STATEMENT OF CONFORMITY
All Bailey caravans have been
certified by the National Caravan
Council for compliance with UK and
European standards and legislation
along with industry codes of practice relating
to health and safety issues. The approval
process covers the testing and inspection of
critical areas of the product including fire
safety, weights and dimensions, gas, electrics
and ventilation. Every Bailey caravan carries
the NCC Approved Caravan badge.
The NCC conducts unannounced inspections at
their members’ factories to ensure continued
compliance.
NCC approval gives you peace of mind that
your caravan is safe and legal.
Your Bailey caravan is also European Whole
Vehicle Type approved. This certification
assures you that your caravan meets
all European regulations and has been
constructed to conform to the rigorous
standards for both manufacturing and product
safety. It enables you to register your vehicle in
other European countries.
The certificate of conformity can be found in
the document pack provided with your vehicle.
If for any reason a replacement certificate
should be needed your Bailey Caravan retailer
is responsible for accessing one through the
NCC system.
Please refer back to your retailer for additional
copies.

TION
To ensure all the occupants of your
caravan enjoy a safe and relaxed
environment, please observe the
following:
• Ensure all the occupants are aware of the
vehicle’s escape routes.
• 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 7465 and BSI 5423 of at least 1kg
(2.2lb) capacity by the main door, and a
fire blanket next to the cooker. Familiarise
yourself with your fire extinguisher.
Your tourer is a compact living environment,
and appliances should be treated in the same
way as those in the home.
• Always keep young children away from
hot surfaces.
Your tourer is supplied with an EN1645
approved caravan step. Always take care when
entering or exiting your tourer ensuring that
the step is securely located before use. Do not
use a damaged or broken step.
• The torque setting of the caravan’s wheel
bolts should be checked 30 miles after
collection from the caravan retailer
or after a service or wheel change.
Thereafter, wheel bolts should be checked
before every journey. The torque settings
and tightening sequence are detailed in
the caravan and tow vehicle section.
• Never attempt to lift the tow hitch with
your hands when hitching the caravan
to the tow vehicle or at any other time.
Always raise or lower the tow hitch by
winding the handle on the jockey wheel.
• Always ensure that the green button
located on the leading edge of the
coupling head is raised before towing.
