INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome,
Congratulations on the purchase of your Bailey motorhome. We would like to welcome you into the ranks of Bailey owners. We are condent that
this vehicle will give you many years of enjoyment.
This handbook has been designed to enable you to derive the maximum benets and pleasure from your motorhome. Its information and hints will
be benecial and help to protect your investment whether you are a new or experienced motorhome user.
WInformation leaets and literature on safe operation of appliances and equipment tted to your motorhome are included in the Bailey Information
pack. Please read these carefully prior to use.
Failure to observe recommendations or precautions could result in incorrect operation of equipment which could in turn lead to subsequent risk to
occupants.
The information contained within this handbook will answer most of your questions. However, if there are any areas that we have failed to cover
please do not hesitate to consult your supplying retailer. Supplementary user guides for certain components featured in this manual can be found
in the brochure and handbook section of the company website at
www.bailey-motorhomes.co.uk.
Equally, make sure that the weight of a heavy accessory will not place the MTPLM of the vehicle at risk when you are loaded up for a trip.
Always consult your supplying retailer before additional equipment is tted to ensure the location of appropriate structural support.
Retailers are not agents of Bailey and have absolutely no authority to bind Bailey by any express or implied undertaking or representation.
Happy Touring!
