Snagging issues | Bailey D4-4

Since purchasing our Bailey D4-4 we had a few snagging issues... as is the case for any new caravan. We purchased ours from Oxford caravans and this video documents our experience from reporting the issues to getting them fixed.

Hi guys, we haven't really had any snagging issues, occasionally I find a screw rolling around somewhere and the bathroom door does get sticky on hot days so I filed a bit off the catch. I think there are adjustments you can make but I'm not sure. Oh but I have found the damp on the outside which is getting looked at next month.
I do highly recommend a mobile service man to service the caravan as ours is MUCH cheaper and MUCH more convenient. He's coming tomorrow as it happens.
Have a look at my vlog where I filmed him doing the service, it's a couple of years old. 👍

Hey Kevin, so glad to hear you haven’t really had much in the way of snagging issues. Fingers crossed for you that the damp is easily rectified. I’ll dig through your videos and check it out, certainly something to consider in the future as it is a bit of a pain hauling the caravan there and back. It’s worth it for a holiday, but a huge inconvenience just for work to be carried out. I hope Sadie’s recovery is going well ☺️

I don’t think we should just accept “every new caravan will have some issues”. Whilst it seems to be the norm, we as buyers should not accept that, else the industry will never improve.
I recently looked at a brand new Bailey Phoenix GT 440 to buy, but I was so disappointed with the general build quality that I decided to skip Bailey.
As it happens, I am planning to buy a new Swift from Oxford Caravans!
Glad your snags have been sorted, except the blinkers bug!

Hi, thanks for your comment. I would agree, it is so unfortunate that snagging issues occur. I have just accepted it because my parents have had 2 brand new caravans over the last decade (swift and bailey) and had snagging issues with both. It just seems to be the way. I do wonder how Adria and Coachman compare in this regard.
I hope the guys at Oxford Caravans look after you and you enjoy your new swift 😊
