year Gtee on the bodyshell of their Alu-tech range, but then Bailey looked at it as a way of getting extra cash out of the punters. Now if you buy a Bailey it costs extra to have the extra piece of mind.

The only criticism I would have of the alutech design is with regard to the awning channel. At the back of the van, the corner is very tight and ours is a bit clogged with sealant. For us it is not a problem as we use a porch awning and feed it in from the front, but if you were to use a full awning then you might need to clean the channel out, and even then it might be an efford feeding the awning around the last corner.

We had a Bailey Ranger for 7 years, before we changed.

We toured all over the country with the van, the van was reliable and never gave us one bit of bother.

I have to say I would have no hesitation buying another Bailey.
