do not think so as the cost of secondhand vans is at a high at the moment.add to that the preferred type of van required by new buyers.

Hi everyone.  I've been away from UKCampsites for a few months.

Our Pageant Sancerre is not yet twelve months old, but we'll be keeping it for a while (I hope).  It's a shame that the Pageant seems to be coming to the end of it's run.  I agree when folk say they need to do something about the front lockers in the Pegasus - perhaps this design feature will be changed in the new range.

Welcome back. Hope you've been spending your time doing something fab. Or has the parole finally come through?

To get back to the original post, is it not just the Senator they are replacing, people are commenting about the Pageant now.  we have one which we preferred to the Senator (weight was one factor).

Thanks Viggo.  (Lots of Concerts and Practices - a musician/ choral conductor)  I'm a little out of sync. with caravans at present.  Does anyone know when the new Bailey range is due to be unveiled.  I'm guessing NEC in February?

Bailey seem to be making a rolling revision to their range, rather than going for a "big bang" change to everything all at once.

thing is the layouts are pants, 4 berth van with the washroom across the back?? means anyone sleeping up front that wants a leak during the night wakes up the folk kipping in the fixed bed. they look good, they seem to be glued and screwed together well but they need a wee bit of innovation for layouts

as for resale values, a 1 or 2 year old sandwich construction van will be taking a hit compared to alu-tech. run them until they fall to bits. amazes me why folk change vans every few years, wasting money imo, unless it is essential like having more kids


Argh yes the Sancerre or California (Fixed bed Bathroom across the rear)Yes terrible layout, you go away in your van, you decide that one of you (or both) decide to retire for the night so you just go the the ready made bed with a one piece mattress instead of fighting with all the cushions trying to make up the double when only one of you wants an early night, and still having the joins where you don't want them. Yes terrible, should not be allowed, takes all the fun out of going away.Yes really dissapointed we have one.
