1INTRODUCTION
It is Bailey policy to constantly improve their vehicles, so whilst all illustrations and descriptive matter in
this handbook are intended to give a general idea of the Leisure Home and are correct at the time of
going to press, changing market and supply situations may prevent them from maintaining the exact
specification details of this handbook. Bailey therefore reserve the right to alter the specification at any
time without prior notice.
“Bailey Caravans offer a variety of customer uses and whilst each vehicle is designed to feature the
optimum storage, seating, sleeping and fluid capacities, it is the customer’s responsibility to select the
correct loads and loading of the vehicle. The Retreat range of Leisure Homes can only be relocated
with e DVLA approved vehicle.”
1.1.2 SAFETY
This handbook contains the information that you will require for your safe enjoyment of your Leisure
Home. All the information contained herein is important. However, to draw your attention to specific
items we have prefixed them with the following symbols to indicate a warning, caution or note respectively.
Warnings are items that if ignored can cause the user(s) physical harm.
Cautions are items that if ignored can result in damage to the caravan.
Notes are reminders that should be heeded.
▲To ensure all the occupants of your Leisure Home enjoy a safe and relaxed environment
please observe the following
▲Ensure all occupants are aware of their escape routes in an emergency
▲Always keep escape routes and exit points clear from obstruction and debris
▲Provide one dry powder fire extinguisher of an approved type or complying with ISO 7165 of
at least 1Kg capacity by the main door, and a fire blanket within easy reach of the cooker.
▲Ensure the Leisure Home is serviced and maintained in accordance with this handbook.
The recommendation of manufacturers regarding their appliances must also be followed.
Also, ensure that any replacement parts for an appliance conform to the appliance
manufacturer’s specifications and should be fitted by them or an authorised agent.
▲Your Leisure Home is a compact living environment and appliances should be treated in
the same way as those in the home to prevent accidental burning and scalding. Keep
young children away from hot surfaces.
▲Always insure that your Leisure Home is moved by a qualified and fully insured driver.
▲Your Leisure Home is supplied with a EN1645 approved step. Always take care when
entering or exiting your home, ensure that the step is securely located and safe before

INTRODUCTION 1
1.4.6 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Bailey Warranty Cover set out above is offered subject to the following simple terms and conditions:
Cover
1. During the term of the Warranty Cover, subject to these terms and conditions, Bailey will,
through an Authorised Service Centre, at its option repair or replace all parts and components
of the Retreat Leisure Home that are included in the Warranty Cover and which suffer a defect
in manufacture or workmanship. An Authorised Service Centre means either Bailey itself, a
Bailey Approved Retailer or a Bailey Approved Service Centre. Any part which is replaced
becomes the property of Bailey. Any replacement parts are covered for the unexpired term of
the Warranty Cover.
Term
2. The initial duration of the Bodyshell Integrity Guarantee is six (6) years and the duration of the
Manufacturer’s Warranty is three (3) years in both cases starting from the original purchase date
of the vehicle. It is a condition of the warranty that an annual service is performed on the vehicle in
accordance with the service plan. Failure to comply with this term will invalidate the warranty.
3. The unexpired term of the Warranty Cover on your vehicle may only be assigned, transferred
or novated to subsequent owners with Bailey’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and
on payment to Bailey of a transfer fee of £35. Transfer can only be made within the first three
months (3) of subsequent ownership and full documentary evidence that the vehicle has been
serviced annually must be provided at the time of assignment in accordance with the terms
and conditions detailed above.
Repairs
4. The Retreat Leisure Home must undergo a full annual service and inspection, including a
moisture survey, carried out, subject to paragraph 5 below, by an Authorised Service Centre.
The final annual service in the warranty period must be carried out before the end of that
warranty period, but all other annual services may be carried out within six (6) weeks either
side of each anniversary of the original purchase date. The original VAT invoices must be
retained as proof that these annual inspections have been carried out.
5. Any servicing or warranty work to your Bailey Retreat Leisure Home is subject to a call out
charge, which can be pre-determined with your supplying retailer.
6. Any servicing or warranty work must be carried out at a registered campsite.
7. During the first three (3) years of the Warranty Cover, all annual inspections and repairs
must be carried out either by Bailey itself or an approved Bailey Service Centre or Agent.
Thereafter, due to the technical nature of an Alu-Tech constructed caravan, annual inspections
and repairs may be carried out by any workshop or repair centre approved by the National
Caravan Council that has attended Alu-Tech training courses at the Bailey factory.
8. Where an annual inspection identifies that repairs to the vehicle are necessary, the Retreat
Leisure Home must be made available for repair within six (6) weeks of the date of inspection
for the purpose of carrying out the repair work.
9. No repairs, including the fitting of any replacement unit, may be undertaken or commenced
under the terms of the Warranty Cover unless prior written authorisation is obtained from
Bailey via an authorised Bailey Retailer or Service Centre. No liability will exist with regard to
any warranty claims not authorised in this way.
10. Bailey reserve the right to examine the vehicle before any repairs commence or any
replacement part is fitted.

Careful thought is necessary for the positioning of a fire extinguisher, which should be
near to the door but not too close to the cooking equipment where sudden flames could
make it unreachable. In the kitchen area, a fire blanket is a worthwhile precaution.

INTRODUCTION 1
Environment
Care and consideration should be taken to protect the environment.
Observe the Country and Coastal Codes shown below.
The Country Code
Enjoy the countryside but respect its life and work.
More people than ever before are exploring the countryside, interested in farming, plant life, bird watching
or just observing the general wildlife. Whatever your interest, there is a lot to learn, but please observe
the following code.
Guard against all risk of fires. Hay and heath land catch alight easily and once ablaze are very hard to
put out. Remember Fire spreads quickly.
●Keep to the public paths across farmland.
●Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls.
●Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone. View from a distance.
●Take your litter home; - it is unsightly and harmful to wildlife.
●Help to keep all water clean.
●Take special care of country roads
●Make no unnecessary noise. Most Animals are timid; noises can disturb them unnecessarily. If
you want to get the best out of the countryside, travel around as quiet as possible.
The Coastal Code
As our coastlines are increasingly used for recreation and education, the following suggestions are
made to enable us to enjoy our inheritance and preserve it for posterity.
●Do not trample about, or move rocks unnecessarily.
●Do not frighten seals or sea birds.
●Do not spear fish
●Do not spill detergents, solvents or fuel from boats as these can kill marine life.
●When using a boat, moderate your speed- the wash from a fast boat can destroy both banks and
nests.
●Live molluscs and crustaceans need not be collected as souvenirs - dead shells can usually be
found.
●Shellfish can take years to grow and fines can be imposed for not observing national regulations.
●Do not pull up seaweed unnecessarily.
●Make your visit instructive not destructive.
●Look at material, don’t remove it. Take notes and photographs, not specimens.
●Observe bye-laws and be considerate to others.
●National Trust property or Country Parks have regulations to protect the wildlife. Follow these.

1INTRODUCTION
Safety and Security
Important: your attention is drawn to the notice fixed in your Leisure Home advising on fire protection,
ventilation and what to do in case of fire.
Children
Never leave children alone in the Leisure Home and keep potentially dangerous items out of reach as
at home e.g. matches drugs etc.
▲When upper bunks are used by children, especially those under the age of six, care
should be taken to ensure against the risk of them falling out. These bunks are not
suitable for the use of infants without adult supervision.
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1 Kg (2.2lb) minimum capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be located near to
the main habitation entrance door.
A pan fire ‘should’ not have a fire extinguisher aimed at it but be smothered with a fire blanket. This
should be within easy reach of the hob but away from the source of flames.
In case of a fire
●Get everyone out of the Leisure Home as quickly as possible using whichever exit is nearest
including windows. Do not stop to collect any personal items.
●Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade
●Turn off gas cylinder valve if it is safe to do so.
Ventilation and Condensation
▲The ventilation points on your Leisure Home are fixed points of ventilation which are
specified by European Standards. Under no circumstances must these be blocked or
obstructed. It is advised that fixed ventilation points and any protective screens are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular basis.
▲Fresh air circulation should be allowed below the Leisure Home when appliances are in
use and when flues terminate below the floor to allow free evacuation of the products of
combustion. At least three sides of the under-floor space should be kept clear and
unobstructed including by snow. Do not make any additional openings in the floor.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained by releasing the window catches and placing them in the
second groove on the frame catch.
