I treat the red light on the toilet like the reserve fuel light on the car. You've still got a few miles in the tank yet.. Good tips on wheel nuts and stabiliser 👌

If red light comes on, open the flap and with a torch you can see how full the cassette is. It always comes on too soon in my opinion.

If you loosen the wheel nuts then torque them up, I would say you need to check them again after 30 miles/1/2 hr ish because it's similar to having the wheels off? I WOULD loosen them after a service so that they have an initial tighten by me with MY torque wrench which I will use, check after a short period then before leaving site each time. Whatever floats your boat of course.

Hi Martin, have subscribed to your channel as am a new viewer, great videos, I have just changed my caravan and purchased a Bailey unicorn Valencia 2012 , I only got it last Saturday and I noticed in your videos that in the front to the right you have a white motion looking sensor, I have the same in mine and looking through the owners manual it doesn’t really mention it, if it did I didn’t see it lol, I’m almost sure it’s not linked to the Sargent alarm, please could you advise me as to what it is, many thanks Regards Phil

Hi Phil as a fellow Bailey Unicorn (Barcelona) 2012 owner for may years now, I can answer that for you. The sensor is the PIR unit and is linked to the security alarm. There is also a siren fitted underneath the caravan. These are Bailey standard fittings supplied and monitored by Tracker UK, for an annual subscription. However in 2016 they stopped supporting these units and wanted you to pay to fit a newer up to date unit, which I declined. However these do continue to work as a normal alarm (just not monitored or tracked anymore). They are covered in the Bailey Unicorn range manual on page 4-53, under 4.14 - Tracker Monitor. You may also have received the separate Tracker manual. I find the alarm somewhat annoying as I frequently trip it by mistake. This is because it only has one button for on and off and no easy way of knowing if its on or not. I eventually got it in my head, that one blip from the siren is off and 2 blips is on. Also the remote key fob would turn itself on and off in my pocket every time I bent down, but I managed to sort that by gluing a flat rubber tap washer around the button to prevent it being pressed by mistake. Worked a treat for negligible cost!

Wouldn’t it be useful to have 2 toilet cassettes so when you take a full one out you immediately replace with an empty one? No accidents in the cassette space like that either.
