I agree with the table being a pain where it is stored, we put ours in the skinny cupboard next to the shower. I'm a big fan of the Bailey's, we have the 2020 Pamplona black edition and just love it.
Agree on the table, takes a lot of storage room away as well. I found the kitchen sink used to much of the worktop too. A rectangle sink, would give you more worktop.
Check the storage left hand side of the shower we have a pamplona black edition 2021 it has two place's it can be stored see if it has the fixings already there????
I have this caravan and I love it. The table stores in the cupboard beneath the wine rack and slots in perfectly and there is even a plastic lever to secure it. Indeed last summer we also easily stored a second outdoor table in the same cupboard. My main bugbear is the tiny sink in the bathroom.
Totally agree with the table storage, we have a Bailey unicorn Cadiz and your table is stored in the wardrobe, pain pain to get in and out, cheers Mark for this video 👍👍.
Hi Mark, I think I've also got an aversion to caravan tables! Ours is too heavy, too awkward to manoeuvre & the retaining clips too sharp. It's now been relegated to behind the wardrobe in Bed 2 at home 😄
Nice van is that and agree about table think I'd leave it at home been looking at a caravan same layout as that it's lovely not alot of head room when your 6ft 4 lol
We have a Brindisi with the same table storage. As there is only the two of us the pull out flap is plenty and the table stays at home. This means we carry our reclining chairs under there which then stay in the awning on arrival.
We have the grande Messina, our table storage is in the kitchen cupboard. I’m glad it’s not under the bed😊 totally agree that’s a silly place to put it.
Bailey always provide good storage and practical features, then they go and put the table under the rear bed. Was the TV bracket missing ( holes where it should be) or is the shelf the tv plinth?
Hi Mark. We are new subscribers to your channel, your reviews, and the tips we have found really useful. Your latest video on the bailey yes a lovely van, but we agree what a daft place for the table also the wine rack thing they should have dropped the unit underneath and made a useful shelf, just our thoughts. Cheers, Paul and Joanne 😁
Hi mark Where do caravan dealers get there px prices from I've just been given a ridiculously low px quote for my van I think it is anyway. Not by you but another dealer. just wondered if some dealers use the dartboard method or is there a glasses guide like cars
There is a glass guide which gives a trade value and a retail value, which on most caravans is very close to what dealers will give. BUT we all have some models that we just don't seem to sell, so then it's valued on how we feel it about it. Email me on thecaravanplace@aol.com with the details as if ur not too far away we will buy it, or at least give u an idea what it should be worth.
Have Bailey sorted out their water ingress through the roof strap and the wet floors underneath in the corners? We were looking at a new Cartegena a few years ago in the rain, water already leaking through the roof. " a lot if them do that" said the salesman, "we'll fix it before it goes out" so bought a Swift instead.
Just goes to show how good the caravan is when the only problem being mentioned is where the table is stored.😀 There are two other places set up to store it.
I love this caravan but far to big for my driveway and my tow car would not pull it yes the table would be up the loft until I sold it but it a beautiful condition
Hi Mark realy like your reviews. Can you let us know the price of the Van's you show. You never know we could be tempted to change our van..As you say what a daft place to store the table..
You are correct. Whoever in Bailey thought putting the table under the bed does not go caravanning. Like whoever in the caravan world thought putting a bin on the front door has no brains and why you have all that storage compartment and little carrying weight pass. Most caravans on the road must be overweight. That’s my Victor Meldrew bit.
I have the messina, the cupboard next to the oven where yours have shelves in mine doesn't, and has the latches in to fix the 2 tables in. Much better than putting under bed.
Missing t v bracket. You said they stole it?? No they did not. If they own it before you its there's not yours. If they remove it its there's. If you bought it minus the t v. Bracket that's your fault ?? You should negotiate a new deal to cover the missing tv bracket. Or knocked em down in price?? Mmm one thing I do like, and that is nitpicking??? I told u yesterday never buy a second hand violin as it could be a fiddle. Will you never learn ???
Just took ownership of this today, more than happy and no he didnt steal the Bailey Bear.
I've the Alicanto Grande Faro and totally agree with the table issue. Mines bubblewrapped in the loft. The under bed space is now huge
I agree with the table being a pain where it is stored, we put ours in the skinny cupboard next to the shower. I'm a big fan of the Bailey's, we have the 2020 Pamplona black edition and just love it.
Why does Bailey, now put there 230 power cable same side as the awning?
I think its trying to give a bit more room under the other side to store things. Only guessing though.
Agree on the table, takes a lot of storage room away as well. I found the kitchen sink used to much of the worktop too. A rectangle sink, would give you more worktop.
Thanks for your comments 👍
We have a Bailey Pamplona 2022 we bought at the show last year. We were going to go for the Porto. Wish we had the bathroom and toilet are much better
Hi Diane, yes it works very well and lots of room too.
Check the storage left hand side of the shower we have a pamplona black edition 2021 it has two place's it can be stored see if it has the fixings already there????
I like the snappiness of this review very much! Always something on this channel to enjoy. TY for sharing x
Glad you enjoy it!
Never disappoints does it 😄
totally agree with you about the table being under the bed.
Thanks George 👍

Thanks John, I am going to move the table tommorow lol.
We have a 2022 model and totally agree with your comment about the table location.
Thanks for your comments Dougie, it's not just me then.
Totally agree with the table storage, we have a Bailey unicorn Cadiz and your table is stored in the wardrobe, pain pain to get in and out, cheers Mark for this video 👍👍.

Hi Mark,

It's now been relegated to behind the wardrobe in Bed 2 at home 😄
Thanks Martin 👍
Nice van is that and agree about table think I'd leave it at home been looking at a caravan same layout as that it's lovely not alot of head room when your 6ft 4 lol
Thanks Steven
Yeah got the 2022 Brindisi and the tables a total pain when your setting up and packing away
We have a Brindisi with the same table storage. As there is only the two of us the pull out flap is plenty and the table stays at home. This means we carry our reclining chairs under there which then stay in the awning on arrival.
Better way to do it 👍
We have the grande Messina, our table storage is in the kitchen cupboard.
I’m glad it’s not under the bed😊 totally agree that’s a silly place to put it.
Thansk Matthew, lovely van you have too.
Our table fits in the long cupboard on the right hand side of kitchen (under the wine bottles) so you can have it in either place
Thanks Jon, checking this out tomorrow 👍
Bailey always provide good storage and practical features, then they go and put the table under the rear bed. Was the TV bracket missing ( holes where it should be) or is the shelf the tv plinth?
Yes TV bracket had been taken, was originally there. 👍

Thanks both, your views and comments are much appreciated. 👍
Sorry talking about the table should have mentioned that LOL 😆
Thanks Ken I will have a look in the morning. 👍

They have got a lot better now, they had a issue with sealants at one point a few years ago, but not seeing as many problems now. 👍
Hi Mark, love your channel but could you please tell us ball park figure prices. Thanks Doug
Noted! 👍
The tables usually fit inside the cupboard at side of the cooker.
theres never enough sockets anyways, but lets be honest its a caravan not a house.
Informative video as always, but no kitchen extractor fan at that price ?
Thanks Chris. No extractor from what I remember.
To be fair, if you use the table, just store it in the awning if you have one whilst onsite, then you're only taking it out and putting it back once.
Thanks
2 6kg bottles aren't the discontinued?
6kg normal are still available. Only 6kg lite bottles are stopped.
Just goes to show how good the caravan is when the only problem being mentioned is where the table is stored.😀
There are two other places set up to store it.
It is a cracking van. Will look for the other storage spots for it.
I love this caravan but far to big for my driveway and my tow car would not pull it yes the table would be up the loft until I sold it but it a beautiful condition
Thanks Paul 👍
Hi Mark realy like your reviews. Can you let us know the price of the Van's you show. You never know we could be tempted to change our van..As you say what a daft place to store the table..
Yes I always forget lol. This is 31,995
What year & how much ??
It is a 2021 and it will be £31995.
I have a 2020 Porto, we love it. The only gripe is trying to fill the onboard tank……who on earth designed that !!
Will have to test this. Thanks 👍

Don't hold back Colin lol, thanks 👍
I have the 2022 cartagena I leave my table at home for the same reason,
Who that that was a good idea needs a good talking too 🤣
All caravan tables are a pain in arse , don’t know why they bother, mines supposed to go in rear of wardrobe! It lives in garage
Thanks for commenting Richard 👍
My brother has a 2022 model, and can't believe there's no fly nets in the front 3 windows, can't open them up without everything flying in 😳
Checked it today and it has got the fly screens.
Did you check the big window ? I think only the small ones have fly screens. The older ones do more cost cutting I guess
I have the messina, the cupboard next to the oven where yours have shelves in mine doesn't, and has the latches in to fix the 2 tables in. Much better than putting under bed.
Try having 2 tables to deal with that are stored in the same cupboard making it completely unusable for anything else
Thanks Ste 👍
must be hard to sell caravans these days lol
Still very busy at the minute
Dead right about the table, mines in the loft
Thanks Paul 👍
I don’t think the table under the bed is a good idea I think 🤔 you might have picked up on this in the video 🤦♂️
Not sure how you thought that 🤣🤣🤣
The upholstery is cheap and tatty. In a short space of time the covers split on the curves where pressure is applied by your back when watching TV.
Missing t v bracket. You said they stole it?? No they did not. If they own it before you its there's not yours. If they remove it its there's. If you bought it minus the t v. Bracket that's your fault ?? You should negotiate a new deal to cover the missing tv bracket. Or knocked em down in price?? Mmm one thing I do like, and that is nitpicking??? I told u yesterday never buy a second hand violin as it could be a fiddle. Will you never learn ???
God it doesn't sound like you're trying to sell it! Haha definitely a poor place to store the table and waste of storage space
I can't just say it's great lol. Apparently we can move the table, so it might be great after all.
absolutely, stupid place to put table ...
Apparently there is somewhere else it can go, will have a look
