Shirl250 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Our caravan has been away for a week for its annual service. It was on Tuesday but we dropped it off last Saturday and picked it up this morning. Our drive has looked so empty while he has been away on his holidays. He was sorely missed. So good to have him back all sorted, checked, tested, greased and lubed and dry as a bone ! Plus he now has two shiny red shocks on - very racy and so smooth ! Not bad for a spritely 8 year old ! So relieved ! Happy Days. 2007 Bailey Series 5 Senator Arizona (4 berth, rear bathroom, side dinette) towed by a 57 Kia Sorento XS Auto with Kumho KL17 tyres, Reich Mover, Kampa Rally 390, Caravan Tyres : GT Radial Maxmiler CX 185/80 R14 102R.

Shirl250 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'd qute like two single beds so I might look at replacing the front bench cushions with proper matresses. Just have to make sure we only invite friends round in summer when it's warm enough to eat in the awning ! 2007 Bailey Series 5 Senator Arizona (4 berth, rear bathroom, side dinette) towed by a 57 Kia Sorento XS Auto with Kumho KL17 tyres, Reich Mover, Kampa Rally 390, Caravan Tyres : GT Radial Maxmiler CX 185/80 R14 102R.

ChrisE Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 We have a 2009 California and have looked at other Bailey's with a view to upgrading. However having looked at alternatives we have decided not to bother and instead use the £ X, 000 we would need to spend for next years holidays. It does everything we need it to do, its comfy and the layout works for us. Couple of minor issues most efficiently dealt with under warranty - thanks C& S caravans at Accrington!!

chapmag Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 We won't part with our 2005 Series 5 Arizona for a while yet. It's still the bees knees and none of the post recession caravans can come close to matching the quality of the finish!! G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl250 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I've just spent all weekend cleaning it inside from top to bottom, washed the curtains, washed the bedding, washed all the crockery and cutlery in the dish washer and finally reloaded everything (mostly) back inside after completely emptying it for the service. Spring clean over ! It looks sparkling ! The outside next. ......
