Bailey Water System (2012 Model Year, Pegasus)
Sourced from Bailey's 2012 model year owner's manual for the Pegasus range. If your caravan is a different age or range, some details — such as the exact control panel brand or chassis-component generation actually fitted — may not match. Always cross-check against the handbook that came with your specific caravan.
