2004 BAILEY RANGER 5506

3,700 GBP

This is an advert for a 6 berth Bailey Ranger 550/6, luxury touring caravan. This is a well-appointed quality caravan that is nicely finished both inside and out. Being hi-spec it is very well equipped with lots of extra features fitted as standard. The caravan is in good condition for its age with everything in working order and has pretty much everything you will need to be able to hitch up and go on holiday. Ideal for a family who want the versatility and luxury of a high specification luxury touring caravan. The bunks along the back are fixed and this area can then be separated off from the rest of the caravan by curtains.
This is an opportunity to grab an 'end of season' bargain with similar caravans in good order retailing for £5 -5500 at caravan dealers. This caravan is perfectly usable as it is but also offers the opportunity to add value if required by carrying out a repair.
The front of the caravan has 2 long parallel settees arranged opposite one another providing room for lounging in the day and converting into a large double bed or 2 singles at night. As you walk back through the caravan the well fitted kitchen is is on your left. Adjacent is a large wardrobe for storage and adjacent to this is the wash room with toilet, shower and sink. Opposite this is a single dining area that by night converts into 2 single bunk beds. Across the back of the caravan is another set of fixed bunks. Both these areas can be divided off from the rest of the caravan by curtains, ideal for little ones going to bed early or giving privacy when required.
The kitchen is very well fitted with plenty of storage cupboards, drawers and a cutlery drawer. The area is then well lit by an under cupboard light. There is a hob with grill fitted. The sink with drainer is fitted with a cover to increase work space. A three way fridge with freezer compartment is built into the unit. Three way means it will work on gas or electric. It can also be used on the 12 volt from your car to hold the temperature whilst you are travelling.
The wash room has a Cassette Toilet which empties from the outside, and has an indicator light on it which lets you know when it needs emptying. The toilet is the swivel type which provides more space in the bathroom. There is also a shower in the wash room and a washbasin which I replaced from plastic to stainless steel.
This whole area can then be separated from the rest of the caravan for privacy.
Under one of the seats the water heater is fitted which provides hot water to the kitchen and bathroom. This heater will work on electric or gas. To keep the caravan warm all the windows are double glazed and there's a powerful fire in the centre of the caravan which will work on electric or gas. This is aided further by the benefit of blown air central heating. This is an independent fan which circulates air through vents positioned around the caravan. If the fire is on it circulates hot air, keeping all parts of the caravan warm by distributing the heat. It also keeps the wash room warm and dry as there is a vent in there. If the fire is off the blown air system works just as a fan circulating air, ideal in keeping the caravan cool in hot weather. Other equipment includes blackout blinds and fly screen's, these are fitted to all windows as well as curtains.
Other equipment includes a control panel, battery charger, 12 volt lighting as well as individual reading lights, mains electric sockets, 12V sockets and aerial point, TV shelf, fitted door mat, outside light and a water pump. On the roof is an Omni directional aerial which means it will pick up signal from all directions without having to direct it. There’s also a booster inside the caravan to enhance the signal further. There’s lots of storage space under the seats which have lift up tops for easy access. Further storage is found in the large wardrobe and shelving units and in the many cupboards and drawers around the caravan. There is a large table in the caravan which stores away when not being used. The table is the free-standing type which means it can be used on warmer days outside or in an awning.
Externally it has the added benefit of being fitted with an Alko Stabilizer type tow hitch which is far cleaner, safer and easier to use than the old style leaf spring type of stabilizer. Internally it benefits from being fitted with a removal carpet for ease of cleaning etc. All the appliances have been switched on and appear to be in working order.
The caravan has a compulsory yearly gas check organized by manor farm campsite.
The caravan has all the equipment needed to be able to take the caravan away and use it. This includes a gas regulator, mains hook up cable, and a brace for winding the legs down.
Full awning with two full height bedroom extensions

Obviously it is a used caravan so there are bound to be some signs of use eg, the bathroom sink is replaced with a stainless one and there are a few marks and dings as you would expect . but overall the caravan is in good condition for the year and looks as you would expect on a caravan of this age, apart from the points I now list.
There has been some water ingress on the side wall adjacent to the front side window on the right side.
this is as a result of the window seal having failed and is now fixed. This is only noticeable because the wall board has started to bubble under the window and in an area mainly to the right of the window behind the curtain.
The front window has a 8 inch crack in the top right corner
The caravan is perfectly usable as it is but this would be an opportunity to add value if it was repaired. This type of repair is fairly straightforward for a competent DIYer, the materials required being relatively inexpensive, wall board and glue .
All of the appliances have been checked and appear to be in working order although there is no warranty offered or implied. Usual eBay auction terms apply. Prior to use and for your peace of mind and safety the caravan should be inspected by a gas engineer for safety etc
