Another great job Martin. Tricky job made to look easy

Unrelated to the project but I’m just about to buy a brand new caravan. I’ve narrowed it down to two manufacturers with one being Bailey. After watching your vlog and seeing the competence employed in creating the drain hole means I wouldn’t now ever touch a Bailey. Your vlog has been enlightening. Thank you.

I'm always forgetting to close the valve, when setting up the water! Cheers Martin, and have a good season mate! 👍

No wonder my sevice engineer does not favour Bailey caravans. They do have many positives though. I enjoy my Cabrera. Keep the tips and advice coming.

Just like the 15mm house hold push fittings you can get the inserts for the 12mm push fits helps them create a better seal

Thanks for the video Martin... gives me the confidence to try these things out myself when needed... a considerable amount of expletives in my case though 😊👍

Great job Martin, 👍 keep it up.

great vlog great job

I think Bailey used an SDS drill to make that hole😮 Great video as always Martin.. looking forward to the next. Best Wishes Linda and Glenn 👍

Great video young man 👍 our drain down pipe was dripping an noticed Phil from lost weekend was on about it a while ago and he changed his. Then after that ours got worse so changed ours. And your right the price of it is shocking from caravan dealers, Amazon was the cheapest an free postage 👍

They’re always in a bit of a sod of a place, in my old Elddis I had to be an acrobat as it was under the fixed bed at the back.

Nice one Martin 👍

Good idea and tidy job Martin. The old drain valve hole your correct it's shocking workmanship shame on you Bailey employing wood butcher's. Thanks for sharing 👍

Neat job Martin well done explaining as always helps others Baileys job shame on you hope someone from Baileys see this

I do like your posts Martin. Why do designers think having service points under a bloody seat is a good idea is a joke. If I was king, the service points would be all accessible through the gas stations or similar.

Why do I always remember I haven’t thrown the yellow flap until I’m locking van door before moving off and the flap is under the seat and there’s now chairs, tables, and (insert any bulky item here” on the floor ! Jobs a Bobby Martin …good on yer H

Hello Martin, the reason Bailey installed a plinth for the drain valve to sit on would be to cover up the shocking mess that was made in the caravan floor. Usually these vales are secured directly onto the floor, being the lowest point. This also raises the question that will the system drain down correctly? As the dump valve should be at the lowest point. Keep warm. Kenneth.

You made that look easy x

Great little video. All the manufacturers seem to have zero thought for the end eludes with stuff like this. Oh and the shody careless workmanship from them is shocking. Our 2023 swift has screws coming out and missing from the where the bulkhead joins the floor.

I'm sure the saying was would you risk it for a Swisskit lol.

It never ceases to amaze me the lack of pride taken at the factory, how on earth can you go home at night after having done such a shoddy job. 😡🤦‍♂️

A job I’ve wanted to do for years! How do you disconnect the quick fit water connectors please?

Nice job and makes life easier 😊 sadly bailey's have a reputation for shoddy workmanship - out of site out of mind must be thier motto....

Unbelievable I’d send a picture of that to Bailey and ask them to explain it

Been in the classroom all day, been brutal

That original install by Bailey must of used a machette to make that hole. Be good to drill it out and fill it as you say!

Our drain down is in a awkward place too not much thought gone into making life easier for us 🙈

Looks like it was hacked out with an axe 😬

AHH yes the dreaded drain down valve that I always forget to close when setting up on site 🫢😂
