I stand corrected, You are quite right there is no wood in the panel construction, however the floor is still wood and will rot or delaminate and water ingress has not been eradicated. As I said in my 1st post they have nearly got the construction technique correct but not quite. Water can still get in but will not be visible in the wall panels due to their internal construction material but the internal fittings can and will get damp. I got rid of my Bailey due to it's build quality and having visitted a dealer last week nothing I have seen has caused me to change my mind. If you are happy with your Bailey that is fine. Where would we be if we all drove around towing the same vans with the same cars.

Jerry+Tina I totaly agree about the floor, but aren't most vans floors wood?  I think its one of those things we will have to keep an eye on, but i think as its a new van, if its lets in water anywhere ths side of ten years they'll be having it back!!

All floors are wood as far as I am aware, as are the wardrobes and internal walls some form of wood material. I think Bailey are on the right track but until they can do away with joints then water can and will find a way in. The advantage of Baileys internal wall  is that it will not rot due to it's covering but the other internal fixtures will continue to do just that.  As I said previously I got rid of mine due to the inferiority of the materials and finishing, but that was my choice. If your Bailey leaks within the 10 years just ensure you have maintained it in accordance with Baileys conditions and have read any small print then I am sure you will be happy. As for "having it back if it leaks" I am assuming that you meant for repair as you have no right to return it.
